Refresh a Contentful space reference when an Asana task changes

As work evolves, have Notis fetch the specified Contentful space details and include them in the task's run report.

Trigger

Task Updated

Triggers when a task is updated in a project.

Action

Get space

Retrieves details of a specific space by its id. this action is used to get information about a single space in contentful.

Why this helps

Workspace references can go stale across ongoing tasks, prompting repeated manual checks.

  • Prompt a fresh space lookup during ongoing work.
  • Retrieve the current space details, including available version information.
  • Keep the space id explicit in the instruction or context.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Asana and Contentful once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel what outcome you want.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve the specified Contentful space details when the task is updated.
  • 4Choose Asana Task Updated as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real task update and review the space details.

Questions about this workflow

Why would I need the version field?

Contentful requires the current version when using Update space. This lookup can provide the version in the retrieved space details.

Will every task update change Contentful?

No. Get space only retrieves details; it does not make changes.
