Turn task comments into Contentful reference searches
Questions in a task comment can be hard to answer from memory. Notis can query Contentful using the comment and task context, then report likely references.
Trigger
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
Action
GraphQL Content API Query
Tool to execute a GraphQL query against a specified space and environment. Use when fetching Contentful content via GraphQL after obtaining or providing a valid token.
Why this helps
Useful content references can be buried across entries while a discussion waits for an answer.
- Reduce manual searching during task discussions
- Keep replies grounded in available entries
- Help teammates move forward with references
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Contentful graphql once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to query Contentful using the new comment and task context, then report relevant entries.
- 4Pick Asana New Comment on Task, choose a report channel, and test with one real comment.
Questions about this workflow
Will Notis post a comment back to Asana?
No. The available Contentful actions query content. Notis can send a run report to the channel you choose.
What if a comment is too vague to search?
Ask Notis to say when the comment lacks enough context. You can include the project or content vocabulary it should use in the instruction.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Asana to Contentful graphql. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Asana triggers
Contentful graphql actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Get CMA Token
Tool to retrieve a Contentful Management API (CMA) access token. Use when making CMA calls to ensure valid authorization.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
GraphQL Content API Persisted Query
Tool to execute a persisted GraphQL query via its SHA256 hash. Use after registering a query hash to run cached queries by hash. On first call include full query text; thereafter invoke with only hash and variables.
Attachment Added to Task
Triggers when an attachment is added to a task.
GraphQL Content API Query

Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
Tag Added to Task

Task Updated
