Give every new Asana task its Contentful context
A new task can arrive without the content history behind it. Notis can query Contentful and send back a short brief with relevant entries for the team to review.
Trigger
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created 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
New tasks often send founders into Contentful to find background before they can make progress.
- Reduce context switching after task creation
- Surface potentially related entries early
- Give the team a consistent starting brief
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 name it.
- 3Describe that Notis should use the new task details to query relevant Contentful entries and send a concise context brief.
- 4Pick Asana New Task Created, choose a report channel, then test with one real example.
Questions about this workflow
Does this add fields to the Asana task?
The listed Contentful action runs a GraphQL query. The workflow can report findings through Notis, but it does not update Asana task fields.
How does Notis know which Contentful entries are relevant?
Tell Notis what task details and content signals to use in your instruction. If your matching criteria are not present in the task or query results, provide them 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
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.
New Comment on Task

New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
Tag Added to Task
Triggers when a tag is added to a task. Note: Asana's event structure is inverted for tag events — the resource is the task and the parent is the tag. So parent.gid gives the tag GID.
Task Updated
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
