Request a Contentful brief when work needs one
When a task needs a quick content check, send its context to a Notis webhook and get relevant Contentful entries summarized in a report.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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
Ad hoc content lookups interrupt focus and can be forgotten when the request comes from another process.
- Start a lookup from an HTTP request
- Reuse a consistent content research instruction
- Get the result in a selected report channel
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Contentful graphql once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and describe the desired brief.
- 3Tell Notis what request context to use in a Contentful GraphQL query and how to report the results.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger, choose a report channel, then test with one real request example.
Questions about this workflow
Does the webhook create an Asana task?
No. This workflow queries Contentful and reports results. The available actions do not create Asana tasks.
What should the request include?
Include the task or project context needed for the query. Avoid relying on fields that your incoming request does not provide.

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
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
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.
