Give each new research initiative a Countdown collection
Create the collection as the task is created, so your research plan has a place to be orchestrated.
Trigger
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Action
Create a new collection
Tool to create a new collection. Use when you need to batch and orchestrate multiple requests on a schedule.
Why this helps
Setting up a place for research after writing the task adds another interruption and follow-up.
- Create a collection as part of a new research handoff.
- Keep the purpose and collection setup prompt near the task.
- Avoid guessing when required collection settings are absent.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Countdown api once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe when a new research task should create a collection.
- 3Pick the Asana New Task Created trigger and choose a report channel.
- 4Test with one task that includes the collection details Countdown requires.
Questions about this workflow
Does this also add eBay requests to the collection?
No. The selected action creates a collection. Adding or configuring requests is not part of this workflow.
What if the task does not include collection details?
Ask Notis to report the missing information and avoid creating a collection with guessed settings.
