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

Why this helps

- Start a queued collection from the task handoff you already use.
- Keep the research trigger close to the planning workflow.
- Receive a run report in your chosen channel.

- 1Connect Asana and Countdown api once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation by naming it and describing the outcome in one instruction.
- 3Pick the Asana Task Moved to Section trigger and select where run reports go.
- 4Test with one real task that identifies the Countdown collection to start.
Questions about this workflow
What starts the collection?
The automation runs when an Asana task moves to the section you select for the trigger.
How does Notis know which collection to start?
Include the target collection ID in the task or instruction context. If the ID is missing or ambiguous, have Notis report that instead of guessing.
