Give new Asana attachments a useful companion summary
A new attachment should not mean another file to inspect from scratch. Ask Notis for a short companion PDF with the key points it can access.
Trigger
Attachment Added to Task
Triggers when an attachment is added to a task.
Action
Create PDF Asynchronously
Tool to queue asynchronous PDF generation via webhook. Use when you need to generate a PDF in the background and receive the result via a webhook.
Why this helps
Files attached to tasks often arrive without a quick explanation of why they matter or what to look for.
- Add a readable overview alongside task files
- Make incoming materials faster to scan
- Help collaborators understand an attachment's relevance
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Craftmypdf once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3Tell Notis to create a companion PDF summary from accessible attachment and task details.
- 4Pick the Asana Attachment Added to Task trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real attachment and confirm the available content supports the summary.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis summarize any attached file?
Not necessarily. Notis can summarize only attachment content it can access. If only file metadata is returned, the summary can cover the metadata and task context, not the file's contents.
What happens when an attachment is added?
The Asana Attachment Added to Task event starts the automation. Craftmypdf's asynchronous PDF generation queues the document and returns its result through a webhook.
