Why this helps
Story ideas arrive during busy workdays, then disappear into project lists before anyone shapes them into a brief.
- Give captured story ideas a dedicated editorial starting point.
- Carry task context into a draft without retyping it.
- Keep incomplete details visible for follow-up.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Curated once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named for creating editorial briefs from tasks.
- 3Tell Notis to make a brief-style draft issue from each new story task, using only supplied details and calling out unanswered questions for the confirmed publication.
- 4Pick the Asana New Task Created trigger for the project where story ideas are recorded.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real story task and review the brief.
Questions about this workflow
What should the task contain?
Include the story angle and any known context you want carried into the brief. Notis should flag gaps rather than invent details.
Is the draft ready to send?
It is a starting brief in draft form. Review it and add any missing context before using it as an issue.
