Make every new Asana task easier to hand off
When a task arrives, turn its available details into a clean PDF brief without stopping to format one by hand.
Trigger
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Action
Convert HTML to PDF
Tool to convert HTML to a PDF document. Use when you need to generate a PDF from raw HTML. Returns raw PDF bytes suitable for download or storage.
Why this helps
Task details can be scattered across a busy project, making quick handoffs and reviews harder than they need to be.
- Reduce time spent formatting task summaries
- Create a consistent handoff artifact from task information
- Keep new work easier to review
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and CustomJS once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then choose a name, prompt, report channel, and trigger.
- 3Tell Notis to prepare a concise HTML brief from available details whenever a task is created, then convert it to a PDF with CustomJS.
- 4Pick Asana's New Task Created trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real task and review the resulting PDF.
Questions about this workflow
What information can the brief include?
Notis can use details returned for the task, such as its name, description, and project context when available. Ask it to leave out details that are not present.
Do I need to build a template first?
No separate mapping screen is needed. Describe the desired brief in your instruction; CustomJS converts the generated HTML to PDF.
