Find reporting accounts while the question is fresh
When a discussion raises a Databox reporting need, retrieve accessible accounts and keep the next step close to the project conversation.
Trigger
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
Action
List Accounts
Tool to retrieve all Databox accounts accessible to the authenticated user. Use to identify account IDs required for subsequent API operations like data source creation.
Why this helps
Account details can interrupt a project discussion when you have to leave Asana and search manually.
- Retrieve the Databox accounts available to the connected user.
- Keep account discovery connected to an active project conversation.
- Support planning for a later data source or dataset setup.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Databox once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe the account lookup in one plain language instruction.
- 3Ask Notis to retrieve accessible Databox accounts when a project comment signals a reporting need.
- 4Select the Asana New Comment on Task trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real comment and confirm the account list is useful for your next step.
Questions about this workflow
Will the workflow create a data source too?
No. This action only lists accessible accounts. Creating a data source is a separate Databox action.
Does every comment need to request account lookup?
The trigger runs on a new comment on a task in a project. State a clear instruction for handling the returned account information.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Asana to Databox. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Asana triggers
Databox actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create Dataset

Tool to check the status of a specific data ingestion for a dataset. Use when you need to verify whether a data ingestion was successful by providing the dataset ID and ingestion ID returned from the initial POST request.

List Accounts
Tool to retrieve all Databox accounts accessible to the authenticated user. Use to identify account IDs required for subsequent API operations like data source creation.
Tag Added to Task
Triggers when a tag is added to a task. Note: Asana's event structure is inverted for tag events — the resource is the task and the parent is the tag. So parent.gid gives the tag GID.
Push Data to Dataset (V1)
Tool to push data points to a Databox dataset using the v1 API. Use when you need to ingest data records into a specific dataset by providing the dataset ID and an array of records matching the dataset schema.
Task Updated
