Make new Asana work easier to measure
Capture new Asana tasks in a Databox dataset so task intake is ready for analysis.
Trigger
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Action
Create Dataset
Tool to create a new dataset in Databox data source. Use when you need to initialize a dataset with a title, data source ID, and primary keys for unique record identification.
Why this helps
Task intake is easy to overlook when work is spread across Asana projects and KPI dashboards.
- Create a structured destination for task intake data.
- Review incoming task volume alongside business KPIs.
- Reduce manual copying between project management and reporting tools.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Databox once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation by telling Notis the outcome you want in plain language.
- 3Ask Notis to prepare a Databox dataset for new Asana task records, including the fields you want to analyze.
- 4Select the Asana New Task Created trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real task and confirm the dataset setup fits your reporting needs.
Questions about this workflow
Does this automatically send each task into a dataset?
The listed Databox action creates a dataset. It does not push records into that dataset, so use this workflow to prepare the reporting destination.
What should I include in the dataset schema?
Tell Notis which task details matter for your analysis and define primary keys that uniquely identify each record.

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 create a new dataset in Databox data source. Use when you need to initialize a dataset with a title, data source ID, and primary keys for unique record identification.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create Data Source
Tool to create a new data source in Databox. Use when you need to create a logical container for datasets within a Databox account. Requires accountId, title, and timezone parameters.
Attachment Added to Task
Triggers when an attachment is added to a task.
Delete Dataset
Tool to delete a dataset by ID in Databox. Use when you need to permanently remove a dataset. This operation is irreversible.
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
Delete Data Source
Tool to delete a data source by ID in Databox. Use when you need to permanently remove a data source. This operation is irreversible and will delete all associated datasets.
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Get Dataset Ingestion Status
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.
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
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
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
