Keep selected task updates reflected in Databox
Ask Notis to push relevant updated task records into a Databox dataset when Asana work changes.
Trigger
Task Updated
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
Action
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.
Why this helps
Task details change, but reporting can lag when someone has to remember to refresh the related data.
- Use task updates as a cue to refresh business reporting data.
- Push records to a dataset with a schema you have already defined.
- Reduce the manual steps between changing work and updating a dataset.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Databox once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation by describing the reporting update you want in plain language.
- 3Tell Notis which dataset to use and how to prepare records that match its existing schema.
- 4Select the Asana Task Updated trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real task update and confirm the records fit the dataset schema.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create the dataset if it does not exist?
No. The data push action needs a dataset ID. Create the dataset separately and provide its identifier before using this workflow.
Can it push any Asana field automatically?
Notis follows your plain language instruction. Specify the available task details you want included and ensure the resulting records match the dataset schema.

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.
