Keep planned maintenance from creating alert noise
When a maintenance task reaches its planned section, let Notis schedule the matching Datadog downtime from the details you provide.
Trigger
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
Action
Create downtime
Creates a new downtime in datadog to suppress alerts during maintenance windows or planned outages. useful for preventing false alarms during deployments or maintenance.
Why this helps
During planned maintenance, expected alerts can distract from real problems if downtime is not set up on time.
- Cut avoidable alert noise during planned work.
- Tie maintenance suppression to a visible project milestone.
- Make timing and scope explicit before downtime is created.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Datadog once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a new automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create Datadog downtime when a task moves to the maintenance section, using the task's stated start, end, and monitor scope.
- 4Pick the Asana Task Moved to Section trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real maintenance task that includes a valid window and scope.
Questions about this workflow
What details must the maintenance task include?
Include the start and end of the window and enough scope to identify which Datadog alerts or monitors should be suppressed.
What if the task has no timing details?
Notis cannot infer the maintenance window. Include the missing information in the task or your instruction before relying on the automation.
