Carry task ownership context into Datadog host tags
Keep a host's Datadog labels aligned with the tagging decision made in an Asana task, with a clearly supplied host and full tag set.
Trigger
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.
Action
Update host tags
Updates tags for a specific host in datadog. this replaces all existing tags from the specified source with the new tags provided.
Why this helps
Infrastructure context can drift when a team updates project records but forgets to update the tags used in Datadog.
- Keep host labels aligned with project decisions.
- Reduce manual tag maintenance.
- Make the replacement tag set explicit before updating a host.
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 update a Datadog host's full tag set when a task receives the designated tag, using the host identifier and replacement tags supplied in the task context.
- 4Pick the Asana Tag Added to Task trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real task and verify the host identifier and replacement tags before confirming the update.
Questions about this workflow
Does the Asana tag event identify the host by itself?
No. The event identifies the task and tag. Supply the host identifier in task context or your instruction.
Will this add only the new tags?
Datadog's host tag update replaces existing tags from the specified source, so provide the complete replacement set you intend to keep.
