Action

Why this helps
New tasks often arrive without enough context to make the next action obvious.
- Clarify the apparent goal of a new task.
- Surface details that may need clarification.
- Get a suggested starting point without switching tools.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and DeepSeek once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to draft a short brief for each new task, including uncertainties and suggested first steps.
- 4Choose the New Task Created trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real task and refine your instruction if needed.
Questions about this workflow
Will DeepSeek know requirements that are not in the task?
No. The brief can only use the information available from the trigger and any context you provide in your instruction.
Can I ask for a specific tone or format?
Yes. Describe the format and tone in your instruction to Notis.
