Resolve identifiers before they spread
Use a research tag to prompt a canonical identifier lookup for records that need cleanup.
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
Resolve Lost ID
Tool to resolve lost ids in the knowledge graph. use when you need to map a lost identifier to its canonical counterpart for data consistency.
Why this helps
Inconsistent entity identifiers can make later research and record matching harder than it needs to be.
- Map a provided lost identifier to its canonical counterpart.
- Support cleaner references across research notes.
- Run the lookup in response to a clear tagging action.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Diffbot once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Ask Notis to resolve the identifier included in a tagged task and report the canonical counterpart.
- 4Pick the Asana Tag Added to Task trigger and choose where reports go.
- 5Test with one task containing an identifier that needs resolution.
Questions about this workflow
Will Diffbot find an identifier if none is included?
The action resolves a provided lost identifier. Include the identifier in the task so Notis can pass it to Diffbot.
How does the tag event identify the tag?
For Asana tag events, the event's parent contains the tag GID. Test with the intended tag to confirm the trigger context.
