Why this helps
Security review requests in project threads often require a separate, manual trip to find the current application inventory.
- Retrieve the current DNSFilter applications in response to a project comment.
- Bring a review input into the run report without searching manually.
- Help the team follow through on application review requests.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and DNSFilter once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations > New Automation and name it.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: when a project comment requests an application inventory review, retrieve the DNSFilter applications and summarize the returned list in the run report.
- 4Pick Asana's New Comment on Task trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real project comment requesting the review and check the inventory report.
Questions about this workflow
Does this action change application policy?
No. List Applications retrieves application information; it does not change policy.
Can the automation infer which apps should be approved?
It can summarize returned application information, but approval criteria must be supplied by your team.
