Get signing status when someone asks in Asana
Answer a status question from the task discussion by having Notis fetch the document's current Docnify state.
Trigger
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
Action
Get Document
Tool to fetch a specific document by its ID. Use when you need to view a document's current state and metadata.
Why this helps
Signing updates can require leaving the task, finding the document, and checking its status manually.
- Keep status checks tied to the conversation that prompted them.
- Reduce manual searches across work apps.
- Use current document metadata as the basis for a response.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Docnify once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe the status lookup in plain language.
- 3Tell Notis to fetch the Docnify document identified in the comment or task and report its current state.
- 4Pick Asana's New Comment on Task trigger for the project.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with a real comment that includes a known document ID.
Questions about this workflow
Will this find a document if the comment does not identify it?
The instruction needs a reliable way to identify the document, such as its Docnify ID in the task or comment.
Does fetching status change or resend the document?
No. Get Document retrieves current state and metadata; it does not change or resend the document.
