Prepare a document when task materials arrive
When a new attachment arrives, use its available content to prepare a document for the next step.
Trigger
Attachment Added to Task
Triggers when an attachment is added to a task.
Action
Create Async Document
Tool to create documents asynchronously from HTML content. Use when generating PDF, XLS, or XLSX documents and you need to poll for completion status or use a callback URL for notification.
Why this helps
New task materials can arrive without anyone turning them into the format needed for review or distribution.
- Respond to incoming task materials without manual reminders.
- Use asynchronous document creation for longer conversions.
- Keep document preparation connected to the task event.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and DocRaptor once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, specify the document to create from attachment content that Notis can access as HTML.
- 4Pick Asana's Attachment Added to Task trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real attachment and confirm its content is available to the workflow.
Questions about this workflow
Can DocRaptor convert any attachment directly?
The listed DocRaptor action creates a document from HTML content or a URL. The workflow needs accessible HTML content; the event alone does not guarantee that an attachment can be converted.
What if the attachment is not available as HTML?
Provide or produce accessible HTML content as part of the workflow context before asking DocRaptor to create the document.

Get Async Document Status
Tool to check the status of an asynchronously created document. Use when monitoring progress of async documents by polling for completion status.
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.

Task Updated
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
List Documents (XML)
