Make section moves ready for the next step
When work moves into a review or handoff section, prepare a document the next person can use.
Trigger
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
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
Moving a task forward often means someone still has to gather the context and prepare a review document.
- Prepare a document at a meaningful point in the workflow.
- Use asynchronous generation for documents that may take time.
- Make review and handoff context easier to share.
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, describe the project packet to create from the task's available details when it moves sections.
- 4Pick Asana's Task Moved to Section trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real task move and check the async document result.
Questions about this workflow
Can I use this for a specific section?
The trigger fires when a task is moved to a section in a project. Tell Notis the intended outcome in your instruction; the trigger itself is selected from the available Asana events.
Why create the document asynchronously?
The async action is intended for document creation where you want completion tracked or notified through a callback URL.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Asana to DocRaptor. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Asana triggers
DocRaptor actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create Document
Tool to create a PDF or Excel document synchronously from HTML content or URL. Use when you need to generate a document file from HTML data. The document is returned immediately as a downloadable file. Either document_content or document_url must be provided, but not both.
Attachment Added to Task
Triggers when an attachment is added to a task.
Create Document from Referrer
Tool to convert webpages into documents using referrer-based authentication without an API key. Use when you need to generate PDFs or Excel files from registered domains without explicit API credentials.
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
Create Hosted Async Document
Tool to create a hosted document asynchronously. Use when you need to generate a PDF, XLS, or XLSX document and track its completion status via callback_url or the status API.
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Download Async Document
Tool to download a completed asynchronous document using the download URL from status response. Use when you have a download_id and need to retrieve the generated document file.
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
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.
List Documents (JSON)
Tool to retrieve a paginated list of previously created documents with metadata in JSON format. Use when you need to see document creation history or query past documents.
Task Updated
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
List Documents (XML)
Tool to retrieve a paginated list of previously created documents with metadata in XML format. Use when you need to see document creation history or query past documents in XML format.
