Make every new Asana task easier to understand
Turn a fresh task into a clean, readable brief without stopping to assemble the context yourself.
Trigger
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Action
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.
Why this helps
Important task details can be scattered across descriptions and comments, making handoffs harder than they need to be.
- Create a shareable document as soon as a task is created.
- Keep the task description and available context together.
- Reduce manual formatting before a handoff.
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, ask Notis to make a concise PDF brief from each new task's available details.
- 4Pick Asana's New Task Created trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real task and review the generated document.
Questions about this workflow
What goes into the brief?
Notis can use task details returned by Asana, such as the task name and description. Mention any additional context you want included in your instruction.
Can it include information that is not on the task?
Only if that information is available to Notis or you supply it in your instruction or source data.
