Turn key Asana comments into decision PDFs
Keep a decision and its supporting files together when a task discussion surfaces an important outcome.
Trigger
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
Action
Generate document with attachments
Tool to generate a PDF with embedded attachments. Use when you need to bundle extra files into the PDF output.
Why this helps
Decisions in comment threads are easy to miss later, especially when supporting files live elsewhere in the task.
- Preserve key discussion context in a shareable document.
- Include supporting files in the generated PDF when available.
- Reduce the need to revisit long comment threads.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Docugenerate once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to use the new comment and task context to create a decision PDF with relevant attachments using your Docugenerate setup.
- 4Pick Asana New Comment on Task as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real comment and verify the PDF and included files.
Questions about this workflow
Will every new comment create a PDF?
The trigger is a new comment on a task in a project. Describe the outcome you want in the instruction and test with a real example.
What if there are no supporting files?
The action supports embedded attachments, but available files depend on the task context and the inputs provided to Notis.
