Keep task decisions easy to find
When a comment records a decision, turn it into a concise Paper record tied to the task context.
Trigger
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
Action
Create paper document
Creates a new dropbox paper document at the specified path using html or markdown content.
Why this helps
Important decisions disappear in long comment threads and are hard to find later.
- Make decisions easier to retrieve later.
- Reduce rereading long task discussions.
- Keep a readable record of the decision and its context.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Dropbox once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a Dropbox Paper decision record only for comments that state a decision, using available task and comment details.
- 4Pick the Asana New Comment on Task trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real decision comment.
Questions about this workflow
Can it distinguish decisions from ordinary comments?
Tell Notis what language or signals count as a decision in your instruction.
Will it include earlier discussion?
Only information returned to Notis is available. Provide any needed history that the event does not include.
