Bring Elasticsearch context into Asana task discussions
A comment can raise a question that lives in another system. Search Elasticsearch when the discussion changes and get relevant records alongside the new context.
Trigger
New Comment on Task
Fires when a comment is added to a task in a project.
Action
Query Index
Searches an Elasticsearch index for documents.
Why this helps
Important supporting records stay buried across systems while a conversation is moving forward.
- Gather supporting records when a task discussion gets new information.
- Reduce manual searching during active project conversations.
- Keep results tied to the task comment that prompted the search.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Elasticsearch once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to search a specified Elasticsearch index for records relevant to each new task comment and summarize the matches.
- 4Pick the Asana New Comment on Task trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real task comment and review the report.
Questions about this workflow
Will every comment start a search?
The selected trigger starts the automation when a new comment is added to a task in a project. Notis does not add event filters during setup.
What if the comment does not contain enough search context?
Notis can report that the comment lacked enough information to find useful matches. You can refine the instruction with context available from the task or comment.
