Start a launch list from the Asana section where work begins
When a launch task reaches the right section, Notis can create its requested EmailOctopus list and report the result.
Trigger
Task Moved to Section
Fires when a task is moved to a section in a project.
Action
Create List
Create a mailing list to organize email contacts.
Why this helps
Setting up a campaign list can be an easy step to postpone while launch work moves ahead.
- Start list setup at a clear point in the project workflow.
- Keep the list request and its launch context together in Asana.
- Avoid creating a list when the task does not specify the request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and EmailOctopus once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3Describe the launch section and the task details that must be present before Notis creates the requested list.
- 4Pick the Asana Task Moved to Section trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real task moved into the designated section.
Questions about this workflow
Does Notis create a list for every task moved to the section?
Use the instruction to explain which tasks qualify and what list name or purpose must be available. If required information is missing, ask Notis to report it instead of creating a list.
Can Notis decide the list name from project history?
Only use information available in the returned task context or specified in your instruction. Supply any naming convention that is not present in Asana.
