Turn a clear Asana opt-in tag into a current contact
Use one agreed Asana tag to signal that a contact is ready for EmailOctopus, then let Notis keep the record current.
Trigger
Tag Added to Task
Fires when a tag is added to a task.
Action
Create or Update Contact
Creates a contact if absent or updates it if already in the list.
Why this helps
Opt-in status and contact details can be recorded in Asana without making it to the email list.
- Use a visible project signal to start contact maintenance.
- Keep the consent meaning of the tag explicit in the instruction.
- Update a contact when the person is already on the list.
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.
- 3Tell Notis the exact tag that signifies a valid opt-in, where to find the email, and to create or update the contact only when those details are present.
- 4Pick the Asana Tag Added to Task trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real task bearing the designated tag and a valid opt-in.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis identify the tag?
For Asana tag events, the event's parent is the tag. State the exact tag name or identifier and the task details Notis should use.
Does applying a tag prove consent on its own?
Only if your process defines that tag as confirmation of consent. Describe that meaning and any other required evidence in the instruction.
