Auto-Log Client Communications to Google Drive
Comments mentioning your client (or containing specific keywords) are automatically captured and exported to a client communication log in Google Drive. One place to review what was discussed and decided.
Trigger
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
Action
Download a file from Google Drive
Downloads a file from google drive by its id. for google workspace documents (docs, sheets, slides), optionally exports to a specified `mime type`. for other file types, downloads in their native format regardless of mime type.
Why this helps
Client communications across Asana are fragmented. Neurodivergent founders struggle to keep a coherent record of what was promised, discussed, or decided, risking misalignment or broken commitments.
- Single searchable record of all client discussions
- No missed commitments or misremembered promises
- Evidence trail if disputes arise
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Google Drive to Notis.
- 2Create the automation: tell Notis 'When a comment in Asana mentions a client (or contains Client tag), export it to a Google Doc called Client Communication Log with the date, comment, and task.'
- 3Select 'New Comment on Task' as the trigger.
- 4Pick your notification channel.
- 5Test by adding a comment that mentions your client and verify it exports to the log.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis identify client comments?
Via keywords (like mentioning the client by name), tags in Asana, or email patterns. You specify the rule in your prompt.
Can I export to multiple docs (one per client)?
Yes. Tell Notis 'Create a separate log for each client and route comments accordingly.'
What format is used in the log?
Date, task name, commenter, full comment text. You can customize the format.
Does this include internal comments too?
Only if they mention or reference a client. You can refine your rule: 'Only comments that mention the client name or have the external tag.'
Can I include attachments mentioned in the comment?
Yes, include that in your prompt: 'Include links to any attachments mentioned in the comment.'
