Why this helps
Neurodivergent founders often forget to enable revision tracking until too late. Once multiple people edit a doc, it's impossible to know who changed what or to recover old versions.
- Full edit history with timestamps
- Know who made every change
- Easy to revert if needed
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Google Drive to Notis.
- 2Create the automation: tell Notis 'When a new Asana task is created, create a Google Doc with revision tracking enabled and named after the task.'
- 3Select 'New Task Created' as the trigger.
- 4Pick your notification channel.
- 5Test by creating an Asana task and verifying a revision-tracked doc appears in Drive.
Questions about this workflow
Are revisions automatically tracked or do people have to turn it on?
Automatic. Notis creates the doc with revision tracking already enabled, no setup needed.
Can I see the full revision history?
Yes, Google Docs shows all revisions by default when tracking is enabled. Just click 'All changes saved to Drive' -> version history.
Does this slow down editing?
No, revision tracking is behind the scenes in Google Docs. No impact on speed.
Can I limit who can see revisions?
Revisions are visible to anyone with access to the doc. You control access via sharing permissions.
