Auto-Generate Attachment Inventory
Every attachment added to Asana is automatically logged in a Google Drive inventory spreadsheet: file name, type, date added, task it belongs to. Never lose track of a resource again.
Trigger
Attachment Added to Task
Triggers when an attachment is added to a task.
Action
Find file
Tool to list or search for files and folders in google drive. use when you need to find specific files based on query criteria or list contents of a drive/folder.
Why this helps
Neurodivergent founders often accumulate attachments scattered across tasks and forget what exists or where it is. Without an inventory, rediscovering resources takes longer than recreating them.
- Central inventory of all your resources
- Searchable list of everything that's been attached
- Easy to rediscover or reuse assets
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Google Drive to Notis.
- 2Create the automation: tell Notis 'When a file is attached to an Asana task, add it to a Google Sheet called Resource Inventory with columns for file name, type, date, task, and a link to the file.'
- 3Select 'Attachment Added to Task' as the trigger.
- 4Choose your notification channel.
- 5Test by attaching files to a few Asana tasks and verifying they appear in the inventory sheet.
Questions about this workflow
Can I organize the inventory by project or category?
Yes. Add a column for project or category and Notis will populate it based on the task or file metadata.
Are actual file links included?
Yes, if the files are in Google Drive. Notis can also include Asana task links.
What if the same file is attached to multiple tasks?
It will appear once per task in the inventory, or you can tell Notis 'Only list unique files once with a count of how many tasks use it.'
Can I automatically remove entries if a file is deleted?
Not automatically, but you can manually remove rows or ask Notis 'Mark files as deleted if they're no longer in Asana.'
