Auto-Create Priority Workspaces for Urgent Work
Tag a task as Urgent in Asana and Notis creates a ready-to-go folder structure in Google Drive with everything your team needs to move fast.
Trigger
Tag Added to Task
Triggers when a tag is added to a task. Note: Asana's event structure is inverted for tag events — the resource is the task and the parent is the tag. So parent.gid gives the tag GID.
Action
Create a folder
Creates a new folder in google drive, optionally within a parent folder specified by its id or name; if a parent name is provided but not found, the action will fail.
Why this helps
Neurodivergent founders lose speed on urgent work because they have to think about what file structure to create instead of just acting. Pre-made templates reduce cognitive load during high-pressure moments.
- No thinking about structure when speed matters
- Template folder is ready to use immediately
- Team knows exactly where urgent work lives
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Google Drive to Notis.
- 2Create the automation: tell Notis 'When I tag an Asana task as Urgent, create a folder in Google Drive with the structure [Summary file, Action Items doc, Timeline, References subfolder].'
- 3Select 'Tag Added to Task' as the trigger.
- 4Choose your notification channel.
- 5Test by tagging an Asana task as Urgent and verifying the folder structure appears in Drive.
Questions about this workflow
What should the template folder contain?
Whatever you need to move fast: a brief summary doc, action items checklist, timeline, references folder. You define the structure in your prompt.
Can different tags create different structures?
Yes. Tell Notis 'Urgent tag creates this structure, Crisis tag creates that structure.' Each tag can have custom templates.
Can I include templates with pre-filled content?
Not automatically, but you can tell Notis 'Create a folder and add a summary template doc with headers for Background, Goal, Deadline.' It will create the structure and pre-populate headers.
What if the urgent folder already exists?
Notis will skip creation or update the existing folder. You control this in your prompt.
