Daily Log of Active & In-Progress Tasks
What was actually worked on today? Notis logs all in-progress Asana tasks to your daily sheet every morning—a time-series record of your work focus.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Append Values to Spreadsheet
Tool to append values to a spreadsheet. use when you need to add new data to the end of an existing table in a google sheet.
Why this helps
Founders can't track what they actually worked on without manual notes. End of week, no data on where effort went.
- Daily snapshot of active tasks automatically logged
- Track work patterns and effort distribution over time
- Identify bottlenecks by which tasks stay active longest
- Data for retrospectives and productivity analysis
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Google Sheets to Notis.
- 2Create a new automation: 'Every morning at 9am, append a row to my daily task log sheet. Include all in-progress tasks from my Asana project, their assignee, status, and priority.'
- 3Specify the Asana project and the Sheets sheet for your log.
- 4Tell Notis which task statuses count as 'active' (in progress, in review, pending, etc.).
- 5Select a recurring schedule (e.g., 'Every weekday at 9am').
- 6Pick a notification channel.
- 7Test manually—a new row with today's active tasks should appear in your log.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create separate rows for each task or one row per day?
You choose. One row with a list of active tasks per day, or one row per task per day. Different views suit different needs.
Can I see which tasks stayed active longest?
Yes. Over time, you'll have rows for each day showing which tasks appeared repeatedly. Easy to spot bottlenecks.
Can I include completed tasks in the log?
Tell Notis which statuses to capture. Log only in-progress, or include completed-today as well for a full view.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Asana to Google Sheets. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Asana triggers
Google Sheets actions

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.

Task Updated
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
Batch Update Values by Data Filter
Tool to update values in ranges matching data filters. use when you need to update specific data in a google sheet based on criteria rather than fixed cell ranges.
