Create Decision Log from Asana Tags

Decisions get scattered across Asana comments, Slack messages, and email. When you tag a task with 'decision', Notis creates a Notion page that captures the decision, why it mattered, and who was involved, so future-you can reference it anytime.

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 Notion page

Creates a new empty page in a notion workspace.

Why this helps

You make a decision in an Asana comment, but months later you can't remember why you chose that direction. Lack of a decision trail leads to re-deciding the same thing and wasting energy.

  • Preserve reasoning behind decisions for future reference
  • Eliminate re-deciding the same questions repeatedly
  • Create a searchable decision archive by topic
  • Help new team members understand past choices

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Asana and Notion to Notis via the portal.
  • 2Ask Notis: 'When I tag an Asana task with 'decision', create a Notion page documenting the decision and its reasoning.'
  • 3Write the prompt: 'Create a page titled with the decision name. Include sections for: What was decided, Why (reasoning), Who was involved, Alternatives considered, and Implementation next steps.'
  • 4Select 'Tag Added to Task' as the trigger and set your notification channel.
  • 5Test by tagging a task with 'decision' and verifying the Notion page template appears.

Questions about this workflow

Can I use multiple trigger tags, like 'decision' and 'major-decision'?

Yes, tell Notis which tags should create decision pages. You can even use different templates for each tag.

What if the decision details are in the task description or comments?

Tell Notis to pull context from the Asana task description and top comments, and include it in the decision page.

Can I set up a 'Decisions by Quarter' folder structure in Notion?

Yes, ask Notis to organize decision pages by date range or project. It will file them in the correct folder automatically.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Asana to Notion. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Asana triggers

Notion actions

Recurring trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

TriggerScheduled

Add multiple content blocks (bulk, user-friendly)

Efficiently adds multiple standard content blocks to a notion page in a single api call with automatic markdown parsing. the 'content' field in notionrichtext blocks now automatically detects and parses markdown formatting including headers (# ## ###), bold (**text**), italic (*text*), strikethrough (~~text~~), inline code (`code`), links ([text](url)), and more. ideal for bulk content creation, ai agents, and replacing multiple individual add page content calls. supports automatic text formatting, content splitting, and up to 100 blocks per request.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

TriggerInstant

Add single content block to Notion page (Deprecated)

DEPRECATED: Use 'add_multiple_page_content' for better performance. Adds a single content block to a Notion page/block. CRITICAL: Notion API enforces a HARD LIMIT of 2000 characters per text.content field. Content exceeding 2000 chars is AUTOMATICALLY SPLIT into multiple sequential blocks. REQUIRED 'content' field for text blocks: paragraph, heading_1-3, callout, to_do, toggle, quote, list items. Parent blocks MUST be: Page, Toggle, To-do, Bulleted/Numbered List Item, Callout, or Quote. Common errors: - "content.length should be ≤ 2000": Text exceeds API limit (should be auto-handled) - "Content is required for paragraph blocks": Missing 'content' field for text blocks - "object_not_found": Invalid parent_block_id or no integration access For bulk operations, use 'add_multiple_page_content' instead.

Attachment Added to Task

Triggers when an attachment is added to a task.

Append raw Notion blocks (advanced API)

DEPRECATED: Use NOTION_APPEND_TEXT_BLOCKS, NOTION_APPEND_TASK_BLOCKS, NOTION_APPEND_CODE_BLOCKS, NOTION_APPEND_MEDIA_BLOCKS, NOTION_APPEND_LAYOUT_BLOCKS, or NOTION_APPEND_TABLE_BLOCKS instead. Appends raw Notion API blocks to parent. Text limited to 2000 chars per text.content field. Each block MUST have 'object':'block' and 'type'. Use rich_text arrays for text blocks.
