Get Reminded in Slack When Asana Tasks Move Stages
Your task moves to Review. Slack reminds you to check it. No manual reminder creation, no forgotten handoffs, no coordination gaps.
Trigger
Task Moved to Section
Fires when a task is moved to a section in a project.
Action
Create a reminder
Create a reminder for a specified time.
Why this helps
Handoffs are where work dies for neurodivergent teams. When a task moves from In Progress to Review or QA, the person responsible often forgets to actually look at it. Asana tracks the status change, but nobody gets reminded to act on it.
- Handoff safety: A reminder fires the instant a task moves to a new section, ensuring someone actually reviews it.
- No manual reminders: Stop creating Slack reminders by hand. Notis creates them automatically based on Asana movement.
- Asynchronous workflow: Reminders are non-urgent by default; your team can batch-review at their own pace.
- Customizable timing: Notis can delay reminders (e.g., 'remind me in 2 hours') so reviews don't block the next stage.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Slack to Notis (one-time).
- 2Tell Notis: 'When a task moves to [Section Name], remind me to review it' (e.g., 'When a task moves to Review, remind me in 2 hours').
- 3Notis asks which Asana project and reminder timing.
- 4Pick the trigger as 'Task Moved to Section' and select your notification channel.
- 5Test by moving a sample task; a Slack reminder should appear at the time you specified.
Questions about this workflow
Can I set different reminders for different sections?
Yes. Create separate automations for each section. For example, 'When task moves to QA, remind in 4 hours' and 'When task moves to Review, remind in 2 hours.'
What if I want the reminder to go to a specific person?
Notis can direct reminders to the task assignee or a specific Slack user. Include that in your plain-language prompt, e.g., 'Remind the assignee when the task moves to Review.'
Will reminders pile up if multiple tasks move at once?
No. Notis creates one reminder per task movement. If 5 tasks move to Review simultaneously, you get 5 separate reminders (one per task), each trackable independently.
