Give spoken blockers a clear next step in Asana
When a conversation surfaces a blocker, capture the specific follow-up needed to move work forward.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create task in asana with specific details
Creates a new asana task; requires 'workspace', 'parent', or 'projects' for association, and 'followers', 'projects', 'tags' are set only at creation.
Why this helps
Blockers discussed in calls can remain vague and unresolved after everyone moves on.
- Make concrete impediments easier to act on
- Keep the original issue context with its follow-up
- Avoid treating every concern as a confirmed risk
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AssemblyAI and Asana once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, with a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to create a task for each blocker or risk with a concrete follow-up stated in the transcript, and flag items that lack an actionable next step.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Send one transcript that includes a real blocker and review the task.
Questions about this workflow
Will it turn speculative concerns into assigned work?
The prompt can limit tasks to explicitly stated blockers or risks with a concrete follow-up and mark uncertainty for review.
What happens when no owner is mentioned?
The task can preserve the issue and indicate that an owner was not specified, rather than guessing.
