Keep API failure context with its Asana task
When a Backendless service reports a failure, add the diagnostic context to the related Asana task.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create task comment
Adds a new text comment (story) to an existing asana task, appearing in its activity feed.
Why this helps
Failure details often end up separated from the task where someone is tracking the fix.
- Keep diagnostic notes beside the tracked work
- Preserve the incoming failure details in task activity
- Avoid manually copying error reports
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Backendless and Asana once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3Tell Notis to comment on the related Asana task with the failure details supplied by Backendless.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real failure report that identifies its related task.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which task to update?
The webhook or Backendless response needs to identify the related Asana task, for example with its task gid.
What if the failure report lacks diagnostic details?
Notis can only include available information. Add the needed details to the request or make them retrievable from Backendless.
