Give service requests a place in the team's work queue
Route requests from a Backendless custom API service into Asana when they require a person to take action.
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
Requests handled by custom services can be easy to miss when they need work beyond the API response.
- Capture requests that need human action
- Carry request context into the work queue
- Make follow-up easier to track
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.
- 3Describe which service requests need a task and what useful request context to include.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real service request that represents team work.
Questions about this workflow
Will every API request create a task?
Set the instruction around requests that need human follow-up. Notis can only distinguish them using the payload or Backendless data available.
What if the request lacks an Asana project?
Asana task creation requires a workspace, parent, or project association. Include enough context for the intended association.
