Make upcoming expirations actionable
Let a scheduled review create a clear follow-up under the task connected to a record nearing expiration.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create subtask
Creates a new asana subtask under an existing parent task (`task gid`); `due on` and `due at` are mutually exclusive and cannot be set simultaneously.
Why this helps
Important renewals and expirations can pass unnoticed when dates are buried in application data.
- Turn upcoming dates into trackable work
- Keep the reminder connected to the related task
- Reduce manual date reviews
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.
- 3Specify the expiry window using available dates and describe the follow-up subtask to create.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real record nearing expiry and its parent task reference.
Questions about this workflow
How far ahead will it look?
State the review window in your instruction. Notis needs an expiry date or equivalent value in Backendless data.
Can it set a subtask due date?
If Backendless provides a suitable date, Notis can use it. The Asana action cannot set both due on and due at simultaneously.
