Keep planned BART routes current in Asana
Let a recurring check add a concise note to the task when route or service details change.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create task comment
Adds a new text comment (story) to an existing asana task, appearing in its activity feed.
Why this helps
A route plan saved in a task can become stale while updates arrive elsewhere.
- Keep a route plan's task current with service context.
- Surface changes in the task activity feed.
- Avoid repeated manual checks and copy-paste updates.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bart and Asana once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one plain-language instruction, ask Notis to check the specified BART route and comment on its existing Asana task only when returned service information warrants an update.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real route check and the existing task.

What information do I need to provide?
