Give location-based tasks better context
Send coordinates with a task reference and add the resulting location details to the task conversation.
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
A task with coordinates but no human-readable place name can leave teammates guessing where to act.
- Translate coordinates into readable place context
- Keep location details with the task discussion
- Reduce back-and-forth to identify a place
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Big data cloud and Asana once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to reverse geocode coordinates from each request and comment the returned location details on the referenced Asana task.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real task and coordinate pair.
Questions about this workflow
Does the request need to identify an Asana task?
Yes. Include a task reference that Notis can use to add the comment to the intended task.
What if the coordinates do not resolve?
Ask Notis to report that no usable location was returned instead of inventing an address.
