Trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action

Why this helps
Location context recorded once can become stale while a task stays active for weeks or months.
- Refresh location information on active tasks
- Keep lookup results beside the work
- Show when a new check was made

- 1Connect Big data cloud and Asana once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis which active task and location references are available, and to comment the newly returned location details and check date on each relevant task.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real task and location reference.
Questions about this workflow
Will the workflow decide whether a location changed?
It can compare a current result with a prior result only if that prior result is available in the task or another source Notis can access.
What if there is no change?
Ask Notis to comment only when the returned details differ or when the lookup cannot resolve the location.
