Keep new company findings beside the Asana work
Put fresh research where the team is already working, with a short comment that explains what changed.
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
New company insights can sit in a separate research thread while the Asana task still reflects an outdated picture.
- Surface new findings in the task activity feed.
- Give task owners an update without asking them to revisit research.
- Preserve a concise explanation of why the next step may change.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bigpicture io and Asana once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to comment on the relevant Asana task with a concise summary of new Bigpicture findings and their implications for follow-up.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real finding and confirm it appears on the intended task.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow identify the right task?
Include enough context in the webhook request for Notis to identify the intended task. The prompt can instruct Notis how to use that context.
Will this replace the original task description?
This workflow adds a comment to the task, so the update appears in its activity feed.
