Make unusual course usage easier to investigate
Give a usage anomaly a clear next step and enough context for a useful review.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create task in asana with specific details
Creates a new asana task; requires 'workspace', 'parent', or 'projects' for association, and 'followers', 'projects', 'tags' are set only at creation.
Why this helps

- Capture a specific investigation request
- Preserve the signal that prompted review
- Keep analysis follow-up trackable
