Keep BotPenguin context with the Asana task

Put the customer conversation beside the work it explains, where the team can find it later.

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 may capture the action but leave teammates without the customer context needed to make a good decision.

  • Keep relevant customer context alongside the task activity.
  • Help teammates understand why a follow-up matters.
  • Avoid searching a separate chatbot inbox for background.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect BotPenguin and Asana once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for adding conversation context.
  • 3Tell Notis in one instruction to add the submitted conversation context as a comment on the specified Asana task.
  • 4Choose the notis_webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test by sending one real conversation excerpt and the corresponding Asana task reference.

Questions about this workflow

Does this create a new Asana task?

No. This workflow adds a comment to an existing task, so provide the task reference along with the conversation context.

Will the workflow know which task to update?

Only if the request or instruction provides enough information to identify the task. Notis cannot determine an unprovided task reference.
