Bring Box task progress into Asana
When a Box task changes, the related project task can use the update. Notis can post the available status and detail changes as an Asana comment.
Trigger
Task State Changed
Triggers when a task's status or details change in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box task and fires when changes are detected in key fields like status, due date, message, or completion state.
Action
Create task comment
Adds a new text comment (story) to an existing asana task, appearing in its activity feed.
Why this helps
Progress on Box tasks can stay disconnected from the Asana project work that depends on it.
- Make Box task changes visible in Asana
- Keep dependent work informed
- Reduce cross app status checks

- 3Ask Notis to comment on the related Asana task when the monitored Box task changes and include the available status details.
- 4Pick the Box Task State Changed trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real Box task change and review the comment.
