Bring fresh research into the task already in progress
Refresh the context behind a task with BrowserAct, then add the findings to its Asana activity.
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
Useful research gets separated from the task it was meant to inform.
- Keep new findings beside the related task discussion.
- Refresh task context without creating duplicate work items.
- Make the source and observation available to task collaborators.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect BrowserAct and Asana once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Describe the research to run, how to identify the existing task, and what findings to comment.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real task and confirm the comment is relevant and attached to the right task.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a task?
No. It adds a comment to an existing Asana task identified by the instructions and available run context.
What if the related task cannot be identified?
Provide a reliable task identifier or lookup instruction. If the right task is unclear, the automation should report the ambiguity rather than comment on a guess.
