Break form follow-up into Asana subtasks
Convert multi-step requests into smaller actions that are easier to pick up and complete.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create subtask
Creates a new asana subtask under an existing parent task (`task gid`); `due on` and `due at` are mutually exclusive and cannot be set simultaneously.
Why this helps
Requests with several next steps often remain vague, making it unclear what should happen first.
- Make multi-step requests easier to act on.
- Keep related work grouped under a parent task.
- Capture follow-up actions while the request is fresh.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Byteforms and Asana once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis the intended outcome in plain language from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to identify a related parent task and create a subtask for each distinct follow-up action in the submission.
- 4Choose notis_webhook as the trigger and configure Byteforms to send the relevant submission to the Notis webhook URL.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real submission that identifies a parent task.
Questions about this workflow
What does this workflow need to create subtasks?
The submission must provide enough information for Notis to identify an existing parent task, and it should describe the follow-up actions to create.
Does it create a parent task too?
No. This action creates subtasks under an existing Asana task.
