Keep a running Canva design digest on its Asana task
A scheduled comment can gather the latest specified design references where the team already tracks the work.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create task comment
Adds a new text comment (story) to an existing asana task, appearing in its activity feed.
Why this helps
Design changes and new asset links can be difficult to follow when every update arrives in a different place.
- Keep selected design references in one task history
- Make periodic changes easier to scan
- Reduce repeated link sharing
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canva and Asana once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis which Canva assets or changes to include and to add the digest to the specified Asana task as a comment.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real asset set and confirm the comment is concise and linked to the intended task.
Questions about this workflow
Can the digest include changes between runs?
If Canva provides the relevant update information, Notis can summarize it. If you need a baseline or change history that is not available, supply it in the prompt or source data.
Does this create a new Asana task each time?
No. It adds a comment to the specified existing task.
