Notis

Keep the right people in the loop

When a conversation makes clear who needs updates, add those people to the task's follower list.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Add Followers to Task

Tool to add followers to a task in asana. use this tool when you need to add one or more users as followers to a specific task. this will notify them of updates to the task.

Why this helps

People who need to know about progress are often left out of task updates after a discussion.

  • Reduce missed updates to relevant teammates.
  • Keep people connected to the work they discussed.
  • Use transcript context to identify requested observers.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Castingwords and Asana once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Tell Notis to retrieve the transcript, identify people explicitly asked to follow updates, and add the specified Asana users as followers of the referenced task.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with a transcript and task where the requested users are valid Asana users.

Questions about this workflow

Will Notis add everyone mentioned in the transcript?

Specify that only people explicitly asked to follow the task should be added. A mention alone does not establish that someone wants task notifications.

What if a person cannot be matched to an Asana user?

The prompt can ask Notis to report the unmatched person rather than adding an uncertain user.
