Put cat research beside the feature task
Keep the lookup with the work it informs, so the next person does not have to retrace it.
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 is often separated from the task where the decision needs to happen.
- Place findings in the relevant task activity feed
- Preserve context for teammates reviewing the work
- Avoid pasting research across tools by hand
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Cats and Asana once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Describe in one instruction how to use a webhook request for the lookup and comment on the identified Asana task with a concise summary.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real task and lookup request.
