Give each Census research cycle a project home
Start a defined analysis cycle with its scope captured in an Asana project your team can use.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create a project
Creates a new asana project, requiring either a `workspace` or `team` gid for association, and returns the full project details.
Why this helps
Recurring analysis work can start without a clear project space, leaving scope and findings scattered.
- Create a distinct home for each planned analysis cycle.
- Capture the requested geography and measures in the project description.
- Keep recurring research organized by period or topic.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Census bureau and Asana once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3In one instruction, define when a new cycle warrants a project and what Census scope the project should describe.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real cycle and confirm the project is created in the intended workspace or team.
Questions about this workflow
What is needed to create the project?
Asana requires a workspace or team association. Your instruction must identify an accessible workspace or team for the new project.
Will it avoid duplicate projects?
Do not assume duplicate detection. Specify how to identify an existing cycle or have the workflow report the proposed project for review before creating it.
