Search for alternatives connected to a customer need and capture useful public evidence in an Asana task.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create task in asana with specific details
Creates a new asana task; requires 'workspace', 'parent', or 'projects' for association, and 'followers', 'projects', 'tags' are set only at creation.
Why this helps
Alternative research gets repeated when each conversation starts with a fresh search and no saved context.
- Capture alternatives surfaced in public sources
- Keep evidence linked to the customer need
- Create one clear follow-up for further assessment
