Keep dependency update follow-up on the team's list
Give dependency update builds a visible follow-up when the signal shows work remains.
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
Dependency changes can be lost among routine build runs without a clear task for review or repair.
- Create a trackable record for dependency update work.
- Preserve available package and branch context.
- Help keep review or repair work from falling through.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect CircleCI and Asana once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create an Asana follow-up task from dependency update signals that meet your criteria.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real dependency update signal and review the task.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis recognize a dependency update?
The webhook request or CircleCI data needs to identify the update, such as a branch or package reference. Specify the indicator in your instruction.
Can it decide whether a review is needed?
Provide a rule, such as a failed run or a package category. Notis should only create the task when the available data meets that rule.
