Make prerequisite work visible
Show what needs to happen first so a task does not quietly wait on an unseen dependency.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add Task Dependencies
Adds prerequisite task dependencies that must be completed first.
Why this helps
Teams can plan a task without noticing the prerequisite that is blocking it.
- Make supported prerequisites visible in Asana.
- Help teams understand why work is waiting.
- Keep dependency decisions grounded in company context.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Cody and Asana once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to use the incoming task reference, ask Cody for a documented prerequisite task, and add a dependency only when both tasks are clearly identified.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one known dependency and verify the relationship.
Questions about this workflow
Can this create a missing prerequisite task?
This action adds dependency relationships between tasks. Both task references should already exist and be clearly identified.
What happens when no prerequisite is documented?
