- 3Tell Notis to identify clear project blockers in new messages and create an Asana project status update with the issue and available project context.
- 4Pick the New Discord Message trigger for the relevant channel, then choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real blocker and confirm the right project can be identified.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis update any project automatically?
The message needs enough context to identify the relevant Asana project. Test with a real blocker before relying on the workflow.
Does this action change the project status field?
This action creates a project status update. It does not claim to change other project fields.
