Make a Discord reaction a clear follow-up
Let a chosen reaction act as a lightweight signal to capture work in Asana, with the original message context included.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction (emoji) is added to a message in a monitored Discord channel.
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
A reaction can signal intent, but that signal is easy to forget when it stays only in chat.
- Capture reaction-marked work in Asana
- Keep the related message context nearby
- Use a simple signal for follow-up
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Discord and Asana once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis which reaction should signal follow-up and to create an Asana task with the reacted-to message context.
- 4Pick the Message Reaction Added trigger for a monitored channel, then choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real reaction and check that unrelated reactions do not create tasks.
Questions about this workflow
Can I choose which emoji means follow-up?
State the intended emoji in the automation instruction and test it against a real reaction event.
Will the task include the message that received the reaction?
Ask Notis to include the reacted-to message context that the trigger makes available.
