Start Every Quarter Ready to Plan
Every January, April, July, and October, Notis creates a fresh Asana project with sections for OKRs, key initiatives, and progress tracking. You start each quarter with structure instead of a blank slate.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create a project
Creates a new asana project, requiring either a `workspace` or `team` gid for association, and returns the full project details.
Why this helps
Each quarter you start planning without a template. You spend time creating the project structure (Goals section, Key Results section, Initiatives section) instead of focusing on what actually matters: defining your strategy.
- Start each quarter with a pre-built planning structure instead of DIY setup
- Reduce planning overhead so you focus on strategy, not project management
- Create consistent quarterly rituals across your organization
- Use the same structure every quarter so team members know how to navigate it
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana to Notis (Google Calendar optional).
- 2Ask Notis: 'Every quarter (January, April, July, October), create a new Asana project for quarterly planning with sections for OKRs, Initiatives, Progress, and Retrospective.'
- 3Notis will set up the project structure and send you a notification when it's ready.
- 4Customize the project template in the first quarter (add your preferred sections, team assignments, due dates).
- 5In subsequent quarters, Notis will create the same structure automatically, and you just fill in your new goals.
Questions about this workflow
Can I change the start date of quarters or add custom sections?
Yes. Tell Notis your preferred quarter dates and exactly what sections you want in the project.
Will previous quarter projects be archived or deleted?
They'll stay in Asana for historical reference. You can ask Notis to archive them or keep them active.
Can multiple teams use this automation with their own quarterly projects?
Yes. Each team can have their own quarterly project created on the same schedule by the same automation.
