- Always timely, never missed or procrastinated
- Data-driven updates pulled from your tracking sheet
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets and Asana to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'Every [Monday/Friday/day] at [time], post a status update to [Asana project] using data from [sheet].' (Or portal: Automations > New, choose 'Cron Trigger,' pick weekly schedule.)
- 3Describe the status format: 'Pull metrics from columns A and B, summarize progress, list blockers from column C.'
- 4Specify the project: 'Post to the Q4 Planning project status.'
- 5Test by manually triggering a status post and reviewing the format in Asana.
Questions about this workflow
Can I use a different schedule (daily, every other week)?
Yes, specify it in your automation: 'Daily at 9am', 'Every Friday at 5pm', 'Bi-weekly on Mondays,' etc.
Can I add custom text to the status along with the data?
Yes, describe it: 'Start with This week we completed [data], then add Blockers: [list from sheet], then add Next week: [priorities].'
What if my data is incomplete on the scheduled day?
Notis posts based on whatever data is there. If you want to skip posting if data is missing, mention it: 'Only post if columns A and B are filled.'
