Connect new task lists to existing plans

A new list may already have useful context in your indexed documents. Find it at setup time.

Trigger

New Task List Created

A new task list is created.

Action

Query Index

Searches an Elasticsearch index for documents.

Why this helps

Starting a list from scratch can duplicate planning that already exists in your records.

  • Search for existing plans when a new list is detected.
  • Use the list's available information to find related documents.
  • Reduce duplicate research during planning.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Tasks and Elasticsearch once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Tell Notis to search the chosen index for plans and documents related to each newly detected task list.
  • 4Pick New Task List Created as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real new list and review the results.

Questions about this workflow

Does the new-list trigger include all the tasks in the list?

The listed trigger says it detects newly created task lists. Availability of task contents is not specified, so this workflow should search using information the event provides.

Can this prevent duplicate plans automatically?

It can surface matching indexed plans for review. The available Elasticsearch actions do not create or update records.
