Reconnect changing task lists to indexed decisions

When a list shifts, search for the decisions and documents that may explain the new direction.

Trigger

Task List Changed

A task list's title or contents change.

Action

Query Index

Searches an Elasticsearch index for documents.

Why this helps

A changing list can hide why work moved, forcing you to reconstruct context from scattered records.

  • Search when a monitored list's title or content changes.
  • Use current list information to find related indexed records.
  • Bring decision context into the run report.

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 documents and decisions relevant to the changed list.
  • 4Pick Task List Changed for the list you want to monitor and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real list change and review the returned records.

Questions about this workflow

What list changes can trigger a search?

The trigger monitors a specific task list and fires when its title or content updates.

Can it detect which decision caused the list change?

The search can find related indexed records, but the trigger does not identify a cause. That depends on the searchable data and results.
