Notis

Recheck Elasticsearch when task details move

When work changes, rerun the search that helps you understand it.

Trigger

Task Updated

An existing task is updated in a task list.

Action

Query Index

Searches an Elasticsearch index for documents.

Why this helps

A task's scope can change while its old research stays buried in another tool.

  • Revisit task context after a task in the selected list is modified.
  • Use updated task information to guide a new search.
  • Keep a fresh search result in the automation 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 selected Elasticsearch index for documents relevant to each updated task, using its current title and notes.
  • 4Pick Task Updated as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real task update and review the results.

Questions about this workflow

Does this run for every task list?

The trigger monitors a specific task list. Choose the list whose updated tasks should prompt a search.

Does it preserve previous search results?

The action returns results for the current search. The available events do not provide a search history or baseline.
