Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action

Why this helps
Updates submitted through another system can remain disconnected from the task they affect.
- Keep progress notes with relevant work
- Reduce copying updates by hand
- Make task history easier to follow
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation for task updates.
- 3Tell Notis to add the submitted update as a comment to the Asana task identified in the webhook request.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and select a report channel.
- 5Send one real test update for a known task and review its activity.
Questions about this workflow
What information should the webhook include?
The request needs to provide the update and enough information for Notis to identify the intended Asana task.
Will a comment be added if the task is unclear?
Tell Notis to skip the comment and report the ambiguity when it cannot identify the task confidently.
