Create Asana projects from qualified WhatsApp briefs
When a WhatsApp conversation delivers a complete project brief, Notis creates the Asana project so momentum is not lost between agreement and setup.
Trigger
New Message Received
Triggered in real time when your WhatsApp Business number receives an inbound message from a customer (text, media, location, or contact). Delivered via the Cloud API webhook.
Action
Create a project
Creates a new asana project, requiring either a `workspace` or `team` gid for association, and returns the full project details.
Why this helps
A confirmed project can sit idle because creating its workspace feels like a separate administrative job.
- Shortens the gap between agreement and execution
- Avoids retyping the project brief
- Creates a visible home for new work
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp and Asana to Notis in the portal.
- 2Write one plain-language instruction defining when a WhatsApp brief is complete enough to create an Asana project.
- 3Select New Message Received as the trigger and choose a channel for reports.
- 4Test with a realistic project brief.
Questions about this workflow
Will a short inquiry create a project?
Not if your prompt requires specific signs of a qualified and complete brief before creation.
Can the project name come from the conversation?
Yes. Notis can interpret the conversation and use its context when creating the project.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Whatsapp to Asana. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Whatsapp triggers
Asana actions
Message Status Updated
Triggers when a WhatsApp message status changes. IMPORTANT LIMITATION: WhatsApp Cloud API does not provide a native polling endpoint for message status. Status updates are ONLY delivered via webhooks in real-time. This trigger cannot directly poll the WhatsApp API for status updates. This trigger will return empty results as WhatsApp does not support this operation. To track message status updates, you must: 1. Set up a webhook endpoint to receive status notifications from WhatsApp 2. Store the webhook data in your own database 3. Use a different mechanism to query your stored webhook data For more information, see: - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/webhooks
