Link Asana Documents to Related Calendar Events
A design file is attached to an Asana task. Notis searches your calendar for events related to that project or task and surfaces them, so you know which calendar event the document relates to.
Trigger
Attachment Added to Task
Triggers when an attachment is added to a task.
Action
Find event
Finds events in a specified google calendar using text query, time ranges (event start/end, last modification), and event types; ensure `timemin` is not chronologically after `timemax` if both are provided.
Why this helps
A document gets attached to a task, but you have no idea which of your upcoming meetings it relates to. You prepare for the wrong meeting or miss critical context.
- Connect task documents to the calendar events they relate to
- Prepare more effectively by knowing which meeting a document supports
- Reduce the mental load of context-switching between documents and meetings
- Automate context discovery across Asana and Google Calendar
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect both integrations to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When a document is attached to an Asana task, search my calendar for related events (by project name or date range).'
- 3Specify which Asana projects to monitor.
- 4Define how to search (by task title, project name, or date proximity).
- 5Test by attaching a document and verifying the related calendar events are found and reported.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know what 'related' means?
You tell it. Use a task title match, a specific project name, a date range, or a combination.
What if no events are found?
Notis reports back that no related events were found, helping you identify missing calendar coverage.
Can I automatically add the document link to the calendar event?
Yes. Tell Notis to update the found event with a note or link to the Asana task and its attachment.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Asana to Google Calendar. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Clear Calendar

Create Event

Tag Added to Task
Triggers when a tag is added to a task. Note: Asana's event structure is inverted for tag events — the resource is the task and the parent is the tag. So parent.gid gives the tag GID.
Delete event
Deletes a specified event by `event id` from a google calendar (`calendar id`); this action is idempotent and raises a 404 error if the event is not found.
Task Updated
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
