Action

Creates a new file in google drive from provided text content (up to 10mb), supporting various formats including automatic conversion to google workspace types.
Why this helps
Neurodivergent founders often lose momentum switching between task managers and writing tools; creating a fresh doc before diving into work adds friction that kills focus.
- One less manual step before you start work
- All task notes live in their own persistent doc
- Reduces context-switching friction
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Asana and Google Drive accounts to Notis (one-time setup in the portal).
- 2Create a new automation: ask Notis 'Create a Google Doc whenever a new Asana task appears, named after the task title.' The prompt does all the heavy lifting.
- 3Select 'New Task Created' as the trigger (Notis handles the rest; no field mapping needed).
- 4Pick your preferred Notis channel for run notifications (Telegram, Slack, email, etc.)
- 5Test it by creating a new task in Asana and confirm the doc appears in Google Drive.
Questions about this workflow
Where does the document get created in Google Drive?
In your root Drive folder or a specific folder you name in the prompt (e.g., 'in my Project Docs folder'). Notis interprets natural language like that.
Can the doc be named after the task?
Yes, just include that in your plain-language instruction to Notis, e.g., 'Create a Google Doc with the task name in the title.'
What if I only want this for certain types of tasks?
You can refine your prompt: 'When a new task with the Design tag appears, create a doc...' Notis filters based on tags, projects, or assignees using plain language.
Can I pre-populate the document with task details?
Yes, tell Notis 'Include the task description and deadline at the top of the doc.' It will add those details automatically.
