Turn Asana Task Comments into a Decision Log
Every decision discussed in Asana comments now auto-saves to a Google Doc decision log, time-stamped and searchable. No more digging through threads to find why you chose something.
Trigger
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
Action
Create a File from Text
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 re-debate decisions because discussions get buried in task comments. Without a central record, the reasoning behind choices disappears into app clutter.
- Decisions are recorded, searchable, and retrievable
- No re-debating the same point twice
- Clear reasoning attached to every choice
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Google Drive to Notis (one-time setup).
- 2Create the automation: ask Notis 'When a comment is posted on an Asana task, add it to a Google Doc called Decision Log with the date, task name, and commenter.'
- 3Set the trigger to 'New Comment on Task'.
- 4Choose your notification channel.
- 5Test by commenting on an Asana task and verify the entry appears in your decision log.
Questions about this workflow
Will every comment be logged or just specific ones?
Every comment by default, but you can refine it: 'Log comments that contain the word decision' or 'Comments from specific teammates.' Notis filters via natural language.
Can I include the person who made the comment?
Yes, include that in your prompt: 'Record who commented and when.' Notis captures that metadata.
How is the comment formatted in the doc?
As a clean entry: date, task name, commenter, comment text. You can customize the format by telling Notis what you prefer.
What if someone deletes a comment in Asana?
Once logged to Drive, the entry stays there. Google Drive doesn't auto-delete based on Asana changes.
