Log Task Completions as Records in Airtable
You mark tasks Done in Asana, but your Airtable has no record of what you actually shipped. Notis creates a completion log so you can see what left your plate each day.
Trigger
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
Action
Create a record
Creates a new record in a specified airtable table; field values must conform to the table's column types.
Why this helps
You finish work but have no easy way to see what you shipped this week or month—no record in your database, no sense of progress.
- See what you finished each day
- Build a completion track record
- Easy to report on progress
- Motivating to see done pile up
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Airtable to Notis (one-time portal setup).
- 2Tell Notis: 'When a task moves to Done in Asana, create a record in my Airtable completions table with the task name, the date completed, and any description.'
- 3Choose your notification channel.
- 4Select 'Task Moved to Section' and specify 'Done' as your trigger.
- 5Test by marking a task Done in Asana and confirming a completion record appears in Airtable.
Questions about this workflow
Does this only trigger for the Done section?
Yes, this automation is specifically for Done. You can create similar automations for other sections if you want.
What if I move a task back from Done?
The completion record stays in Airtable (it's a historical record). Moving it back in Asana doesn't delete the completion log.
Can I track how long tasks took?
If you log when a task was created, Notis can calculate days-to-completion and include it in the record.
What about recurring tasks that move to Done multiple times?
Each move to Done creates a new completion record, so you see every cycle.
