Daily Deadline Check Automation
Your morning arrives with scattered notifications about deadlines. Instead, Notis runs a daily check at 8 AM, summarizes all overdue and due-today items from Asana, and creates a Notion page ready for your standup.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Query database
Queries a notion database for pages (rows), where rows are pages and columns are properties; ensure sort property names correspond to existing database properties.
Why this helps
Deadline surprises come from scattered notifications and forgetting to check your task list first thing. You miss deadlines or scramble at the last minute because you didn't see them coming.
- Start each day with a clear view of pressing deadlines
- Never miss a due-today item again
- Catch overdue tasks early and replan
- Use the Notion summary for standup meetings
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Notion to Notis in the portal.
- 2Tell Notis: 'Every morning at 8 AM, check Asana for tasks due today or overdue. Create a Notion page summarizing them.'
- 3Write the prompt: 'Pull all Asana tasks with due dates of today or in the past. Group by project. Include assignee, task name, and due date. Create a Notion page titled 'Daily Deadline Check - [DATE].'
- 4Select 'Daily Schedule (8 AM)' as the trigger and set your notification channel.
- 5Review the first report and adjust the time or filters if needed.
Questions about this workflow
Can I change the time the automation runs?
Yes, tell Notis your preferred time. You can run it before your standup, early morning, or whatever works for your routine.
What if there are no overdue tasks?
Notis still creates a page, confirming that you're caught up. This gives you the mental clarity that everything is on track.
Can I include only tasks assigned to me?
Yes, specify in your prompt: 'Only include tasks assigned to me' or 'Show tasks assigned to my team.'

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Asana to Notion. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Asana triggers
Notion actions
Attachment Added to Task
Triggers when an attachment is added to a task.
Add multiple content blocks (bulk, user-friendly)
Efficiently adds multiple standard content blocks to a notion page in a single api call with automatic markdown parsing. the 'content' field in notionrichtext blocks now automatically detects and parses markdown formatting including headers (# ## ###), bold (**text**), italic (*text*), strikethrough (~~text~~), inline code (`code`), links ([text](url)), and more. ideal for bulk content creation, ai agents, and replacing multiple individual add page content calls. supports automatic text formatting, content splitting, and up to 100 blocks per request.
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
Add content to Notion page
Deprecated: appends a single content block to a notion page or a parent block (must be page, toggle, to-do, bulleted/numbered list, callout, or quote); invoke repeatedly to add multiple blocks.
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Append complex blocks (advanced, full control)
Appends complex blocks with full notion block structure to a parent block or page. use for advanced scenarios requiring precise control: code blocks, tables, embeds, nested children within blocks, or when working with pre-built notion block objects. requires full notion api block schema - use add multiple page content for simpler content creation.
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
Archive Notion Page
Archives (moves to trash) or unarchives (restores from trash) a specified notion page.
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.
Create comment
Adds a comment to a notion page (via `parent page id`) or to an existing discussion thread (via `discussion id`); cannot create new discussion threads on specific blocks (inline comments).
Task Updated
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
Create Notion Database
Creates a new notion database as a subpage under a specified parent page with a defined properties schema; use this action exclusively for creating new databases.
Create Notion page
Creates a new empty page in a notion workspace.
Delete a block
Archives a notion block, page, or database using its id, which sets its 'archived' property to true (like moving to "trash" in the ui) and allows it to be restored later.
