Get Reminded in Slack When Asana Task Comments Land
Someone comments on your Asana task. Slack reminds you to review and respond. No comment goes unread.
Trigger
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
Action
Create a reminder
Creates a slack reminder with specified text and time; time accepts unix timestamps, seconds from now, or natural language (e.g., 'in 15 minutes', 'every thursday at 2pm').
Why this helps
Feedback gets stuck in Asana comments. When people leave feedback, the task owner may not see it for hours or days. Feedback loops break, and decisions get delayed.
- Timely feedback: Reminders surface comments when they arrive, ensuring quick responses.
- Faster loops: With reminders, feedback cycles close faster, accelerating decisions.
- No comments missed: Reminders ensure you see every comment, preventing important feedback from being lost.
- Customizable timing: Set reminders to fire immediately or batch them hourly.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Slack to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'Remind me in Slack when someone comments on [Task/Project]' or 'remind me in 30 minutes.'
- 3Notis asks which tasks or projects and reminder timing.
- 4Select 'New Comment on Task' as your trigger.
- 5Test by commenting on an Asana task; a Slack reminder should appear at your specified time.
Questions about this workflow
Can I get reminders only for comments from certain people?
Yes. Tell Notis: 'Remind me of comments from the product manager' or 'comments from team leads.' Notis filters by author.
What if I get multiple comments? Do I get multiple reminders?
By default, Notis batches comments from the same task into one reminder per period. You can configure this to be per-comment if you prefer.
Does the reminder include the comment text?
Yes. Notis includes a preview of the comment so you can see what's being discussed before clicking through.
