Get Your Daily Asana Task Digest in Slack
Every morning at 9 AM, Slack posts a summary of yesterday's Asana activity. Your team starts the day informed, without hunting for new work.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Post message to channel
Deprecated: posts a message to a slack channel, direct message, or private channel. use `send message` instead.
Why this helps
Neurodivergent teams need structured information intake. Checking Asana for new work is cognitively expensive; scrolling through changes is overwhelming. A daily digest reduces decision-making.
- Structured intake: One digest per day replaces constant checking, reducing cognitive load.
- Predictable rhythm: Team knows digest arrives at the same time, so they plan to review it.
- Catch-up friendly: New team members or those returning from leave can quickly see what's changed.
- Async-friendly: Digest format is perfect for async teams; no meeting required.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Slack to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'Send me a daily digest of Asana task activity at 9 AM' or your preferred time.
- 3Notis asks which Asana project(s) and Slack channel for the digest.
- 4Select 'Daily' or your preferred schedule as the trigger (this is a cron trigger, not an integration event).
- 5Test by running the digest manually; it should appear in Slack formatted as a summary.
Questions about this workflow
Can I customize what goes into the digest?
Yes. Tell Notis what to include: 'Only new high-priority tasks' or 'tasks completed and tasks created.' Notis filters automatically.
What time should the digest arrive?
Your choice. Common times: start of day (9 AM) or end of day (5 PM) depending on your workflow.
Can I get more frequent digests?
Sure. You can ask for hourly, twice-daily, or custom schedules. Weekly is also an option if daily feels like too much.
