Sync database fields to Asana custom fields
When you add a new field to Airtable to track additional data, automatically create the matching custom field in Asana. Keep both tools in sync without manual field creation.
Trigger
Base Schema Changed
Triggers when tables, fields, or views change in an Airtable base.
Action
Create Custom Field
Tool to create a new custom field in a workspace. use when you need to define a new field for tracking specific information within asana tasks.
Why this helps
New Airtable fields represent new data dimensions, but Asana doesn't know about them. You have to manually create matching custom fields or rely on workarounds, doubling setup time.
- Custom fields appear in Asana automatically when added to Airtable
- Both tools track the same data dimensions without duplication
- Reduce manual field setup and the errors it creates
- Keep your data model synchronized across platforms
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airtable and Asana to Notis in your portal
- 2Create an automation with this prompt: 'When a new field is added to my Airtable base, create a matching custom field in Asana with the same name and field type'
- 3Select 'Base Schema Changed' as your trigger and specify your Asana workspace
- 4Test by adding a new field to Airtable and confirming the custom field appears in Asana
Questions about this workflow
How will Notis match field types between Airtable and Asana?
Mention this in your prompt: 'Convert Airtable text to Asana text, single select to dropdown,' etc. Notis will do its best to find matching types.
What if Airtable and Asana don't have equivalent field types?
Your prompt can specify fallback types: 'If Airtable uses a type Asana doesn't have, use a text field instead.'
Should field options be copied too?
Yes, ask Notis to 'Include select options' in your prompt, and they'll be mirrored to the Asana custom field.
