Define an event type for Asana stage changes
Keep workflow transition tracking organized by defining the event type when a task moves into a project section.
Trigger
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
Action
Create Amplitude Event Type
Create a new event type in amplitude. this action allows you to: - define a new event type with various properties - associate the event with a category - add metadata like description, tags, and owner key features: - creates trackable events in your amplitude project - supports full event type configuration
Why this helps
Teams may want to analyze stage changes but lack a consistent event definition in the Amplitude tracking plan.
- Define a reusable event type for workflow transitions
- Align event planning with real changes in Asana
- Reduce manual tracking plan maintenance
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Amplitude once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the workflow transition event.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create an Amplitude event type when a task moves to a section, using the known event name and metadata you provide.
- 4Pick the Asana Task Moved to Section trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real section move and verify the definition in Amplitude.
Questions about this workflow
Does creating the type record the transition itself?
No. This action defines an event type; it does not send an event. Use an event sending action if you also need to record transitions.
Can Notis decide the event category?
Supply the category or use available known context. The workflow should not assume an unstated taxonomy.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Asana to Amplitude. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Asana triggers
Amplitude actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Check Amplitude Cohort Status
Check the status of a cohort export request. this action allows you to: - poll the status of an in-progress cohort download request - determine if a cohort is ready for download
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create Amplitude Event Category
Create a new event category in amplitude. this action allows you to: - create a new event category to organize event types - validate category name before creation key features: - creates event categories for organizing events - returns success/failure status
Attachment Added to Task
Triggers when an attachment is added to a task.
Create Amplitude Event Type
Create a new event type in amplitude. this action allows you to: - define a new event type with various properties - associate the event with a category - add metadata like description, tags, and owner key features: - creates trackable events in your amplitude project - supports full event type configuration
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
Delete Amplitude Event Category
Delete an event category from amplitude. this action allows you to: - delete an existing event category - remove category organization from events key features: - permanently removes event categories - returns success/failure status
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Delete Amplitude Event Type
Delete an event type from amplitude. this action allows you to: - remove an event type from your project - mark live events as deleted - remove planned events from the tracking plan key features: - different behavior based on event status (live, planned, etc.) - returns success/failure status
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
Request Amplitude Cohort
Get a single cohort by id and initiate download. this action allows you to: - request a specific cohort from amplitude - optionally include user properties in the response - start the asynchronous download process key features: - supports filtering by specific user properties - returns a request id used for polling status and downloading - supports eu data residency
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.
Get Amplitude Event Categories
Get event categories from amplitude. this action allows you to: - get all event categories in your project - get a specific category by name
Task Updated
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
Get Amplitude Event Type
Get a specific event type from amplitude by name. this action allows you to: - retrieve detailed information about a single event type - get all properties and metadata for the event key features: - retrieves comprehensive event type details - returns metadata like category, description, and settings - supports lookup by exact event name
