Maintain Amplitude event definitions from Asana
When a task signals a tracking change, update the relevant event type metadata in Amplitude using the details you provide.
Trigger
Task Updated
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
Action
Update Amplitude Event Type
Update an existing event type in amplitude. this action allows you to: - change event type properties - update event name, category, metadata, and settings - modify display name for ingested events key features: - updates event type configuration - supports partial updates (only specified fields are changed)
Why this helps
Tracking definitions can become stale when the operational decision to change them is captured in a task.
- Apply known event definition changes from task context
- Reduce context switching when maintaining event metadata
- Keep event naming and metadata aligned with decisions captured in work
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 event definition it maintains.
- 3In one instruction, identify the existing Amplitude event type and the exact property changes to apply from available task details.
- 4Pick the Asana Task Updated trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real update and confirm the intended event type changed in Amplitude.
Questions about this workflow
Can this automatically infer the intended Amplitude event type?
Provide the event type name or other identifying context in the task and instruction. Notis should not guess when the target is ambiguous.
Does a task update always mean the event type should change?
Only use this trigger for tasks whose updates indicate a real tracking definition change, as described in your instruction.

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
