Route tagged Asana tasks into Bitbucket
Use an Asana tag to signal that a task needs a tracked engineering issue.
Trigger
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.
Action
Create an issue
Creates a new issue in a bitbucket repository, setting the authenticated user as reporter; ensures assignee (if provided) has repository access, and that any specified milestone, version, or component ids exist.
Why this helps
Important engineering requests can sit in a project without a matching issue or a clear next step.
- Give selected tagged tasks a Bitbucket tracking record.
- Create a repeatable path for engineering intake.
- Keep the source task as context for the issue.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Bitbucket once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3Ask Notis to create a Bitbucket issue when a named tag is added to an Asana task, using the task details as the issue context.
- 4Pick the Asana Tag Added to Task trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test by adding the tag to one real task and checking the issue.
Questions about this workflow
How is the tag identified in this event?
For Asana tag events, the resource is the task and the parent is the tag, so parent.gid gives the tag GID.
Can the issue be assigned to someone?
You can ask Notis to set an assignee when creating it. The assignee needs repository access.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Asana to Bitbucket. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Asana triggers
Bitbucket actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create a branch
Creates a new branch in a bitbucket repository from a target commit hash; the branch name must be unique, adhere to bitbucket's naming conventions, and not include the 'refs/heads/' prefix.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create an issue
Creates a new issue in a bitbucket repository, setting the authenticated user as reporter; ensures assignee (if provided) has repository access, and that any specified milestone, version, or component ids exist.
Attachment Added to Task
Triggers when an attachment is added to a task.
Create an issue comment
Adds a new comment with markdown support to an existing bitbucket issue.
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
Create a pull request
Creates a new pull request in a specified bitbucket repository, ensuring the source branch exists and is distinct from the (optional) destination branch.
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Create repository
Creates a new bitbucket 'git' repository in a specified workspace, defaulting to the workspace's oldest project if `project key` is not provided.
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
Create snippet comment
Posts a new top-level comment or a threaded reply to an existing comment on a specified bitbucket snippet.
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.
Delete issue
Permanently deletes a specific issue, identified by its `issue id`, from the repository specified by `repo slug` within the given `workspace`.
Task Updated
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
Delete repository
Permanently deletes a specified bitbucket repository; this action is irreversible and does not affect forks.
