Start implementation with a branch from an Asana update

Create a clean branch when a task reaches the point where coding should begin.

Trigger

Task Updated

Triggers when a task is updated in a project.

Action

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.

Why this helps

The gap between a task becoming actionable and an engineer creating its branch adds friction to starting work.

  • Make task changes a prompt to start implementation.
  • Use a consistent branch naming instruction.
  • Reduce repetitive setup before coding begins.

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 uniquely named Bitbucket branch when an update meets your stated condition, and identify the repository and target commit from available context.
  • 4Pick the Asana Task Updated trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real task update and confirm the commit and branch name are valid.

Questions about this workflow

What does branch creation require?

Can it respond to every task update?

The trigger is Task Updated. Describe the meaningful condition in your instruction so Notis can act on relevant updates.

Webhook trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

TriggerInstant

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.

ActionInstant

Attachment Added to Task

Triggers when an attachment is added to a task.

TriggerInstant

Create an issue comment

Adds a new comment with markdown support to an existing bitbucket issue.

ActionInstant

New Comment on Task

Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.

TriggerInstant

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.

ActionInstant

New Task Created

Triggers when a new task is created in a project.

TriggerInstant

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.

ActionInstant

Task Moved to Section

Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.

TriggerInstant

Create snippet comment

Posts a new top-level comment or a threaded reply to an existing comment on a specified bitbucket snippet.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerInstant

Delete issue

Permanently deletes a specific issue, identified by its `issue id`, from the repository specified by `repo slug` within the given `workspace`.

ActionInstant

Task Updated

Triggers when a task is updated in a project.

TriggerInstant

Delete repository

Permanently deletes a specified bitbucket repository; this action is irreversible and does not affect forks.
