Start a CircleCI pipeline from an Asana task
Capture a build request in Asana and let Notis start the corresponding CircleCI pipeline, so the work can move forward without a manual handoff.
Trigger
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Action
Trigger Pipeline
Tool to trigger a new pipeline for the specified project. use when you need to start a build on a branch or tag programmatically.
Why this helps
A task can sit idle while someone copies its build request into CircleCI and starts a pipeline by hand.
- Start requested builds from the place work is already tracked.
- Reduce copy and paste between task tracking and CI.
- Keep pipeline launches connected to the original request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and CircleCI once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Describe in one instruction how a new task should prompt a CircleCI pipeline run.
- 4Pick the Asana New Task Created trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real task that clearly requests a build or deployment.
Questions about this workflow
Does every new task start a pipeline?
The instruction should tell Notis which task details indicate a build request. Test with a representative task before relying on the automation.
What does the CircleCI action do?
It triggers a pipeline for the specified project. Provide the project and branch or tag information in your instruction or automation context as needed.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Asana to Circleci. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Asana triggers
Circleci actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Get Job Artifacts
Tool to retrieve artifacts produced by a specific job. use after a job has completed to list its output files.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Get Job Details
Tool to fetch details of a specific job within a project. use when you need status, timing, and executor information for a circleci job by its number.
Attachment Added to Task
Triggers when an attachment is added to a task.
Get Pipeline Config
Tool to fetch pipeline configuration by id. use when you need the source or compiled yaml of a specific pipeline.
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
Get Test Metadata
Tool to fetch test metadata for a specific job. use when you need detailed test results, run times, and failure messages after a job completes.
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Get User Information
Tool to retrieve information about a circleci user by their unique id. use when you need user profile details after obtaining the user id.
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
List Pipelines for Project
Tool to list all pipelines for a specific project. use when you need to retrieve the pipelines for a project (e.g., to display recent runs on a dashboard).
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.
List Self-Hosted Runners
Tool to list available self-hosted runners. use when you need to retrieve all configured self-hosted runners for your organization.
Task Updated
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
List Workflows by Pipeline ID
Tool to list all workflows associated with a specific pipeline. use when you need to fetch or paginate through workflows by pipeline id.
