Make cross-tool blockers explicit
A waiting status is more useful when the blocker is clear. Turn a relevant Asana move into a ClickUp dependency when both tasks can be identified.
Trigger
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
Action
Add dependency
Adds a 'waiting on' or 'blocking' dependency to a task, requiring either `depends on` (task becomes waiting on) or `dependency of` (task becomes blocking), but not both; `team id` is required if `custom task ids` is true.
Why this helps
Teams can lose time chasing work that is blocked without a visible relationship to its dependency.
- Make a known blocker explicit in ClickUp
- Help collaborators see why work is waiting
- Reduce manual dependency updates
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and ClickUp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3In one instruction, specify the relevant waiting section, how to identify both ClickUp tasks, and which task depends on the other.
- 4Pick Asana's Task Moved to Section trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real blocked task and verify the dependency direction in ClickUp.
Questions about this workflow
Will this infer what is blocking a task?
No. A blocker must be available in the event context or supplied in your instruction or source data. If it cannot be identified reliably, the dependency should not be created.
Can one dependency be both waiting on and blocking?
The ClickUp action requires one direction per dependency: either the task depends on another or it is a dependency of another.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Asana to Clickup. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Asana triggers
Clickup actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Add dependency
Adds a 'waiting on' or 'blocking' dependency to a task, requiring either `depends on` (task becomes waiting on) or `dependency of` (task becomes blocking), but not both; `team id` is required if `custom task ids` is true.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Add guest to folder
Adds a guest to a folder with specified permissions; requires a clickup enterprise plan.
Attachment Added to Task
Triggers when an attachment is added to a task.
Add guest to list
Shares a clickup list with an existing guest user, granting them specified permissions; requires the workspace to be on the clickup enterprise plan.
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
Add guest to task
Assigns a guest to a task with specified permissions; requires clickup enterprise plan, and `team id` if `custom task ids` is true.
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Add tags from time entries
Associates a list of specified tags with one or more time entries within a given team (workspace).
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
Add tag to task
Adds an existing tag to a specified task; team id is required if custom task ids is true.
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.
Add task link
Links two existing and accessible clickup tasks, identified by `task id` (source) and `links to` (target).
Task Updated
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
Add task to list
Adds an existing task to an additional clickup list; the "tasks in multiple lists" clickapp must be enabled in the workspace for this.
