Create the branch at localization handoff
When work reaches your localization handoff section, Notis can prepare the Crowdin branch while the task is already in view.
Trigger
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
Action
Add Branch
Tool to create a new branch in a crowdin project. use when you need to isolate translations for a new feature or release.
Why this helps
A handoff section can signal that work is ready, but creating the matching localization branch still depends on someone remembering another step.
- Tie branch creation to an existing handoff moment.
- Avoid creating branches for work that is not ready.
- Keep localization preparation close to the Asana workflow.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Crowdin once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe the branch outcome in one instruction.
- 3Pick Asana's Task Moved to Section event as the trigger.
- 4Choose a report channel and test with one task moved into the localization handoff section.
Questions about this workflow
Can I specify which section means localization handoff?
Yes. Mention the section and relevant Asana project in the instruction you give Notis.
Does moving a task create a branch if one already exists?
Describe how Notis should handle existing branches. The automation can only act on the project and branch information available to it.
