Make Asana handoffs easier to follow
When work moves to a new section, open a Discord thread where teammates can coordinate the next step.
Trigger
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
Action
Create new thread in channel
Creates a new thread in a text or announcement discord channel; requires a 'name' and optionally other details (e.g., 'auto archive duration', an initial 'message') in the request body.
Why this helps
A task's next owner or next action can be unclear when work moves between stages without a shared handoff.
- Give stage transitions a place for follow-up
- Make handoffs visible to collaborators
- Keep task discussion organized
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Discordbot once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to create a thread for the moved task in the chosen Discord channel, including the new section and available task context.
- 4Pick Asana's Task Moved to Section trigger and choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real section move and review the thread.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a thread for every task update?
No. It runs when Asana reports a task moved to a section.
Can Notis mention a handoff owner?
Ask it to include ownership details when those details are available in the event data.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Asana to Discordbot. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Asana triggers
Discordbot actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Add recipient to group channel
Adds a user to a discord group direct message (dm) channel.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Update guild member information
Adds a user (who is not already a member) to a guild using their `access token` (which must have `guilds.join` scope), optionally setting nickname, roles, mute/deaf status, or flags.
Attachment Added to Task
Triggers when an attachment is added to a task.
Assign role to guild member
Assigns a role to a guild member, provided the bot has 'manage roles' permission in the guild and the role to be assigned is hierarchically lower than the bot's highest role.
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
Add reaction to message
Adds an emoji reaction from the authenticated user/bot to a specific message in a discord channel; does not return information about existing reactions.
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Add or update thread member
Adds a user to a specific, unarchived thread; the user must have access to the thread's parent channel, and for private threads, the bot must already be a member.
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
Modify guild ban settings
Permanently bans a user from a discord guild, optionally deleting their recent messages (specify deletion period in seconds or days, not both).
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.
Bulk ban users in guild with message deletion option
Bans up to 200 users from a discord guild, optionally deleting their recent messages; the bot must have 'ban members' permission in the guild, and this action is irreversible.
Task Updated
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
Bulk delete messages in channel
Atomically bulk deletes messages in a discord channel for moderation or maintenance; deletion may not be instantaneous and messages are unrecoverable.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Asana and Discordbot, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
