Make Asana workflow progress visible
When work changes stage, give your team a simple Discord update with the task and its new section.
Trigger
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
Action
Post message to channel
Sends a message to a specified discord channel (text, embeds, stickers, components, attachments); requires `send messages` permission and one of `content`, `embeds`, `sticker ids`, or `attachments`.
Why this helps
Progress can be hard to follow when section changes happen quietly in a project board.
- Surface meaningful task movement
- Give teammates shared progress context
- Cut down on manual check-ins
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 announce the task title, project, and new section in the chosen Discord channel.
- 4Pick Asana's Task Moved to Section trigger and choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real task moved to a section and review the post.
Questions about this workflow
Does this post every task edit?
No. This workflow starts when Asana reports that a task moved to a section.
Can the update include a task link?
Ask Notis to include the link when it is present 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.
