Verify GitHub PR Merge Status on Asana Task Updates
You update an Asana task status to 'Done', but you haven't verified the PR merged. Notis checks automatically and alerts you if the PR is still pending.
Trigger
Task Updated
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
Action
Check if pull request merged
Checks if a specified github pull request has been merged, indicated by a 204 http status (merged) or 404 (not merged/found).
Why this helps
Task status in Asana claims work is done, but the linked GitHub PR might still be waiting for review or blocked.
- Prevents false 'done' signals when code hasn't actually shipped
- Provides real-time verification without manual checks
- Reduces risk of shipping incomplete work
- Keeps task status truthful and aligned with actual code status
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and GitHub to Notis.
- 2Create an automation with the prompt: 'When an Asana task is updated to Done or Completed, check if the linked GitHub PR has been merged.'
- 3Set your notification channel and save.
- 4Test by updating an Asana task and watching Notis verify the PR status.
Questions about this workflow
What if there are multiple PRs linked to one task?
Notis will check all of them and report back which are merged and which are still pending.
Can I auto-revert the task if the PR is not merged?
Yes. Tell Notis to 'move the task back to In Progress if the PR is not merged' to prevent false completion.
What if there's no linked PR?
Notis will let you know. You can ask Notis to prompt for a PR link if one is missing.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Asana to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Asana triggers
GitHub actions
Attachment Added to Task
Triggers when an attachment is added to a task.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
List repositories starred by the authenticated user
Deprecated: lists repositories starred by the authenticated user, including star creation timestamps; use 'list repositories starred by the authenticated user' instead.
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
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 email for auth user
Adds one or more email addresses (which will be initially unverified) to the authenticated user's github account; use this to associate new emails, noting an email verified for another account will error, while an existing email for the current user is accepted.
Task Updated
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
Add app access restrictions
Replaces github app access restrictions for an existing protected branch; requires a json array of app slugs in the request body, where apps must be installed and have 'contents' write permissions.
Add a repository collaborator
Adds a github user as a repository collaborator, or updates their permission if already a collaborator; `permission` applies to organization-owned repositories (personal ones default to 'push' and ignore this field), and an invitation may be created or permissions updated directly.
Add a repository to an app installation
Adds a repository to a github app installation, granting the app access; requires authenticated user to have admin rights for the repository and access to the installation.
