Automatic GitHub Issue Assignment from Asana Task Creation
Stop manually recreating tasks in GitHub. When you create a task in Asana, Notis instantly creates the issue and assigns your team, keeping work in sync without cognitive overhead.
Trigger
New Task Created
Fires when a new task is created in a project.
Action
Add assignees to an issue
Assign users to an issue.
Why this helps
Creating a task in Asana and then having to duplicate it in GitHub, finding the right assignee, and risk dropped context between the two tools.
- Eliminates manual task duplication between Asana and GitHub
- Ensures assignees are set immediately, reducing follow-up messages
- Keeps your team aware of work without requiring separate status updates
- Reduces cognitive load by removing the need to remember both systems
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Asana and GitHub accounts to Notis (one-time setup in the portal).
- 2In the Notis portal, create a new automation with the prompt: 'When a new task is created in Asana, create a GitHub issue and assign the same person.'
- 3Select 'New Task Created' as your trigger and choose Slack or email as your run channel.
- 4Test by creating a single Asana task and verify the issue and assignment appear in GitHub.
Questions about this workflow
Will this create a GitHub issue for every Asana task?
Yes, by default, every new task in Asana will create a GitHub issue. If you want to limit this to specific projects or task types, just tell Notis in your automation prompt, e.g., 'only for tasks tagged engineering'.
What if the assignee doesn't have a GitHub account?
Notis will either skip assignment or notify you, depending on your prompt. You can update the automation to assign a team or project lead instead.
Can I customize the GitHub issue title or description from Asana?
Yes. Notis reads the Asana task name and description and uses them to populate the GitHub issue. Your automation prompt controls the level of detail and format.
