Auto-Grant GitHub Team Permissions from Asana Project Tasks
You create a new project task in Asana and assign the team, but they need GitHub project permissions manually. Notis grants access automatically.
Trigger
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Action
Add or update team project permissions
Grants or updates a team's permissions ('read', 'write', or 'admin') for a specific project, which must exist within the specified organization and be linked to it.
Why this helps
New project tasks in Asana don't automatically grant team permissions in GitHub, slowing project setup and creating access confusion.
- Teams get GitHub project access immediately when new projects launch
- Eliminates manual permission grants and follow-up admin work
- Speeds up project initialization
- Reduces confusion about who has access to what
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and GitHub to Notis.
- 2Create an automation with the prompt: 'When a new task is created in my projects Asana project, grant the assigned team write permissions on the corresponding GitHub project.'
- 3Set your notification channel and save.
- 4Test by creating a project task in Asana and verifying the team has GitHub project permissions.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis map Asana teams to GitHub teams?
Notis looks for name matches or uses your custom mapping. Include team names in your automation prompt, e.g., 'Engineering team in Asana = engineering-team in GitHub.'
What if the team doesn't exist in GitHub yet?
Notis will notify you. You can ask Notis to create the GitHub team or wait for manual setup.
Can I set different permission levels?
Yes. Tell Notis which permission level each team should get (read, write, or admin).

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.
