Move Calendar Events as Task Ownership Changes

A task is reassigned from your team to another team. Notis automatically moves the calendar event to the other team's calendar so visibility is correct.

Trigger

Task Updated

Triggers when a task is updated in a project.

Action

Move Event

Moves an event to another calendar, i.e., changes an event's organizer.

Why this helps

Tasks get reassigned in Asana but the calendar events stay on your calendar. Other teams don't see the work, and you look like you're still doing it.

  • Ensure events stay on the right calendar as work is reassigned
  • Improve visibility for other teams by moving events to their calendars
  • Reduce confusion about who owns work
  • Automate calendar hygiene as task ownership changes

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect both integrations to Notis.
  • 2Create an automation: 'When a task is updated and reassigned to a different team member or project, move the calendar event to the relevant team calendar.'
  • 3Specify which Asana projects to monitor.
  • 4Define how to determine the target calendar (by task assignee, project, or tag).
  • 5Test by reassigning a task and verifying the event moves to the correct calendar.

Questions about this workflow

What if the target calendar doesn't exist?

Notis will report an error and ask you to create the calendar or update the automation to handle that case.

Can I move events to a client's shared calendar?

Yes, if you have access to that calendar in Google Calendar. Tell Notis the calendar name or ID.

Does the original person lose visibility to the event?

If the event is moved to a different calendar, yes. You can prevent this by having Notis add the original assignee as an attendee instead of moving the event.
