Notify Jira Team of Asana Task Comments
Someone comments on an Asana task with an update, and Jira watchers immediately get an email notification. No one misses critical discussion.
Trigger
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
Action
Send Notification for Issue
Sends a customized email notification for a jira issue.
Why this helps
Important discussions happen in Asana but Jira watchers never know. By the time the dev team sees the comment, decisions are already made without them.
- Ensure no one misses important comments or decisions
- Reduce delay in team communication across tools
- Keep Jira watchers in the loop on Asana discussions
- Prevent decision delays by instantly notifying affected teams
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Jira to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When a comment is added to an Asana task, send an email notification to everyone watching the corresponding Jira issue.' Notis fetches the watcher list and sends notifications.
- 3Set trigger to 'New Comment on Task' and confirm your notification channel (should be Jira watchers via email).
- 4Leave a test comment on an Asana task and verify Jira watchers receive the notification email.
Questions about this workflow
Will this spam people with duplicate notifications?
Notis is smart about it. It sends one consolidated email per event. If someone has both Asana and Jira notifications on, they'll get one email, not two.
Can I customize the email subject or content?
Yes. Refine your prompt: 'Include the comment text and a link to both the Asana and Jira tasks.' Notis formats the notification accordingly.
What if no one is watching the Jira issue?
Notis won't send notifications if there are no watchers. You can set a fallback: 'Assign it to the issue owner instead' or 'Post to Slack.'
Can this work in reverse (Jira comments notify Asana followers)?
Yes. Set up a second automation for bidirectional notifications.
