Auto-Move Ready Tasks to Jira Sprint
Your PM marks a task 'Ready' in Asana, and it instantly lands in the active Jira sprint. The dev team sees it's ready to pick up without hunting for it.
Trigger
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
Action
Move Issues to Sprint
Moves one or more jira issues to a specified active sprint.
Why this helps
Tasks are marked ready in Asana but sit in the Jira backlog. Devs don't see them, sprint forecasting is inaccurate, and work stalls.
- Keep the active sprint populated with ready work automatically
- Reduce manual sprint board management
- Ensure devs always see what's ready to start
- Improve sprint forecasting with dynamic backlog updates
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect both integrations to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When a task moves to Ready in Asana, add the Jira issue to the active/current sprint.' Notis fetches the active sprint and adds the issue.
- 3Set trigger to 'Task Moved to Section', filter for 'Ready', and select your notification channel.
- 4Move an Asana task to Ready and confirm the Jira issue appears in the active sprint.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which sprint is active?
Notis queries Jira for the active/current sprint on the board. If multiple sprints are active, you can specify which one in your prompt.
What if there's no active sprint?
Notis can be set to add to the next planned sprint instead, or notify you if there's no active sprint. You control the fallback.
Can I exclude certain types of tasks from this automation?
Yes. Refine your prompt: 'Only move dev-tagged tasks to the sprint' or 'Skip if marked as dependency.' Notis applies filters.
What if I move a task back to a different section—does it leave the sprint?
You can set that behavior: 'Remove from sprint if moved to Backlog' or 'Keep in sprint regardless.' You choose.
