Sync Asana task changes to Linear issues
A task gets reassigned, a due date changes, or description gets clarified - but only in one tool. Notis catches every update in Asana and instantly syncs it to Linear so both tools stay current.
Trigger
Task Updated
Fires when a task is updated in a project.
Action
Update issue
Update selected fields on an existing issue; each provided field is fully replaced.
Why this helps
Asynchronous tool updates breed confusion. A developer sees an old due date in Linear because the project manager updated it in Asana but forgot to mirror it. Work gets delayed or planned incorrectly.
- Ensure both tools always show the current task details
- Eliminate stale data and outdated information
- Reduce the need to manually update tasks in two places
- Improve accuracy of due dates, assignees, and descriptions
- Keep your team working with current information
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Linear to Notis.
- 2Create an automation and tell Notis: 'When any task is updated in Asana, sync the changes to the matching Linear issue. Update the title, description, due date, and assignee.'
- 3Select 'Task Updated' as your trigger.
- 4Choose a channel for update confirmations.
- 5Test by editing an Asana task and verifying changes sync to Linear.
Questions about this workflow
What if I want to exclude certain fields from syncing?
Tell Notis which fields matter. For example, 'Only sync description and due date, ignore assignments'.
Does this work for custom fields in Asana?
Notis can sync most Asana fields. Some custom fields may need manual mapping, but standard fields like title, description, and due date sync automatically.
What if the Linear issue has local changes?
Notis prioritizes the Asana update as the source of truth. You can configure exceptions if needed.
How often does the sync check for updates?
Notis syncs when you update the task in Asana, typically within 1-2 seconds.
