Weekly Asana status refresh in Linear
By Friday afternoon, work has shifted across projects, statuses have changed, and some updates slipped through the cracks. Run a weekly refresh that catches all Asana changes and syncs them to Linear, so your week closes with accurate data.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Update issue
Update selected fields on an existing issue; each provided field is fully replaced.
Why this helps
Weekly reporting requires hunting for accurate status across tools. A task shows as 'Done' in Asana but 'In Progress' in Linear. This inconsistency wastes hours on manual cleanup and makes metrics unreliable.
- Ensure all statuses are accurate before weekly reviews or reports
- Catch inconsistencies that sneak in during the week
- Provide a safety net if real-time syncs miss updates
- Reduce manual data cleanup before reporting
- Build confidence in your metrics and burndown charts
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Linear to Notis.
- 2Create an automation and tell Notis: 'Every Friday at 4 PM, sync all task statuses and updates from Asana to their matching Linear issues. Update status, description, and priority.'
- 3Select 'Scheduled/Weekly' as your trigger type and choose Friday as the day.
- 4Set the time to run before your review meeting.
- 5Test by updating an Asana task and waiting for the weekly sync to confirm the change in Linear.
Questions about this workflow
Can I run this more or less frequently?

What fields get updated in Linear?
By default, status, description, and assignee. Tell Notis which fields matter for your team.
