Sync Conditional Formats to Asana Custom Fields
Your sheet gets a new conditional format rule, and Asana gains a custom field to track it. Both systems evolve together.
Trigger
Conditional Format Rule Changed
Triggers when conditional formatting rules change in a Google Spreadsheet. Detects when rules are added, updated, or removed. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect changes between polls.
Action
Create Custom Field
Tool to create a new custom field in a workspace. use when you need to define a new field for tracking specific information within asana tasks.
Why this helps
Teams often visual-format data in sheets but don't create corresponding fields in Asana, leading to tracking misalignment across tools.
- Custom fields auto-create when you define conditional formats
- Both tools track the same data points
- Reduces manual field setup work
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets and Asana to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When conditional formatting rules change in [sheet], create or update a custom field in [Asana workspace].' (Or portal: Automations > New, choose 'Conditional Format Changed' trigger.)
- 3Describe the field mapping: 'If the rule tracks Priority levels, create a Priority custom field with enum options Red, Yellow, Green.'
- 4Specify the workspace: 'Create fields in the Engineering workspace.'
- 5Test by adding or modifying a conditional format rule and verifying the custom field appears in Asana.
Questions about this workflow
What if a custom field with that name already exists?
Notis will skip creation and keep the existing field. If you want to update it, mention it in your prompt.
Can I convert the format colors to field options?
Yes, describe it in your prompt: 'If the format rule uses green/red highlighting, create an enum field with On-Track and At-Risk options.'
What type of custom field should Notis create?
Mention it in your prompt: 'Create a text field' or 'Create a dropdown with these options' or 'Create a numeric field.'

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Sheets to Asana. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Sheets triggers
Asana actions

Add Supporting Relationship to Goal
Tool to add a supporting goal relationship to a goal. use when you want to link a project, task, portfolio, or another goal as a supporting resource to a specific goal in asana.
Conditional Format Rule Changed
Triggers when conditional formatting rules change in a Google Spreadsheet. Detects when rules are added, updated, or removed. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect changes between polls.
Add task to section
Adds an existing task to a section, optionally positioning it before or after another task in that section; if no position is specified, the task is added to the end.
Data Validation Rule Changed
Triggers when data validation rules change (added/updated/removed) in a Google Spreadsheet. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect changes between polls.
Create Allocation
Creates a new allocation. use when you need to schedule or assign a specific amount of a user's time per week to a task or project within a defined period.
Developer Metadata Changed
Triggers when developer metadata entries change (new/updated/removed) in a Google Spreadsheet. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect changes between polls.
Create a project
Creates a new asana project, requiring either a `workspace` or `team` gid for association, and returns the full project details.
Filtered Range Values Changed
Polling trigger that monitors Google Sheets filtered ranges for value changes. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect when values matching a data filter change. Emits the matched values when changes are detected.
Create a tag in a workspace
Creates a new tag, with properties like name and color defined in the request body, within a specific asana workspace (using `workspace gid`); this tag helps categorize tasks, is confined to the workspace, and is not automatically applied to tasks.
New Rows in Google Sheet
Simple polling trigger that monitors Google Sheets for new rows. Detects when new rows are added and returns the complete row data. Perfect for triggering any workflow based on new sheet entries.
Create task in asana with specific details
Creates a new asana task; requires 'workspace', 'parent', or 'projects' for association, and 'followers', 'projects', 'tags' are set only at creation.
New Sheet Added in Google Spreadsheet
Polling trigger that detects when a new sheet is added to a Google Spreadsheet.
