Auto-link Tactical Work to Strategic Goals

When a Jira issue updates and connects to a strategic goal, Notis automatically links it as supporting work in Asana. Tactical work stays connected to strategy.

Trigger

Updated Issue

Fires when an existing issue is changed in the Jira project you configure — for example its status, assignee, or any other field on the issue is updated. Only issues in that project produce an event. It does not fire on comment activity: adding, editing, or deleting a comment on an issue will not produce an event from this trigger.

Action

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.

Why this helps

Tactical work (feature development, bug fixes) often gets disconnected from strategic goals. Teams lose sight of how daily work contributes to big-picture objectives.

  • Connects daily work to strategic goals for better alignment visibility
  • Helps team understand how their work contributes to strategy
  • Improves goal tracking and progress measurement
  • Reduces disconnect between tactical and strategic planning

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Jira and Asana to Notis.
  • 2Ask Notis: 'When a Jira issue is labeled with a goal or epic, link it as supporting work to the matching Asana goal.'
  • 3Specify which Jira labels, epics, or fields indicate goal-related work.
  • 4Set up the mapping between Jira goals and Asana goals (manually or let Notis match by name).
  • 5Test by creating or updating a Jira issue with a goal label and verifying the link appears in Asana.

Questions about this workflow

What if a Jira issue supports multiple goals?

Notis can link it to all matching goals automatically, showing complete strategic impact.

Can I unlink work if priorities change?

Yes. Notis updates links when Jira labels or status changes, keeping alignment current.

Will this help me track goal progress?

Yes. With linked supporting work, you can see goal progress through the work actually being done.
