Auto-create Asana Projects for Major Jira Issues
Major Jira issues get their own dedicated Asana project automatically. No more cramming complex work into a single task. Each initiative gets the space it needs to breathe.
Trigger
New Issue
Fires when a new issue is created in the Jira project you configure. Only issues created in that project produce an event.
Action
Create a project
Creates a new asana project, requiring either a `workspace` or `team` gid for association, and returns the full project details.
Why this helps
Large projects shouldn't be single tasks. They need sections, subtasks, and team coordination. Manually creating projects for each major issue adds friction that neurodivergent founders often skip, leading to disorganized work.
- Complex work gets a dedicated, organized workspace automatically
- Team members know exactly where to find a major initiative's details
- Reduces the friction of manually creating projects when priorities shift
- Scales your workflow as work grows in complexity
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Jira and Asana to Notis.
- 2Ask Notis: 'When a high-priority Jira issue is created, automatically create a dedicated Asana project for it.'
- 3Specify which labels or priorities trigger project creation (e.g., 'Epic', 'P0', or issues with a specific parent).
- 4Choose your Asana workspace and optionally add team members to new projects automatically.
- 5Test by creating a high-priority Jira issue and verifying a new Asana project appears.
Questions about this workflow
What makes an issue 'major' enough to warrant its own project?
You decide. Set the rule based on labels, priority level, or issue type. For example, only 'Epics' or 'P0' issues get projects.
Can I add a team or project template automatically?
Yes. Notis can add specific team members or apply a project template when creating the Asana project.
What if a task turns out to be simpler than expected?
No problem. A project that's unused doesn't hurt, or you can archive it. Notis doesn't over-create.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Jira to Asana. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Jira triggers
Asana actions
New Issue
Fires when a new issue is created in the Jira project you configure. Only issues created in that project produce an event.
Add Followers to Task
Tool to add followers to a task in asana. use this tool when you need to add one or more users as followers to a specific task. this will notify them of updates to the task.
New Project

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.
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.
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.
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.
Create a project
Creates a new asana project, requiring either a `workspace` or `team` gid for association, and returns the full project details.
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.
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.
Create Attachment for Task
Tool to upload an attachment to a task. use when you need to attach a file to a specific task in asana.
