Auto-create Asana Custom Fields from Webhooks
External system needs to track specific data? Notis creates the Asana custom field automatically. Your task metadata stays current and centralized.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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
Work-related metadata (budget, client, status codes, etc.) often lives in external systems. Manually transcribing it into Asana custom fields is tedious and error-prone.
- Task metadata syncs automatically from external systems
- Eliminates manual transcription and errors
- Keeps Asana as your single source of truth for all work data
- Enables filtering and reporting based on external data
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Asana account to Notis.
- 2Create a webhook automation: 'When metadata arrives via webhook, create a custom field in Asana if it doesn't exist, then populate tasks with the data.'
- 3Get your webhook URL and configure it in your external system.
- 4Specify field names, types (text, number, dropdown, etc.), and which tasks should be updated.
- 5Test by sending sample webhook data and verifying fields appear in Asana.
Questions about this workflow
Can I update custom fields that already exist?
Yes. Notis can create fields if missing and always updates their values when new data arrives.
What if the webhook includes data I don't want in Asana?
You can filter the webhook payload to only include relevant fields before Notis creates them.
Are there limits to how many custom fields I can create?
Asana has workspace-level custom field limits (based on your plan). Notis works within those limits.

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
Triggered when a new project is added in Jira
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.
