Automate GitHub Review Flags from Asana Attachments
A designer uploads a spec to Asana, but the dev team doesn't know to review it in GitHub. Notis adds a 'needs-review' label automatically, triggering the right workflow.
Trigger
Attachment Added to Task
Triggers when an attachment is added to a task.
Action
Add labels to an issue
Adds labels (provided in the request body) to a repository issue; labels that do not already exist are created.
Why this helps
Document and design attachments in Asana don't trigger GitHub reviews or labels, causing delays and missed design feedback.
- Design and spec uploads are immediately visible to the dev team in GitHub
- Reduces time between sharing a design and getting feedback
- Creates a clear visual signal ('needs-review' label) in GitHub
- Eliminates manual label updates and follow-up messages
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and GitHub to Notis.
- 2Create an automation with the prompt: 'When an attachment is added to an Asana task, add a needs-review label to the GitHub issue.'
- 3Choose your notification channel and save.
- 4Test by uploading a document or design file to an Asana task and checking GitHub for the new label.
Questions about this workflow
Does this work for all attachment types?
Yes, any attachment (images, PDFs, design files, spreadsheets) will trigger the label. You can filter by file type in your prompt if needed.
Can I use a different label based on attachment type?
Yes. Tell Notis to detect file types and apply different labels, e.g., 'If PDF, add needs-review; if design file, add design-ready.'
What if someone adds a duplicate attachment?
The label will be re-applied if it's not already there. Notis is smart about avoiding duplicate labels.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Asana to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Asana triggers
GitHub actions
Attachment Added to Task
Triggers when an attachment is added to a task.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
List repositories starred by the authenticated user
Deprecated: lists repositories starred by the authenticated user, including star creation timestamps; use 'list repositories starred by the authenticated user' instead.
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
Tag Added to Task
Triggers when a tag is added to a task. Note: Asana's event structure is inverted for tag events — the resource is the task and the parent is the tag. So parent.gid gives the tag GID.
Add email for auth user
Adds one or more email addresses (which will be initially unverified) to the authenticated user's github account; use this to associate new emails, noting an email verified for another account will error, while an existing email for the current user is accepted.
Task Updated
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
Add app access restrictions
Replaces github app access restrictions for an existing protected branch; requires a json array of app slugs in the request body, where apps must be installed and have 'contents' write permissions.
Add a repository collaborator
Adds a github user as a repository collaborator, or updates their permission if already a collaborator; `permission` applies to organization-owned repositories (personal ones default to 'push' and ignore this field), and an invitation may be created or permissions updated directly.
Add a repository to an app installation
Adds a repository to a github app installation, granting the app access; requires authenticated user to have admin rights for the repository and access to the installation.
