Sync Asana Tags to GitHub Labels for Unified Priority Tracking
Tag a task as 'urgent' in Asana, but GitHub doesn't know it's urgent. Notis syncs your tags to GitHub labels instantly, keeping priority visible everywhere.
Trigger
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.
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
Tags in Asana don't propagate to GitHub labels, forcing manual re-tagging and risking missed priorities.
- Priority and type information is consistent across Asana and GitHub
- Eliminates manual re-tagging and reduces busy-work
- Allows GitHub filters and automations to respond to Asana priorities
- Reduces context-switching by keeping metadata in one place
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and GitHub to Notis.
- 2Create an automation with the prompt: 'When a tag is added to an Asana task, add a matching GitHub label to the issue. Map tags like urgent → urgent, bug → bug, feature → feature.'
- 3Choose your notification channel and test by tagging a task in Asana.
- 4Verify the label appears on the GitHub issue immediately.
Questions about this workflow
What if I use different tag names in Asana than label names in GitHub?
Include the mapping in your automation prompt, e.g., 'If Asana tag is high-priority, add GitHub label urgent.'
Can multiple tags create multiple labels?
Yes. Each tag in Asana will create a corresponding label in GitHub (or add an existing label). Tag as much as you need.
Does this work with custom Asana tags?
Absolutely. Asana's tag system is flexible, and Notis will sync any tag you add. Just tell Notis which tags matter for GitHub.

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.
