Auto-Create Project Tracking Sheets When New Tasks Launch
New projects in Asana should auto-spawn a tracking sheet in your Sheets workbook. Notis detects project-scale tasks and creates a dedicated workspace—no setup friction.
Trigger
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Action
Create a Google Sheet
Creates a new google spreadsheet in google drive using the provided title.
Why this helps
Founders launch projects constantly, but each one requires manual sheet creation, header setup, and formatting. This friction delays strategic work.
- New project sheets created automatically when needed
- Consistent structure and headers across all projects
- Eliminates manual sheet setup and formatting
- Projects get tracked immediately—no setup lag
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Google Sheets to Notis.
- 2Create a new automation: 'When a task is created in Asana and it's tagged as a project (or meets my project criteria), automatically create a new tracking sheet in my Sheets workbook for that project.'
- 3Tell Notis: How to identify a project task (look for a specific tag, priority level, or text in the title). What to name the new sheet. What headers and columns to include.
- 4Select 'New Task Created' as the trigger and specify the Asana project.
- 5Pick a notification channel.
- 6Test by creating a project-tagged task in Asana—a new sheet should appear in your workbook moments later.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know if a task is a 'project' vs. a regular task?
You define the criteria. Look for a specific tag (e.g., 'project'), a priority level, or text in the task title. Tell Notis your rule, and it applies it to new tasks.
Can I customize the sheet template?
Yes. Tell Notis what columns, headers, and structure you want in each new project sheet. It will use that template for every auto-created sheet.
What if I don't want every new project sheet?
You control the criteria. If you only want sheets for high-priority projects, tell Notis to filter by priority. It won't auto-create a sheet for every task.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Asana to Google Sheets. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Asana triggers
Google Sheets actions
Attachment Added to Task
Triggers when an attachment is added to a task.
Add Sheet to Spreadsheet
Adds a new sheet (worksheet) to a spreadsheet. use this tool to create a new tab within an existing google sheet, optionally specifying its title, index, size, and other properties.
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
Aggregate Column Data
Searches for rows where a specific column matches a value and performs mathematical operations on data from another column.
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Append Dimension
Tool to append new rows or columns to a sheet, increasing its size. use when you need to add empty rows or columns to an existing sheet.
Task Moved to Section

Batch get spreadsheet
Retrieves data from specified cell ranges in a google spreadsheet; ensure the spreadsheet has at least one worksheet and any explicitly referenced sheet names in ranges exist.
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.
Batch update spreadsheet
Updates a specified range in a google sheet with given values, or appends them as new rows if `first cell location` is omitted; ensure the target sheet exists and the spreadsheet contains at least one worksheet.
Task Updated
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
Batch Update Values by Data Filter
Tool to update values in ranges matching data filters. use when you need to update specific data in a google sheet based on criteria rather than fixed cell ranges.
Clear Basic Filter
Tool to clear the basic filter from a sheet. use when you need to remove an existing basic filter from a specific sheet within a google spreadsheet.
Clear spreadsheet values
Clears cell content (preserving formatting and notes) from a specified a1 notation range in a google spreadsheet; the range must correspond to an existing sheet and cells.
