Sync Evolving Asana Comments to Jira
A thread of discussion happens in Asana comments. Notis updates the Jira comment thread with new information so both teams stay current.
Trigger
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
Action
Update Comment
Updates text content or visibility of an existing jira comment.
Why this helps
Discussions evolve in Asana but Jira comments stay static. You end up re-reading old Asana comments to find the latest context.
- Discussions stay fresh in both tools without manual re-entry
- Developers and PMs see the same context without hunting Asana
- Reduce confusion from outdated or incomplete comments
- Enable truly collaborative workflows across both systems
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Jira to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When a comment is edited or a reply is added to a comment in Asana, update the corresponding Jira comment to include the new information.' Notis syncs the conversation.
- 3Set trigger to 'New Comment on Task' or configure it for edits too, and select your notification channel.
- 4Edit or reply to an Asana comment and confirm the Jira comment updates.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis sync entire comment threads or just the top-level comment?
Both. You can configure it to sync the main comment or the entire thread. Threaded discussions are preserved in Jira.
What if the Jira comment has been edited independently?
Notis can be configured to append Asana updates to avoid overwriting Jira edits, or to merge conflicts by date. You choose.
Does this preserve formatting and mentions?
Yes. Notis preserves formatting, links, and converts mentions intelligently so they work in both tools.
Can I hide certain comments from syncing?
Yes. Use tags or prompt rules: 'Only sync comments that start with [sync]' or 'Skip comments from bots.' Notis filters accordingly.
