Sync Asana Comments to Jira in Real-Time
Your PM comments on an Asana task, and the dev team instantly sees it in Jira too. One conversation, both tools, no context loss.
Trigger
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
Action
Add Comment
Adds a comment using atlassian document format (adf) for rich text to an existing jira issue.
Why this helps
Updates live in Asana but devs only check Jira. Comments get lost, questions go unanswered, and work stalls because no one saw the discussion in the other tool.
- Keep conversations in one logical place even though your teams use two tools
- Dev and PM teams stay informed without switching apps
- Reduce missed updates and clarification delays
- Maintain a complete audit trail of decisions in both systems
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Set up Asana and Jira integrations in Notis (done once per workspace).
- 2Ask Notis 'Whenever someone comments on this Asana task, post the comment in Jira' or create the automation in the portal with that prompt.
- 3Choose 'New Comment on Task' as your trigger and select where Notis sends run notifications.
- 4Leave a test comment on a linked task—it'll mirror to Jira within seconds.
Questions about this workflow
Will comments duplicate if they're already in both places?
No. Notis only syncs new comments added after the automation is active. Past comments stay where they are.
Can I format the comment (bold, links, emoji)?
Yes. Notis preserves basic formatting. Jira's comment system supports rich text, so your formatting transfers over cleanly.
What if I want to comment only in Jira and have it sync back to Asana?
You can set up a second automation in the opposite direction. Ask Notis for bidirectional comment sync between the two tools.
Do comments include who wrote them?
Absolutely. Notis attributes each comment to the original author so the team knows who said what.
