Auto-Create Jira Stories from Asana Epics
Write one big epic in Asana and tag it as 'epic'. Notis instantly creates all the child stories in Jira, pre-populated and ready to assign.
Trigger
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Action
Bulk Create Issues
Creates multiple jira issues (up to 50 per call) with full feature support including markdown, assignee resolution, and priority handling.
Why this helps
Epics are monolithic. You create one huge task in Asana, then have to manually break it into 5-10 Jira stories. That's error-prone and kills momentum.
- Break down large initiatives into actionable stories automatically
- Ensure nothing slips through the cracks during decomposition
- Reduce manual ticket creation and copy-paste work
- Keep team velocity high by removing administrative overhead
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Jira to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When a new Asana task is tagged epic, create the following related stories in Jira: [list them]' or 'Create related stories based on the epic description and subtasks.' Notis can infer the stories from your epic structure.
- 3Set trigger to 'New Task Created' and filter for tasks tagged 'epic' (or equivalent).
- 4Create a test epic in Asana and watch Jira populate with the related stories automatically.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know what stories to create from an epic?
You tell it in your prompt or it can read the epic description and any subtasks in Asana, then create parallel stories in Jira. You can also define a template of common stories.
Can the created stories be pre-assigned to team members?
Yes. Refine your prompt: 'Create stories and assign them to [team member] based on the epic description or a predefined assignment map.' Notis assigns intelligently.
What if I want different story templates for different epic types?
Use tags or naming conventions: 'If tagged backend-epic, create backend-specific stories. If tagged design-epic, create design stories.' Notis reads the context.
Can stories be linked to the parent epic in Jira?
Yes. Notis automatically links new stories to an epic or parent issue in Jira (you define the link type in the prompt).
