Auto-Create Story Suite from Asana Epic Tags
Tag a task 'full-stack-epic' in Asana and Notis creates backend, frontend, and testing stories in Jira, all linked and ready to assign.
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
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
Every new epic means manually creating 5-10 boilerplate stories in Jira. It's repetitive, error-prone, and kills the momentum of planning.
- Turn planning into one tag—no more manual story creation
- Ensure consistency in how epics are broken down
- Reduce planning time from hours to minutes
- Enable rapid scaling of work without admin overhead
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Set up both integrations in Notis.
- 2Define your epic tag templates in Notis. Example: 'When a task is tagged backend-epic, create Backend Development, Database Migrations, and Testing stories in Jira.'
- 3Set trigger to 'Tag Added to Task' and select your notification channel.
- 4Test by tagging an Asana task with one of your epic tags and verify the stories appear in Jira.
Questions about this workflow
Can I have different story templates for different epic types?
Yes. Define multiple templates: backend-epic, frontend-epic, data-epic, etc. Each tag triggers its own story suite.
Are the created stories linked to the epic?
Yes. Notis automatically links them to an epic or parent issue in Jira so they stay grouped and traceable.
Can I customize the story titles or descriptions?
Absolutely. Define templates with placeholders that Notis fills in from the Asana task details. E.g., 'Database schema for [epic title]'.
What if an epic tag is removed?
By default, the stories stay in Jira. You can configure Notis to delete or archive them if the tag is removed.
