Automatically Create Jira Issues from Asana Tasks
Stop copying task details between Asana and Jira. New tasks in Asana instantly become issues in Jira, so your dev and project teams stay aligned without the friction.
Trigger
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Action
Create Issue
Creates a new jira issue (e.g., bug, task, story) in a specified project.
Why this helps
Neurodivergent founders juggle multiple tools—when a task lands in Asana, manually creating the same issue in Jira is another context-switch and a dropped ball waiting to happen.
- No more duplicate entry—create once, sync everywhere
- Reduce context-switching between Asana and Jira
- Ensure dev teams always see the latest work in Jira
- Cut manual task entry time by hours per week
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Asana workspace and Jira instance to Notis via the portal (one-time setup for both integrations).
- 2Ask Notis 'Create an automation that adds every new Asana task as a Jira issue' or open the portal and create a new automation with that prompt.
- 3Set the trigger to 'New Task Created' from Asana and pick the Slack or email channel where Notis will report each run.
- 4Test by creating a task in Asana—you'll see the confirmation in your chosen channel and the issue appear in Jira within seconds.
Questions about this workflow
Will this create duplicate issues if I already have tasks in both tools?
No. This only triggers on brand-new tasks created in Asana after the automation is active. Existing tasks are never affected—you start fresh from here forward.
Can Notis match the priority and assignee from Asana?
Yes. Notis reads the full task details including priority, assignee, and description. It maps those intelligently to Jira fields when creating the issue.
What if I don't want every Asana task in Jira?
You can refine the prompt—e.g., 'Only create Jira issues for Asana tasks in the Dev Backlog project' or 'Only if tagged as bug-report'. Notis will apply that filter automatically.
How quickly does the sync happen?
Typically within 5-10 seconds. Notis polls for new Asana events and creates the Jira issue immediately.
