Real-Time Sync of Asana Task Updates to Jira
Edit a task description in Asana, and Jira instantly reflects the change. Your two tools stay in lockstep without manual re-entry.
Trigger
Task Updated
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
Action
Edit Issue
Updates an existing jira issue with field values and operations. supports direct field parameters (summary, description, assignee, priority, etc.) that are merged with the fields parameter. direct parameters take precedence.
Why this helps
You update a task in Asana but forget to (or don't realize you need to) update the Jira issue too. Now both tools have different information and no one knows which is current.
- Single source of truth: update in Asana, see it everywhere
- Eliminate data inconsistencies between tools
- No duplicate work—change once, propagate instantly
- Stop wondering which tool has the latest version
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Set up Asana and Jira integrations in Notis.
- 2Ask Notis: 'Keep my Asana task and its Jira issue in sync—when anything changes in Asana, update Jira automatically.' or create the automation in the portal.
- 3Set trigger to 'Task Updated' and pick your notification channel.
- 4Make a test change to an Asana task (edit description, change date, etc.) and confirm it appears in Jira within seconds.
Questions about this workflow
Does this work for all fields—title, description, due date, assignee?
Yes. Notis syncs the core fields that both tools share. If you update the description in Asana, Jira's description updates; same for dates and assignees.
What if I make a change in Jira—does it sync back to Asana?
This automation is Asana→Jira. You can set up a reverse automation for bidirectional sync if you want both directions.
Will this create a sync loop or cause issues?
No. Notis is smart about it and prevents loops. It won't retrigger on updates it just made.
Can I exclude certain types of changes?
Yes. Refine your prompt: 'Sync all Asana updates to Jira except attachment changes' or 'Only sync title and description, not dates.' Notis applies the filters.

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.
