Auto-sync Asana tags to Linear labels
Tags organize your work in Asana, but Linear has different labels, and keeping them synchronized requires constant attention. Notis watches for tags in Asana and instantly applies the equivalent label in Linear.
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
Create a label
Creates a new label in linear for a specified team, used to categorize and organize issues.
Why this helps
Tag inconsistency erodes organization over time. One team member tags as 'urgent', another as 'priority', and Linear labels diverge from Asana tags. Filtering and searching become unreliable.
- Maintain consistent tags and labels across both tools automatically
- Never manually create the same label twice
- Enable reliable filtering and search across both platforms
- Improve team organization without ongoing coordination
- Reduce mental load of remembering label names
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Linear to Notis.
- 2Create an automation and tell Notis: 'When a tag is added to an Asana task, create or apply the same label in Linear. If the label doesn't exist, create it.'
- 3Select 'Tag Added to Task' as your trigger.
- 4Choose a channel for Notis to report label syncs.
- 5Test by tagging an Asana task and verifying the label appears in Linear.
Questions about this workflow
What if a tag name doesn't exist as a Linear label yet?
Notis creates it automatically on first use, then reuses it for future tags with that name.
Can I rename tags as they sync?
Yes. Tell Notis 'When tag is urgent, create label as high-priority' or define custom mappings.
Does removing a tag in Asana remove the label in Linear?
You can configure that. Some teams prefer labels to stick once applied, others want them removed. Tell us your preference.
How many tags can I sync?
Unlimited. Every tag you use in Asana can have a corresponding label in Linear.
