Sync Asana task changes to Linear issues
A task gets reassigned, a due date changes, or description gets clarified - but only in one tool. Notis catches every update in Asana and instantly syncs it to Linear so both tools stay current.
Trigger
Task Updated
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
Action
Update issue
Updates an existing linear issue using its `issue id`; requires at least one other attribute for modification, and all provided entity ids (for state, assignee, labels, etc.) must be valid.
Why this helps
Asynchronous tool updates breed confusion. A developer sees an old due date in Linear because the project manager updated it in Asana but forgot to mirror it. Work gets delayed or planned incorrectly.
- Ensure both tools always show the current task details
- Eliminate stale data and outdated information
- Reduce the need to manually update tasks in two places
- Improve accuracy of due dates, assignees, and descriptions
- Keep your team working with current information
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Linear to Notis.
- 2Create an automation and tell Notis: 'When any task is updated in Asana, sync the changes to the matching Linear issue. Update the title, description, due date, and assignee.'
- 3Select 'Task Updated' as your trigger.
- 4Choose a channel for update confirmations.
- 5Test by editing an Asana task and verifying changes sync to Linear.
Questions about this workflow
What if I want to exclude certain fields from syncing?
Tell Notis which fields matter. For example, 'Only sync description and due date, ignore assignments'.
Does this work for custom fields in Asana?
Notis can sync most Asana fields. Some custom fields may need manual mapping, but standard fields like title, description, and due date sync automatically.
What if the Linear issue has local changes?
Notis prioritizes the Asana update as the source of truth. You can configure exceptions if needed.
How often does the sync check for updates?
Notis syncs when you update the task in Asana, typically within 1-2 seconds.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Asana to Linear. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Asana triggers
Linear actions
Attachment Added to Task
Triggers when an attachment is added to a task.
Create linear attachment
Creates a new attachment and associates it with a specific, existing linear issue.
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
Create a comment
Creates a new comment on a specified linear issue.
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Create linear issue
Creates a new issue in a specified linear project and team, requiring a title and description, and allowing for optional properties like assignee, state, priority, cycle, and due date.
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
Get create issue default params
Fetches a linear team's default issue estimate and state, useful for pre-filling new issue forms.
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.
Create a label
Creates a new label in linear for a specified team, used to categorize and organize issues.
Task Updated
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
Delete issue
Archives an existing linear issue by its id, which is linear's standard way of deleting issues; the operation is idempotent.
Get all teams
Retrieves all teams from the linear workspace without requiring any parameters.
Download issue attachments
Downloads a specific attachment from a linear issue; the `file name` must include the correct file extension.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Not just Asana and Linear. Any combination from 985+ integrations.
