Create Linear issues from new Asana tasks daily
Your team uses Asana as the command center, but issues still need to live in Linear for engineering. Instead of waiting and hoping tasks get mirrored, run a daily sync that automatically creates Linear issues from everything new in Asana each morning.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
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.
Why this helps
Relying on real-time event-based syncs works until it doesn't. A task slips through the cracks, someone forgets to create it in Linear, or the connection hiccups. Scheduled syncs provide a safety net that catches any missed items.
- Never miss a new Asana task in Linear again
- Catch sync failures and manually created issues automatically
- Schedule syncs at optimal times (e.g., before standups)
- Provide a reliable safety net alongside real-time sync
- Reduce stress about task duplication
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Linear to Notis.
- 2Create a new automation and tell Notis: 'Every morning at 8 AM, find all new tasks in Asana and create matching Linear issues for any that don't exist yet.'
- 3Select 'Scheduled/Daily' as your trigger type.
- 4Choose your preferred time and let Notis send results to your team channel.
- 5Test by creating a task in Asana and waiting for the next scheduled run.
Questions about this workflow
How far back does Notis look for new tasks?
You can define the window - usually 24 hours for a daily run, or since yesterday's sync.
Can I run this multiple times per day?
Yes. You can set it to run hourly, twice a day, or any schedule that works for your team.
What if a task was already synced?
Notis skips it. It only creates issues for new Asana tasks that don't already have matching Linear issues.
Can I filter which tasks sync?
Absolutely. Tell Notis 'Only sync tasks from the Engineering project' or 'Skip tasks with the blocked tag'.

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.
