Weekly Asana status refresh in Linear
By Friday afternoon, work has shifted across projects, statuses have changed, and some updates slipped through the cracks. Run a weekly refresh that catches all Asana changes and syncs them to Linear, so your week closes with accurate data.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Weekly reporting requires hunting for accurate status across tools. A task shows as 'Done' in Asana but 'In Progress' in Linear. This inconsistency wastes hours on manual cleanup and makes metrics unreliable.
- Ensure all statuses are accurate before weekly reviews or reports
- Catch inconsistencies that sneak in during the week
- Provide a safety net if real-time syncs miss updates
- Reduce manual data cleanup before reporting
- Build confidence in your metrics and burndown charts
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Linear to Notis.
- 2Create an automation and tell Notis: 'Every Friday at 4 PM, sync all task statuses and updates from Asana to their matching Linear issues. Update status, description, and priority.'
- 3Select 'Scheduled/Weekly' as your trigger type and choose Friday as the day.
- 4Set the time to run before your review meeting.
- 5Test by updating an Asana task and waiting for the weekly sync to confirm the change in Linear.
Questions about this workflow
Can I run this more or less frequently?
Yes. Set it to run every few days, twice a week, or even daily depending on your workflow.
Does this work for completed tasks too?
Yes. Notis syncs all statuses, including marking tasks as Done or Completed in Linear.
What fields get updated in Linear?
By default, status, description, and assignee. Tell Notis which fields matter for your team.
What if I made local changes in Linear?
Asana takes priority as the source of truth. Local Linear changes are overwritten by the Asana state.
