Sync New Asana Tasks to Notion Database
Stop losing tasks between tools. When you create a new task in Asana, Notis automatically adds it to your Notion projects database. No switching tabs, no re-typing—just one unified source of truth.
Trigger
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Action
Insert row database
Creates a new page (row) in a specified notion database.
Why this helps
Jumping between Asana and Notion wastes mental energy. When a task lives in only one tool, you risk missing updates, creating duplicates, or spending 10 minutes hunting for context.
- Eliminate task entry duplication across tools
- Keep project overviews current without manual updates
- Search and filter all tasks in one Notion database
- Reduce context-switching friction for ADHD workflows
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Asana and Notion accounts to Notis (one-time setup in the portal).
- 2Ask Notis in any channel: 'When a new task is created in Asana, add it to my Notion projects database.' Alternatively, go to Automations in the portal and create a new automation.
- 3Name the automation (e.g., 'Asana to Notion Task Sync') and write the prompt: 'Add the task title, assignee, due date, and project to my Notion database.'
- 4Select 'New Task Created' as the trigger and choose a channel (Telegram, email, Slack, etc.) where Notis will report successful syncs.
- 5Test by creating one task in Asana and verify it appears in Notion within seconds.
Questions about this workflow
Will existing Asana tasks sync to Notion?
No, this automation only syncs tasks created after you activate it. To migrate historical tasks, ask Notis to do a one-time bulk import.
What if I change a task name in Asana after it syncs?
This automation only triggers on task creation. For ongoing updates, you can set up a separate 'Task Updated' automation to sync changes.
Can I customize which fields sync?
Yes, tell Notis in your prompt exactly which fields to include (title, due date, assignee, priority, project, etc.). Notis will extract and format them.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Asana to Notion. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Attachment Added to Task
Triggers when an attachment is added to a task.
Add multiple content blocks (bulk, user-friendly)
Efficiently adds multiple standard content blocks to a notion page in a single api call with automatic markdown parsing. the 'content' field in notionrichtext blocks now automatically detects and parses markdown formatting including headers (# ## ###), bold (**text**), italic (*text*), strikethrough (~~text~~), inline code (`code`), links ([text](url)), and more. ideal for bulk content creation, ai agents, and replacing multiple individual add page content calls. supports automatic text formatting, content splitting, and up to 100 blocks per request.
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
Add content to Notion page
Deprecated: appends a single content block to a notion page or a parent block (must be page, toggle, to-do, bulleted/numbered list, callout, or quote); invoke repeatedly to add multiple blocks.
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Append complex blocks (advanced, full control)
Appends complex blocks with full notion block structure to a parent block or page. use for advanced scenarios requiring precise control: code blocks, tables, embeds, nested children within blocks, or when working with pre-built notion block objects. requires full notion api block schema - use add multiple page content for simpler content creation.
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
Archive Notion Page
Archives (moves to trash) or unarchives (restores from trash) a specified notion page.
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 comment
Adds a comment to a notion page (via `parent page id`) or to an existing discussion thread (via `discussion id`); cannot create new discussion threads on specific blocks (inline comments).
Task Updated
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
Create Notion Database
Creates a new notion database as a subpage under a specified parent page with a defined properties schema; use this action exclusively for creating new databases.
Create Notion page
Creates a new empty page in a notion workspace.
Delete a block
Archives a notion block, page, or database using its id, which sets its 'archived' property to true (like moving to "trash" in the ui) and allows it to be restored later.
