Auto-Notify Your Team When Tasks Arrive in Asana
Work arrives in Asana. Your team hears about it instantly in Slack. No manual copying, no missed tasks, no context-switching.

Why this helps
Neurodivergent founders often experience task-notification fatigue and context-switching overhead. When new work lands in Asana, team members may not notice until tasks pile up, creating bottlenecks and dropped context.
- Instant visibility: Team sees new work the moment it lands, reducing discovery delays and task backlogs.
- One-way flow: No back-and-forth switching between Asana and Slack; information flows to where your team lives.
- Reduced cognitive load: Information arrives proactively, eliminating the need to check Asana constantly.
- Better context capture: Notis includes task details in the Slack message so team can understand scope immediately.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Asana and Slack accounts to Notis via the portal (one-time setup).
- 2Ask Notis: 'Post new Asana tasks to Slack' or create a new automation in the portal.
- 3Notis will ask: pick which Asana project, which Slack channel, and any task filters (e.g., high priority only).
- 4Choose 'New Task Created' as the trigger and pick a channel for run reports.
- 5Test by creating a sample task in Asana; it should appear in your Slack channel within seconds.
Questions about this workflow
Will every single task spam Slack, or can I filter?
Notis can filter by project, assignee, tag, or priority in your plain-language prompt. For example: 'Post new Asana tasks tagged as urgent to the #critical-work channel.' No task floods unless you ask for all tasks.
What if I want different channels for different projects?
Create separate automations for each Asana project or team. Each automation routes to its own Slack channel. For example, one automation for Product tasks goes to #product-work, another for Engineering goes to #engineering-queue.
Can Notis include task details like assignee or deadline in the Slack message?
Yes. Notis pulls task metadata (assignee, due date, description, custom fields) and includes them in the Slack post automatically.
