Connect External Tools to Asana via Webhook
Any external tool or service can send a webhook to Notis, triggering an instant Asana task. No integrations to build. Just a webhook URL.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create task in asana with specific details
Creates a new asana task; requires 'workspace', 'parent', or 'projects' for association, and 'followers', 'projects', 'tags' are set only at creation.
Why this helps
You use other tools that have no direct Asana integration. Work from those tools never reaches your Asana board unless you manually create tasks.
- Any tool with webhooks can trigger Asana tasks—no integration limit.
- Manual copying disappears: work from external tools flows to Asana automatically.
- Flexibility: customize exactly which signals trigger task creation.
- Low setup friction: webhook URL is all you need to connect a new tool.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Asana account to Notis.
- 2Create the automation: 'When you receive a webhook signal, create an Asana task with this information.'
- 3Notis provides you with a unique webhook URL.
- 4Configure the external tool to send webhooks to that URL when certain events happen.
- 5Test by triggering the external event and verify the Asana task is created.
Questions about this workflow
What information should I send in the webhook payload?
At minimum, a task title. You can also send description, due date, assignee, and other details. Tell Notis what to expect in your prompt.
Can I map webhook fields to Asana task fields?
Yes. Notis uses plain language: 'If the payload has 'priority', add it to Asana. If it has 'deadline', set as due date.' No field-mapping UI—just tell Notis.
Is the webhook URL secret?
Yes. Notis provides a unique, secret webhook URL. Only your external tool should send to it.

Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)

File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Create Allocation
Creates a new allocation. use when you need to schedule or assign a specific amount of a user's time per week to a task or project within a defined period.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Create a project
Creates a new asana project, requiring either a `workspace` or `team` gid for association, and returns the full project details.
File Shared (Permissions Added)
Triggers when new sharing permissions are granted to a file or folder. Uses Drive's `changes.list` endpoint with inline `permissions` in the `fields` mask so each change carries the file's current permission set provider-atomically. We diff that against `seen_permission_keys` to identify newly added grants. Drive page tokens are the primary cursor; if Drive rejects a stored token, the trigger raises `PollingTriggerError` without clearing state rather than silently re-baselining and dropping events. Limitation: truly ephemeral permissions (added and revoked between two polls without any other file modification in between) are not detected. Drive Activity API would catch those but requires an additional OAuth scope and a different payload contract.
Create a tag in a workspace
Creates a new tag, with properties like name and color defined in the request body, within a specific asana workspace (using `workspace gid`); this tag helps categorize tasks, is confined to the workspace, and is not automatically applied to tasks.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
