Create Asana Subtasks Automatically from Webhooks
When something important happens in another tool (customer request, form submission, alert, etc.), Notis creates a detailed subtask in Asana automatically. No lost follow-ups.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create subtask
Creates a new asana subtask under an existing parent task (`task gid`); `due on` and `due at` are mutually exclusive and cannot be set simultaneously.
Why this helps
Critical work requests come in through email, forms, customer messages, and integration alerts. Neurodivergent founders often miss these because they don't trigger notifications in their project management tool.
- Capture work from any source (emails, forms, external tools) automatically
- Nothing falls through the cracks when requests come from outside your primary tools
- Subtasks keep related work together and maintain context
- Frees mental energy from monitoring multiple tools
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Asana account to Notis.
- 2Create a webhook automation: 'When a webhook arrives, create a subtask in Asana with the details from the message.'
- 3Generate your unique Notis webhook URL and configure it in your external tool (form platform, CRM, email rules, etc.).
- 4Specify the Asana project and parent task where subtasks should land.
- 5Test by triggering the external event and confirming the subtask appears in Asana.
Questions about this workflow
Do I need technical skills to set up the webhook?
No. Notis provides a simple URL. Most tools have point-and-click webhook configuration with no coding required.
Can I customize what information goes into each subtask?
Yes. Tell Notis which fields from the webhook to extract and include in the subtask name or description.
What if the webhook sends an incomplete message?
Notis can fill in defaults, prompt you for missing info, or skip creation if required fields are missing.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Jira to Asana. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Jira triggers
Asana actions
New Issue
Fires when a new issue is created in the Jira project you configure. Only issues created in that project produce an event.
Add Followers to Task
Tool to add followers to a task in asana. use this tool when you need to add one or more users as followers to a specific task. this will notify them of updates to the task.
New Project
Triggered when a new project is added in Jira
Add Supporting Relationship to Goal
Tool to add a supporting goal relationship to a goal. use when you want to link a project, task, portfolio, or another goal as a supporting resource to a specific goal in asana.
Updated Issue
Fires when an existing issue is changed in the Jira project you configure — for example its status, assignee, or any other field on the issue is updated. Only issues in that project produce an event. It does not fire on comment activity: adding, editing, or deleting a comment on an issue will not produce an event from this trigger.
Add task to section
Adds an existing task to a section, optionally positioning it before or after another task in that section; if no position is specified, the task is added to the end.
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.
Create a project
Creates a new asana project, requiring either a `workspace` or `team` gid for association, and returns the full project details.
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.
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.
Create Attachment for Task
Tool to upload an attachment to a task. use when you need to attach a file to a specific task in asana.
