Never Lose Context: Sync Linear Comments to Asana

A stakeholder comments on your Linear issue. Instead of copying their feedback into Asana, Notis posts it automatically—context flows where it needs to go.

Trigger

Comment Received Trigger

Triggered when a comment is received.

Action

Create task comment

Adds a new text comment (story) to an existing asana task, appearing in its activity feed.

Why this helps

Copying feedback between tools is tedious and error-prone. Missing a comment can derail a task, and manually retyping feedback wastes time and introduces mistakes.

  • All feedback automatically visible in Asana without retyping
  • Prevent context loss when information stays in only one tool
  • Reduce decision delays caused by missed comments
  • Keep team conversations coherent across Linear and Asana

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Confirm both Linear and Asana are connected to Notis.
  • 2Tell Notis: 'When someone comments on a Linear issue, add that comment to the Asana task' or use the portal.
  • 3Notis sets the trigger to 'Linear Comment Received' and action to 'Create Asana Task Comment'.
  • 4Choose your notification channel for automation summaries.
  • 5Create a comment on a Linear issue and verify it appears in Asana.

Questions about this workflow

Will this sync historical comments or only new ones?

This automation captures new comments going forward. Existing comments stay where they are.

Can I exclude certain types of comments?

You can tell Notis to skip internal notes or comments from specific users. Customize the automation prompt to fit your team's workflow.

What if a comment is deleted in Linear—does it get deleted in Asana?

Deletions don't sync. The comment remains in Asana even if deleted from Linear. This prevents accidental loss of context.
