Keep Asana Sections Synced with Linear Issue Status
Move a Linear issue from 'In Progress' to 'Done' and watch the Asana task shift to the correct section instantly. Your workflow board always reflects reality.
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Action
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.
Why this helps
Manually moving tasks between sections drains focus, and when you forget, your Asana board becomes an unreliable record of what's actually happening.
- Asana board always reflects the true status of your Linear issues
- Stop manually moving tasks—Notis handles it automatically
- Prevent the confusion of out-of-sync statuses across tools
- Spend less time housekeeping your boards and more time working
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Make sure your Linear and Asana accounts are connected to Notis.
- 2Ask Notis: 'When a Linear issue status changes, move the Asana task to the matching section' or set this up in the portal.
- 3Notis triggers on 'Linear Issue Updated' and executes 'Add Task to Section'.
- 4Pick the Slack/email channel for run notifications.
- 5Test by changing a Linear issue's status and watching the Asana task move.
Questions about this workflow
Does this work if my Linear statuses don't exactly match my Asana sections?
Tell Notis how to map them. For example, 'Linear Done maps to Asana Completed.' Notis will handle the translation automatically.
What if I manually move a task in Asana—does it sync back to Linear?
This automation is one-directional: Linear to Asana. Manual Asana changes won't update Linear, but the next Linear status change will re-sync them.
Can I exclude certain Linear workflows from this sync?
Yes. Specify in your prompt which Linear teams or projects should sync—everything else stays local.
