Sync Task Status Changes to Airtable Instantly
Your task moves through Asana sections, but your Airtable database stays frozen. With Notis, every section move automatically updates your Airtable status—no clicking around, no missed changes.
Trigger
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
Action
Update record
Modifies specified fields of an existing record in an airtable base and table; the base, table, and record must exist.
Why this helps
You update task status in Asana but forget to update it in Airtable, leaving your project database out of sync and your team confused about what's really done.
- Status always matches between tools
- See accurate project progress in Airtable
- No manual updating to remember
- Catch delays before they spiral
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Airtable to Notis (one-time in the portal).
- 2Create an automation with the instruction: 'When a task moves to a new section in Asana, update the matching Airtable record's status to match the section name.'
- 3Pick your notification channel so you see which tasks changed status.
- 4Select 'Task Moved to Section' as your trigger.
- 5Test by moving a task in Asana and confirm the status updates in Airtable within moments.
Questions about this workflow
What if my Airtable section names don't match Asana section names exactly?
Tell Notis how to map them. For example: 'When moved to To Do, mark it In Progress in Airtable' or whatever matches your setup.
Can this work with custom sections?
Yes. Any section in Asana can trigger the update. Just make sure the status field exists in Airtable.
Does this create new records or only update existing ones?
It updates existing records. If a record doesn't exist in Airtable yet, you can run the auto-logging workflow first to create it.
What happens if a task is moved back to an old section?
Notis updates the Airtable status back to match, so your database always reflects the current section.
