Auto-Invite GitHub Project Collaborators from Asana Review Comments
A designer or PM comments on an Asana task to provide feedback, but they're not invited to the GitHub project yet. Notis adds them automatically.
Trigger
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
Action
Add project collaborator
Adds a specified github user as a collaborator to an existing organization project with a given permission level.
Why this helps
Reviewers and stakeholders who comment on Asana tasks don't get GitHub project access, fragmenting feedback across multiple platforms.
- Reviewers see context directly in GitHub instead of two separate conversations
- Feedback stays in one place, reducing duplicate communication
- Simplifies cross-functional workflows (design, product, engineering)
- Reduces the back-and-forth of inviting people to projects
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and GitHub to Notis.
- 2Create an automation with the prompt: 'When someone comments on an Asana task, add them as a collaborator to the GitHub project.'
- 3Choose your notification channel and save.
- 4Test by having a teammate comment on an Asana task and verify they appear in the GitHub project.
Questions about this workflow
What if the commenter doesn't have a GitHub account?
Notis will notify you so you can send a manual invitation or create an account for them.
Can I exclude internal team members and only add external reviewers?
Yes. Tell Notis to filter by role, domain, or team membership in your automation prompt.
Do I need to manually remove them later?
By default, no. They stay as collaborators. You can ask Notis to remove them after a certain time period or when the task is completed.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Asana to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Asana triggers
GitHub actions
Attachment Added to Task
Triggers when an attachment is added to a task.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
List repositories starred by the authenticated user
Deprecated: lists repositories starred by the authenticated user, including star creation timestamps; use 'list repositories starred by the authenticated user' instead.
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
Tag Added to Task
Triggers when a tag is added to a task. Note: Asana's event structure is inverted for tag events — the resource is the task and the parent is the tag. So parent.gid gives the tag GID.
Add email for auth user
Adds one or more email addresses (which will be initially unverified) to the authenticated user's github account; use this to associate new emails, noting an email verified for another account will error, while an existing email for the current user is accepted.
Task Updated
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
Add app access restrictions
Replaces github app access restrictions for an existing protected branch; requires a json array of app slugs in the request body, where apps must be installed and have 'contents' write permissions.
Add a repository collaborator
Adds a github user as a repository collaborator, or updates their permission if already a collaborator; `permission` applies to organization-owned repositories (personal ones default to 'push' and ignore this field), and an invitation may be created or permissions updated directly.
Add a repository to an app installation
Adds a repository to a github app installation, granting the app access; requires authenticated user to have admin rights for the repository and access to the installation.
