Keep Asana and Linear due dates in sync
A deadline is set in Asana for Friday, but the developer only checks Linear and assumes the issue has no deadline. Work isn't prioritized correctly and the deadline slips. Notis syncs due dates from Asana to Linear automatically so deadlines are always visible where your team works.
Trigger
Task Updated
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
Action
Update issue
Updates an existing linear issue using its `issue id`; requires at least one other attribute for modification, and all provided entity ids (for state, assignee, labels, etc.) must be valid.
Why this helps
Deadline misalignment creates crises. A task is due Friday in Asana but shows no deadline in Linear. Someone misses it because they thought there was time.
- Ensure all deadlines are visible in both tools
- Prevent missed deadlines due to tool misalignment
- Reduce context-switching to check deadlines
- Enable accurate sprint forecasting
- Keep team aligned on what's time-critical
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Linear to Notis.
- 2Create an automation and tell Notis: 'When a due date is set or updated on an Asana task, set the same due date on the matching Linear issue.'
- 3Select 'Task Updated' as your trigger to catch due date changes.
- 4Choose a channel for confirmation reports.
- 5Test by setting a due date on an Asana task and verifying it appears in Linear.
Questions about this workflow
What if I change the due date in Asana?
Notis syncs the updated due date to Linear immediately, typically within seconds.
What if I set a different due date in Linear?
Asana is the source of truth. Notis will overwrite the Linear date with the Asana date.
What happens if I clear a due date?
You can configure Notis to clear the Linear due date too, or leave it as is.
Can I use this for other date fields?
This focuses on due dates. Other Asana date fields can be synced with a separate automation if needed.
