Auto-sync priority tags to Linear
You prioritize work in Asana with tags like 'urgent' and 'high', but Linear still shows everything as default priority. Developers can't tell what matters most. Notis watches Asana tags and instantly sets the correct priority in Linear so your team focuses on what matters.
Trigger
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.
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
Priority misalignment means wasted effort on low-value work. An issue shows as low-priority in Linear even though it's marked urgent in Asana.
- Ensure teams focus on the right work based on actual priority
- Eliminate manual priority management across tools
- Keep urgent issues visibly marked in Linear
- Reduce time spent deciding what to work on
- Align team effort with actual business priority
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Linear to Notis.
- 2Create an automation and tell Notis: 'When a priority tag is added to an Asana task (urgent, high, medium, low), update the matching Linear issue priority. Map urgent to high, high to high, medium to normal, low to low.'
- 3Select 'Tag Added to Task' as your trigger.
- 4Choose a channel for priority sync confirmations.
- 5Test by tagging an Asana task with priority and checking Linear.
Questions about this workflow
What if an Asana task has multiple priority tags?
Notis uses the highest priority. If both 'urgent' and 'medium' tags are present, it sets Linear to high/urgent.
Can I customize the priority mapping?
Yes. Tell Notis your mapping: 'critical maps to urgent, high maps to high, backlog maps to low'.
What if I remove a priority tag?
You can configure Notis to reset the Linear priority to default, or keep it as is.
Does this work alongside other priority mechanisms?
Yes. Asana tags sync to Linear priority. Any other Asana priority fields can be synced separately if needed.
