Auto-create Linear issues from Asana tasks
No more switching between Asana and Linear to manually recreate tasks. When you add a task in Asana, Notis instantly creates the corresponding issue in Linear with the same context.
Trigger
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Action
Create linear issue
Creates a new issue in a specified linear project and team, requiring a title and description, and allowing for optional properties like assignee, state, priority, cycle, and due date.
Why this helps
Neurodivergent teams often struggle with manual data entry across tools. Creating the same task in two places burns focus and introduces errors. The cognitive load of remembering which tool to update first can derail momentum.
- Eliminate manual task re-creation across tools
- Keep Asana and Linear in perfect sync without thinking about it
- Reduce context-switching and decision fatigue
- Decrease errors from duplicate or missed tasks
- Preserve full task context automatically
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Asana and Linear accounts to Notis via the portal (one-time setup).
- 2Ask Notis 'Create a new automation' or visit Automations in the portal and click New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis: 'When a new task is created in Asana, create a matching issue in Linear with the same title and description.'
- 4Select 'New Task Created' as your trigger and choose a channel (Telegram, email, etc.) for run reports.
- 5Test by creating a task in Asana and verify it appears in Linear within seconds.
Questions about this workflow
Will this work for all Asana projects or specific ones?
Notis can scope this to specific Asana projects. You can narrow it down by project name or section when setting up the automation. Just tell Notis which projects matter.
What if I don't want every Asana task in Linear?
You can filter by tags, assignees, or section. For example, 'Only sync tasks with the engineering tag' keeps non-dev work out of Linear.
How long does the sync take?
Usually within 1-2 seconds. Notis receives the Asana event and creates the Linear issue almost instantly.
Can I customize the Linear issue details?
Yes. Tell Notis to 'Set priority to high' or 'Assign to [team member]' or 'Add the backlog label' in your automation prompt, and it will apply those defaults.

Get create issue default params
Fetches a linear team's default issue estimate and state, useful for pre-filling new issue forms.
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.
Create a label
Creates a new label in linear for a specified team, used to categorize and organize issues.
Task Updated
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
Delete issue
Archives an existing linear issue by its id, which is linear's standard way of deleting issues; the operation is idempotent.
Get all teams
Retrieves all teams from the linear workspace without requiring any parameters.
Download issue attachments
Downloads a specific attachment from a linear issue; the `file name` must include the correct file extension.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Not just Asana and Linear. Any combination from 985+ integrations.
