Auto-create labels from Asana task patterns
New tasks come in from different Asana projects, each representing different work streams. Instead of manually creating labels in Linear, Notis detects the project and creates a matching label automatically, tagging issues for easy filtering.
Trigger
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Action
Create a label
Creates a new label in linear for a specified team, used to categorize and organize issues.
Why this helps
Labels in Linear don't reflect project structure from Asana. This fragmentation makes filtering and organizing work harder than it needs to be.
- Automatically organize Linear work by project structure
- Never manually create the same label twice
- Keep organization consistent as new work arrives
- Enable team to filter issues by project instantly
- Reduce manual label management overhead
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Linear to Notis.
- 2Create an automation and tell Notis: 'When a new task is created in Asana, extract its project name and create a matching label in Linear (if it doesn't exist).'
- 3Select 'New Task Created' as your trigger.
- 4Choose a channel for label creation confirmations.
- 5Test by creating tasks in different Asana projects and verifying labels appear in Linear.
Questions about this workflow
What if a project name is too long for a label?
Notis shortens or slugifies the label name. For example, 'Mobile App Redesign Q3' becomes 'mobile-app-q3'.
Can I customize label colors in this automation?
Yes. Tell Notis to 'Assign red to urgent projects, green to maintenance projects' etc.
What if a task is in multiple projects?
Notis can create multiple labels or use only the primary project. Tell us your preference.
Does this only work for new tasks?
Currently yes. For existing tasks, set up a separate bulk-creation automation.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Asana to Linear. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Asana triggers
Linear actions
Attachment Added to Task
Triggers when an attachment is added to a task.
Create linear attachment
Creates a new attachment and associates it with a specific, existing linear issue.
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
Create a comment
Creates a new comment on a specified linear issue.
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
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.
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
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.
