Sync Asana attachments to Linear issues automatically
Files uploaded in Asana stay locked in Asana. Notis automatically copies them to the matching Linear issue, so design files, specs, and screenshots are available wherever your team works.
Trigger
Attachment Added to Task
Triggers when an attachment is added to a task.
Action
Create linear attachment
Creates a new attachment and associates it with a specific, existing linear issue.
Why this helps
Asset fragmentation wastes time. A designer uploads mockups to Asana, but developers only check Linear and never see them. This creates rework, miscommunication, and frustration.
- Access all project files from a single location without hunting
- Keep design specs, mockups, and docs visible to the full team
- Eliminate duplicate file uploads across tools
- Preserve file history and attachments automatically
- Reduce friction in cross-functional handoffs
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Linear to Notis (one-time setup).
- 2Create an automation and tell Notis: 'When an attachment is added to an Asana task, attach it to the matching Linear issue.'
- 3Select 'Attachment Added to Task' as your trigger.
- 4Pick a channel for Notis to confirm successful attachments.
- 5Test by uploading a file to an Asana task and checking Linear.
Questions about this workflow
Does this work with images, PDFs, and all file types?
Yes. Notis syncs any file type that Asana and Linear support - images, PDFs, spreadsheets, videos, and more.
Will file sizes cause issues?
Notis handles large files efficiently. As long as both Asana and Linear accept the file, Notis will transfer it.
What if the same file is uploaded multiple times?
Notis syncs each upload independently, so if a file is updated in Asana, the new version gets attached to Linear.
Can I filter which attachments sync?
Yes. Tell Notis to only sync files matching certain patterns, like 'Only attach files ending in .pdf' or 'Skip temp files'.

Asana triggers
Linear actions

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.

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.
