Mark Asana Complete in Notion
You mark a task complete in Asana, but the Notion page still shows it as open. This nagging mismatch adds invisible friction to your workflow. When you move the task to Done in Asana, Notis instantly updates the Notion record, so both tools agree the work is finished.
Trigger
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
Action
Update block
Updates an existing notion block's textual content or type-specific properties (e.g., 'checked' status, 'color'), using its `block id` and the specified `block type`.
Why this helps
Completed tasks sit open in Notion long after they're done in Asana. Your to-do list looks longer than it actually is, which drains motivation and makes it harder to see what's really left.
- Keep task completion status synchronized across tools
- Reduce the cognitive burden of checking off work in two places
- See an accurate picture of remaining work at a glance
- Get the mental reward of completion without administrative overhead
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Notion to Notis in the portal.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When a task moves to the 'Done' section in Asana, update the matching Notion page's status to 'Done' or check its completion checkbox.'
- 3Write the prompt: 'Find the Notion page matching the Asana task and update its status property (or checkbox) to complete.'
- 4Select 'Task Moved to Section' as the trigger and set your notification channel.
- 5Test by completing a task in Asana and verifying the Notion page's status updates.
Questions about this workflow
What section name in Asana corresponds to 'Done' in Notion?
You define that mapping in your automation prompt. For example: 'Asana's 'Done' section maps to Notion's 'Complete' status.'
Can I archive the Notion page when a task completes?
Yes, ask Notis to archive or move the Notion page to a 'Completed' database so your active list stays clear.
What if I move a task back to 'In Progress' in Asana?
Notis can reopen it in Notion. Specify this bidirectional sync in your prompt, or set up a second automation for reopening.

Attachment Added to Task
Triggers when an attachment is added to a task.
Add multiple content blocks (bulk, user-friendly)
Efficiently adds multiple standard content blocks to a notion page in a single api call with automatic markdown parsing. the 'content' field in notionrichtext blocks now automatically detects and parses markdown formatting including headers (# ## ###), bold (**text**), italic (*text*), strikethrough (~~text~~), inline code (`code`), links ([text](url)), and more. ideal for bulk content creation, ai agents, and replacing multiple individual add page content calls. supports automatic text formatting, content splitting, and up to 100 blocks per request.
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
Add content to Notion page
Deprecated: appends a single content block to a notion page or a parent block (must be page, toggle, to-do, bulleted/numbered list, callout, or quote); invoke repeatedly to add multiple blocks.
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Append complex blocks (advanced, full control)
Appends complex blocks with full notion block structure to a parent block or page. use for advanced scenarios requiring precise control: code blocks, tables, embeds, nested children within blocks, or when working with pre-built notion block objects. requires full notion api block schema - use add multiple page content for simpler content creation.
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
Archive Notion Page
Archives (moves to trash) or unarchives (restores from trash) a specified notion page.
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 comment
Adds a comment to a notion page (via `parent page id`) or to an existing discussion thread (via `discussion id`); cannot create new discussion threads on specific blocks (inline comments).
Task Updated
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
Create Notion Database
Creates a new notion database as a subpage under a specified parent page with a defined properties schema; use this action exclusively for creating new databases.
Create Notion page
Creates a new empty page in a notion workspace.
Delete a block
Archives a notion block, page, or database using its id, which sets its 'archived' property to true (like moving to "trash" in the ui) and allows it to be restored later.
