Save Asana Comments to Notion Pages
Comments in Asana are temporary and hard to search. This workflow captures every comment and saves it to your Notion page, creating a permanent record of decisions and context.
Trigger
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
Action
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.
Why this helps
Task comments in Asana are buried in notifications and hard to reference later. You spend time re-reading threads or missing important details because you forgot which task held the discussion.
- Create a permanent, searchable record of all task discussions
- Enable async collaboration without losing context
- Reference past decisions without digging through notifications
- Reduce cognitive load by collocating discussions and tasks
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Notion to Notis via the portal.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When a comment is added to an Asana task, save it to the matching Notion page.' Use the portal Automations tab or any messaging channel.
- 3Write the prompt: 'Capture the comment text, the commenter's name, and timestamp, and append them to the corresponding Notion page.'
- 4Choose 'New Comment on Task' as the trigger and set your notification channel.
- 5Verify by adding a comment to any Asana task and checking that it appears on the Notion page within moments.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which Notion page matches which Asana task?
You tell Notis the relationship in your prompt (e.g., 'match by task title' or 'match by Notion database row'). Notis handles the lookup automatically.
What if a task doesn't have a Notion page yet?
You can ask Notis to create one first, or set up a separate 'new tasks' automation to create pages before comments arrive.
Will this capture file attachments or just text comments?
This captures text comments and metadata (author, timestamp). For attachments, use the separate 'Attachment Added' automation.

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.
