GitHub Star to Asana Task
Every star on your repository triggers an Asana task. Track growth and celebrate milestones without manual tracking.
Trigger
New Stargazer Added
Triggers when a new user stars a GitHub repository. Emits an event for each new stargazer detected on the monitored repository.
Action
Create task in asana with specific details
Creates a new asana task; requires 'workspace', 'parent', or 'projects' for association, and 'followers', 'projects', 'tags' are set only at creation.
Why this helps
Your repository gets starred but there's no visibility into growth. You miss engagement signals and can't celebrate wins with the team.
- Real-time visibility into repository growth
- Track engagement trends in Asana
- Celebrate milestones with the team
- Motivation from seeing community interest
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Asana integrations in Notis.
- 2Create automation: 'Stars to Tasks'. Prompt: 'Create a task in Asana when the repository receives a star, noting the milestone (e.g., 100 stars, 1k stars)'. Optionally filter to only create tasks at round numbers.
- 3Select 'New Stargazer Added' as your trigger.
- 4Test by starring the repository from a different account and verifying the task appears in Asana.
Questions about this workflow
Should I create a task for every star or only at milestones?
Filter by milestone: 'Only create tasks when reaching 100, 500, 1000 stars, etc.' to avoid spam.
Can I celebrate milestones differently?
Yes. Tell Notis to create special celebration tasks at major milestones and note them in Asana.
How do I track total stars over time?
Create a project status update weekly with the current star count, or use this to track engagement trends.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Asana. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Add Supporting Relationship to Goal
Tool to add a supporting goal relationship to a goal. use when you want to link a project, task, portfolio, or another goal as a supporting resource to a specific goal in asana.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Add task to section
Adds an existing task to a section, optionally positioning it before or after another task in that section; if no position is specified, the task is added to the end.
Check Run Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub check run changes its status or conclusion. Monitors a single check run for changes to: status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.), conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required), started_at, and completed_at.
Create Allocation
Creates a new allocation. use when you need to schedule or assign a specific amount of a user's time per week to a task or project within a defined period.
Check Suite Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a GitHub check suite changes its status or conclusion for a given ref. Monitors all check suites associated with a git reference (branch, tag, or commit SHA) for changes to status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.) and conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required, startup_failure, stale). Optionally filters by GitHub App ID.
Create a project

Triggers when a new code scanning alert is created in a repository. Fires an event for each newly created code scanning alert detected in the configured repository. Alerts can be filtered by Git reference, scanning tool, state, and severity.

Create a tag in a workspace
Creates a new tag, with properties like name and color defined in the request body, within a specific asana workspace (using `workspace gid`); this tag helps categorize tasks, is confined to the workspace, and is not automatically applied to tasks.

The payload includes the collaborator's GitHub username, account ID, profile URL, avatar URL, permission flags (pull, triage, push, maintain, admin), and assigned role name.
