GitHub PR Reviewer to Asana Task Follower

PR reviewers requested in GitHub automatically become followers on the Asana task. Everyone knows who's responsible for review without manual assignment.

Trigger

GitHub Pull Request Reviewers Changed

Triggers when the list of requested reviewers (users or teams) for a pull request changes — for example when a reviewer is added, removed, or re-requested. The payload includes the full current reviewer list (users and teams with details), which reviewers were added, which were removed, and the previous reviewer list for reference.

Add Followers to Task

Tool to add followers to a task in asana. use this tool when you need to add one or more users as followers to a specific task. this will notify them of updates to the task.

Why this helps

You request a review on a GitHub PR, but the Asana task shows no reviewer. Reviewers miss the work because they're not following the task. Review ownership becomes unclear.

  • Reviewers automatically notified through Asana
  • Clear ownership of PR reviews
  • No missed reviews due to tool fragmentation
  • Unified visibility of who's involved

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Set up GitHub and Asana integrations in Notis.
  • 2Create automation: 'PR Reviewers to Task Followers'. Prompt: 'When reviewers are requested on a pull request, add them as followers to the related Asana task'.
  • 3Select 'GitHub Pull Request Reviewers Changed' as your trigger.
  • 4Test by requesting a review on a PR and checking that reviewers appear as task followers in Asana.

Questions about this workflow

How does Notis know which Asana task matches a PR?

Match by task title or include the task link in the PR description. Notis finds the right task automatically.

What if a reviewer is only on GitHub and not in Asana?

Notis creates a record showing they're needed for review. If they're not an Asana member, you can manually add them or invite them to Asana.

Can I remove followers when review is done?

Yes. Set up automation to remove followers when the PR is merged.
