Auto-tag Asana Tasks from New Jira Issues
New Jira issue? Asana task gets tagged automatically by project, priority, or type. No manual labeling. Your work is instantly filterable and organized.
Trigger
New Issue
Fires when a new issue is created in the Jira project you configure. Only issues created in that project produce an event.
Action
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.
Why this helps
Manually tagging and categorizing work adds friction and gets skipped when busy. Without consistent tags, it becomes impossible to filter work by project or priority, leading to lost visibility.
- Work is categorized automatically without manual effort
- Easy to filter tasks by project, priority, or type whenever you need to
- Consistent tagging across the entire team and project
- Improves visibility and reporting on work distribution
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Jira and Asana to Notis.
- 2Ask Notis: 'Tag new Asana tasks based on the Jira project or priority level.'
- 3Specify which tags should be applied for each Jira project (e.g., tag 'Design' for issues from the Design project).
- 4Select 'New Issue' as your Jira trigger.
- 5Test by creating sample issues and verifying the correct tags appear in Asana.
Questions about this workflow
Can I apply multiple tags to a single task?
Yes. Notis can apply tags for project, priority, type, and custom fields all at once.
What if I don't have tags set up in Asana yet?
Notis can create the tags for you, or you can set them up beforehand and Notis will apply them.
Can I change the tagging rules later?
Absolutely. Update your automation anytime to adjust which tags apply to which issues.
