Auto-post Jira Updates as Comments in Asana
Jira issue changed? Asana task gets a comment with the update automatically. Your entire work history stays visible in one thread instead of scattered across two tools.
Trigger
Updated Issue
Fires when an existing issue is changed in the Jira project you configure — for example its status, assignee, or any other field on the issue is updated. Only issues in that project produce an event. It does not fire on comment activity: adding, editing, or deleting a comment on an issue will not produce an event from this trigger.
Action
Create task comment
Adds a new text comment (story) to an existing asana task, appearing in its activity feed.
Why this helps
Important context gets lost when decisions and updates happen in one tool but work continues in another. Team members miss critical information because they only check Asana, not Jira.
- All work context stays in Asana where your team actually works
- Reduces context-switching and missed updates
- Creates a single source of truth for each task
- Prevents duplicate conversations across platforms
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Jira and Asana to Notis.
- 2Ask Notis: 'Whenever a Jira issue is updated, post a comment about the change on the matching Asana task.'
- 3Select 'Updated Issue' as your Jira trigger.
- 4Choose what types of updates to sync (e.g., status changes, assignee updates, new comments, or all updates).
- 5Test by updating a Jira issue and checking that the comment appears in Asana within moments.
Questions about this workflow
Will this create a comment for every single field change?
No. You can configure it to trigger only on specific changes like status or priority, or to summarize multiple updates into one comment.
What if a Jira comment has sensitive information?
You can ask Notis to exclude certain updates, or to post only public, non-sensitive changes.
Can I choose what details appear in the Asana comment?
Yes. Notis can format the comment to include just the essentials or full details, depending on your preference.
