Auto-Notify Asana Followers from Linear Team Comments
A teammate comments on a Linear issue. Instead of you notifying everyone, Notis adds them as followers on the Asana task—everyone sees it automatically.
Trigger
Public Team Comment Created
Fires when a new comment is posted on a *public-team* Linear issue. For private teams (lock icon in Linear's sidebar) use `LINEAR_PRIVATE_TEAM_COMMENT_CREATED`.
Action
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
Key team members miss critical feedback because notifications don't cascade between tools, forcing you to manually alert people across platforms.
- Key stakeholders automatically stay informed when comments arrive
- Reduce the overhead of manual notifications across tools
- Prevent important feedback from being missed
- Empower team members to track work without needing separate setup
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect both Linear and Asana to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When a team member comments on a Linear issue, add followers to the Asana task' or configure in the portal.
- 3Notis triggers on 'Linear Public Team Comment Created' and executes 'Add Followers to Task'.
- 4Specify your notification channel.
- 5Have a teammate comment on a Linear issue and verify followers are added to the linked Asana task.
Questions about this workflow
Who gets added as followers—only the commenter, or everyone assigned to the task?
By default, the commenter becomes a follower. You can customize this to include the issue assignee, project lead, or other team roles.
What if someone is already a follower—does this cause duplicates?
No. Notis checks existing followers and only adds new ones, keeping your follower list clean.
Can I exclude certain team members from being auto-added?
Yes. Specify exclusions in your automation prompt—for example, skip bots or readonly team members.
