Notion Content Changes Update Asana Custom Fields

When content changes in Notion, Notis updates a custom field in the matching Asana task. You get an audit trail of edits without manual logging.

Trigger

Page Content Updated

Triggers when the body content of a Notion page is updated. Customer optionally scopes with at most one of: - data_source_id: any row in this data source - page_id: this specific page - parent_page_id: any page whose immediate parent is this page With none set, fires for any page content edit in the workspace the integration has access to. Notion aggregates content edits within a short window (~60s typical).

Get Custom Field

Tool to get a single custom field by its globally unique identifier. use when you need to retrieve the complete metadata and properties of a specific custom field in asana.

Why this helps

Content changes in Notion happen silently; Asana doesn't know about them. Teammates lose track of when content was updated or by whom, creating confusion about current state.

  • Create an audit trail of Notion content changes in Asana
  • Improve accountability and transparency
  • Reduce confusion about current content state
  • Track who changed what and when
  • Maintain documentation of all edits

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Asana in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation: 'Notion content tracks Asana fields'.
  • 3Write your prompt: 'When a Notion page's content is updated, update the "Last Updated" custom field in the Asana task with today's date and the editor's name.'
  • 4Select 'Page Content Updated' as your trigger.
  • 5Test by editing Notion page content and verify the custom field updates in Asana.

Questions about this workflow

Can I log the actual content change instead of just the date?

Yes, if you have a text custom field. Ask Notis: 'Log the change summary in the "Content Changes" field with the date and who made it.'

What if multiple edits happen in a short time?

Notis batches rapid edits into one update to avoid field spam. You can customize this in your prompt.

Will this work with custom fields that have limited options?

Yes, as long as the custom field has options that match your audit needs. For example, a dropdown with date options or editor names.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Asana. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

All Page Events

Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.

TriggerPolling

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.

ActionInstant

Comment Created

Triggers when a new comment is created in Notion. Optional `page_id` filter scopes to comments on a specific page. When omitted, fires for any new comment in the workspace the integration has access to. Requires the 'Read comments' capability on the Notion integration. If a connection was authorized before that capability was enabled, the user must re-authorize the connection for comment events to flow.

TriggerInstant

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.

ActionInstant

New Comment

Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.

TriggerPolling

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.

ActionInstant

Database Created

Triggers when a new Notion database (the container) is created. A database is the post-2025-09-03 container that holds one or more data sources. This trigger fires for the container's creation event (`database.created`), distinct from `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` which fires when a new data source is added to an existing database. Most customers calling Notion's `POST /v1/databases` (the legacy API) or creating a database via the Notion UI will see this event. Adding a new data source to an existing database fires `data_source.created` instead — use `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` for that. Notion's payload puts `entity.type: "block"` (the container is a `child_database` block in the content tree) and `entity.id` is the database id.

TriggerInstant

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.

ActionInstant

Data Source Created

Triggers when a new Notion data source is created. Fires workspace-wide. The payload's `data.parent` carries the data source's tree parent (typically the teamspace) for downstream filtering. A single template-based database creation can fire multiple `data_source.created` events at once — one per data source the template instantiates.

TriggerInstant

Create a project

Creates a new asana project, requiring either a `workspace` or `team` gid for association, and returns the full project details.

ActionInstant

Data Source Schema Updated

Triggers when a Notion data source's schema is updated. Fires on column add / remove / rename. Payload includes `data.updated_properties: [{id, name, action}]` so consumers can discriminate the kind of change downstream. Optional `data_source_id` filter scopes to schema changes on a single data source. When omitted, fires for any schema change in the workspace the integration has access to. Note: adding a column also fires `page.properties_updated` once per existing row in the data source. Customers wanting a single structural-change signal should use this trigger.

TriggerInstant

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.

ActionInstant

New Page

Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.

TriggerPolling

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.

ActionInstant

Page Added to Page

Fires when a new subpage (a `child_page` type block) is added under a specified parent Notion page.

TriggerPolling

Create Attachment for Task

Tool to upload an attachment to a task. use when you need to attach a file to a specific task in asana.
