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.

Why this helps

Strategic discussions in Notion don't translate to goal tracking in Asana. Teams discuss dependencies and supporting work in comments, but don't formally link goals, losing the connection between strategy and execution.

  • Automatically formalize goal relationships from discussions
  • Connect strategic discussions to execution in Asana
  • Reduce the gap between planning and goal tracking
  • Improve visibility into goal support and dependencies
  • Sync strategy across tools without extra work

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Asana in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation: 'Notion goal discussions create Asana relationships'.
  • 3Write your prompt: 'When a new comment in Notion mentions goal alignment or supporting work, create a supporting relationship between the Asana goals mentioned.'
  • 4Select 'New Comment' as your trigger.
  • 5Test by commenting on a Notion page and verify the goal relationship appears in Asana.

Questions about this workflow

How does Notis know which goals to link?

Mention goals by name in your Notion comment, and Notis will find them in Asana. For example: 'This supports Goal X' will link them automatically.

Can multiple goals be linked from one comment?

Yes. Mention all relevant goals in your comment, and Notis will create all the relationships.

What if a goal doesn't exist in Asana yet?

You can tell Notis to create it first, or to skip and notify you. Specify your preference in the automation prompt.

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.
