Create Team

Tool to create a new team in an asana workspace. use when you need to establish a new team for collaboration.

Why this helps

Starting a new project means manually creating a team in Asana, inviting members, and setting permissions. Founders who prefer planning in Notion first hit friction when that structure doesn't automatically create organizational silos in Asana.

  • Automatically create teams for new projects or initiatives
  • Eliminate manual team setup and member invitation
  • Scale team creation as your business grows
  • Keep organizational structure in sync across tools
  • Reduce time spent on project administration

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect both integrations to Notis.
  • 2Create an automation: 'Notion pages create Asana teams'.
  • 3Write your prompt: 'When a new page is added to my Project database in Notion, create a team in Asana with the same name.'
  • 4Choose 'New Page' as your trigger.
  • 5Test by creating a new Notion page and verify the team appears in Asana.

Questions about this workflow

Can I automatically add members to the new team?

Yes. Specify in your prompt: 'Invite these team members to the new team' or 'Add everyone who is mentioned in the Notion page.' Notis can populate the team.

What if a team with that name already exists?

You can tell Notis to use the existing team or create a variant. For example: 'If the team exists, use it; otherwise create a new one.'

Can I set team permissions automatically?

You can tell Notis to make the team private or public, and specify access rules in your prompt. Customize team settings as needed.

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.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

Not just Notion and Asana. Any combination from 985+ integrations.
