Notion Schema Changes Update Your Asana Field Options
When you update a Notion database schema, Notis automatically adds new options to matching Asana custom fields, keeping your dropdown values in sync.
Trigger
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.
Action
Create Enum Option for Custom Field
Tool to create a new enum option for a custom field in asana. use this when you need to add a new selectable option to an existing custom field.
Why this helps
Founders add new status values or categories in Notion, but those changes don't propagate to Asana's custom fields. This creates inconsistency and requires manual updates to maintain parallel schema structures.
- Keep Asana field options in sync with Notion schema changes
- Eliminate manual option updates across tools
- Maintain consistent status values and categories
- Scale your schema management effortlessly
- Reduce data inconsistency and errors
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect both integrations to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'Notion schema to Asana field options'.
- 3Write your prompt: 'When a Notion database column is updated with new values, add matching enum options to the corresponding Asana custom field.'
- 4Choose 'Data Source Schema Updated' as your trigger.
- 5Test by adding a new property value in a Notion database and verify the option appears in Asana.
Questions about this workflow
What if a new enum value already exists in Asana?
Notis will skip it and only add new values that don't already exist.
Can I map Notion values to different Asana values?
Yes. Specify in your prompt: 'If the Notion status is "In Review", add the Asana option "Awaiting Review".'' Notis can translate between naming conventions.
What happens if I remove a value from Notion?
By default, Notis only adds new options; it doesn't remove them from Asana to avoid breaking existing tasks. You can tell Notis to delete options too if needed.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Asana. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Asana actions
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
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.
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.
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.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Create a project
Creates a new asana project, requiring either a `workspace` or `team` gid for association, and returns the full project details.
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.
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.
New Page
Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.
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.
Page Added to Page
Fires when a new subpage (a `child_page` type block) is added under a specified parent Notion page.
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.
