Notion Status Changes Trigger Asana Project Duplication

When you update a Notion page status to 'Approved' or 'Ready', Notis duplicates your project template in Asana, setting up the next phase instantly.

Trigger

Page Properties Updated

Triggers when properties of a Notion page are 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 property change in the workspace the integration has access to. Adding a column to a data source fires this trigger once per existing row. Customers can branch on `data.updated_properties` (array of property IDs) to filter downstream.

Action

Duplicate Project

Duplicate a project.

Why this helps

Moving to a new phase means manually duplicating a project template in Asana and reconfiguring it. Founders lose momentum waiting for project setup, or skip duplication and work without proper structure.

  • Automatically scale Asana projects based on workflow progress
  • Eliminate manual project duplication
  • Speed up phase transitions and project launches
  • Maintain consistent project structure across phases
  • Reduce friction when moving to new work stages

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Set up both integrations in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation: 'Notion status creates Asana projects'.
  • 3Write your prompt: 'When a Notion page status changes to "Ready for Build", duplicate the "Project Template" in Asana and name it after the initiative.'
  • 4Choose 'Page Properties Updated' as your trigger.
  • 5Test by changing a Notion page status and verify the duplicate project appears in Asana.

Questions about this workflow

Which Asana project should I use as the template?

Pick any project with the structure you want. Tell Notis in your prompt: 'Use the project named "Standard Project" as the template.'

Can I customize the duplicated project?

Yes. Ask Notis to personalize it: 'Name the duplicated project after the Notion page title' or 'Add a description from the Notion page.'

What if I want different templates for different status values?

Use conditional logic in your prompt: 'If status is "Research Phase", use Template A; if "Build Phase", use Template B.'

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.
