Sync Slack Channels to Asana Projects Automatically
Every time your team creates a new Slack channel, Notis creates a matching Asana project. One communication hub, one project hub, always in sync.
Trigger
New Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
Action
Create a project
Creates a new asana project, requiring either a `workspace` or `team` gid for association, and returns the full project details.
Why this helps
Teams create Slack channels to organize conversations but forget to create corresponding projects in Asana, leaving work scattered across unconnected spaces.
- Project structure mirrors communication structure automatically
- No more orphaned Slack channels without project counterparts
- Reduces onboarding friction for new initiatives
- Keeps both systems in sync with minimal effort
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Slack and Asana workspaces to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When a new channel is created in Slack, create a matching project in Asana with the same name.'
- 3Optionally add details: 'Use the channel description as the project description' or 'Set the project privacy to match the channel.'
- 4Choose a Slack channel for Notis to announce each new project creation.
- 5Create a test channel in Slack and verify the project appears in Asana.
Questions about this workflow
What if I don't want every channel synced?
You can add filters: 'Only create projects for channels that start with project- or team-' or 'Skip archived channels.'
Can I control the project settings (team, portfolio, permissions)?
Yes. Tell Notis which team the project should belong to, what color to use, or other settings. It all happens automatically.
What happens to old channels?
This automation only applies to new channels created after you set it up. Existing channels won't retroactively create projects.
