Add a database row in Notion when a task is added to a project in Asana

When a task is added to a project in Asana, add a database row in Notion.

Start the 14-day trial, then find it under Templates → Library. It installs into the client you choose, switched off, with its checklist.

UsesBeta

Every step, in order

When it happens in the first app, the step runs in the second, with the client’s own account.

A task is added to a project
A new task in a project, checked every 5 minutes.
Add a database row
A new page in a database, with its title set. Other properties are typed in Notion; set them there with defaults.
  1. Starts whenA task is added to a project
  2. App stepAdd a database row

What each client fills in

Notion: Database ID
For example the 32 characters in the database URL
Notion: Title column
For example Name
Asana: Project ID
For example the number after /project/ in the link

The accounts it needs

Each is the client’s own, stored encrypted and never copied between clients. Until one is added the client’s checklist shows it, and nothing runs.

  • app.asana.com/0/my-apps → Create new token (signed in to the client’s Asana).

  • notion.so/profile/integrations → New integration (Internal) in the client’s workspace → Capabilities: Read content, Insert content and Update content (the row update needs the last) → copy the secret. Then open the database → ••• → Connections → add the integration.

After you install it

It lands switched off. The client’s checklist holds exactly this:

  1. Connect the client’s Asana, for “A task is added to a project”
  2. Connect the client’s Notion, for “Add a database row”
  3. Fill in Asana: Project ID (For example the number after /project/ in the link)
  4. Fill in Notion: Database ID (For example the 32 characters in the database URL)
  5. Fill in Notion: Title column (For example Name)
