01. IntegrationProject ManagementProductivity

Keep your Notion workspace in sync as Asana tasks move and change

Inbound: capture work where it happens

Every Asana event proposes a Notion action before anything runs. You review and approve from your phone, so your docs stay accurate without surprises.

02. Overview

Connect Asana to Notion with an approval step on every action

The Asana to Notion integration on Rills keeps your project management and documentation layers in step without requiring you to copy information between tools. When a task is created, updated, or moved to a new section in Asana, Rills detects the event and prepares the corresponding Notion action. This is built for solopreneurs and small teams who use Asana for task tracking and Notion for reference docs, wikis, or client-facing databases.

Before anything touches your Notion workspace, Rills queues the proposed action and sends it to your phone for review. A single swipe approves or rejects it. Over time, Rills learns from your decisions to surface better proposals. Approvals and workflow logic are always free. You only pay when a real action executes in Notion.

In practice, this means a new Asana task can instantly generate a linked Notion page ready for notes or specs. Moving a task to a section like In Review or Done updates the matching Notion page property so stakeholders see current status without switching tools. When task details change in Asana, the Notion page content updates to match, keeping asana notion integration data consistent across both platforms without manual effort.

03. Use cases

What Asana can hand to Notion, with you in the loop

Create a Notion page when a new task is added

When a task is created in Asana, Rills drafts a new Notion page with the task name and details pre-filled. You get a dedicated doc space for specs, notes, or deliverables without lifting a finger to create it.

Actions in Notion

  • Retrieve a page

    Fetch a page's properties and metadata to access its structured data, timestamps, and configuration details without retrieving its full content.

  • Update a page's properties

    Update any property on a Notion page including title, status, tags, and custom fields to keep your database current. This lets you modify page metadata, change document states, or archive pages without recreating them.

  • Query a data source

    Search and retrieve specific pages from your Notion database using filters and sorting to find exactly what you need. Use this to build filtered reports, look up entries by criteria, or work through large datasets in manageable chunks.

  • Create a page

    Add a new page to Notion either as a child of an existing page or as a new database entry, with customizable properties and initial content. Use this to expand your Notion workspace with structured information that integrates with your existing pages and databases.

  • Update a page's content as markdown

    Update a page's content by providing markdown text, which Notion automatically converts into its native block format. This is ideal for bulk content updates or working with markdown-formatted content from other sources.

  • Create a database

    Set up a new structured database within Notion by defining properties like text fields, numbers, dates, and relationships. This lets you programmatically create organized data collections for your business without manual setup.

  • Revoke a token

    Invalidate an access token to prevent it from being used for future API requests, useful for disconnecting integrations or removing access when it's no longer needed.

  • Retrieve a user

    Fetch a specific user's profile information including their name, avatar, email, and account type to display user details or verify team member information.

07. FAQ

Common questions about connecting Asana to Notion

How do I connect Asana to Notion?

Start a free Rills trial, then authorize both your Asana and Notion accounts inside the dashboard. From there, pick an Asana trigger (such as task created) and a Notion action (such as create a page), and Rills handles the rest. No code or developer help required.

How much does the Asana to Notion automation cost?

Rills offers a free 14-day trial with no credit card required. Approvals and workflow logic are always free. You only pay for real actions that execute in Notion, so reviewing and rejecting proposals never costs anything.

Can I update a Notion page's content automatically when an Asana task changes?

Yes. The ASANA_TASK_UPDATED trigger detects changes to task name, description, or due date and proposes a markdown update to the linked Notion page body. You approve the change from your phone before anything in Notion is modified.

Do I have to approve every single Notion action?

By default, yes. Every proposed action waits for your swipe before it runs, which protects your Notion workspace from unwanted changes. As Rills learns your preferences over time, the proposals improve. You stay in control of when and whether automation runs without guardrails.

What Asana events can trigger Notion actions?

The curated pairings cover task created, task moved to a section, and task updated. These cover the most common project workflow moments. Each trigger can map to Notion actions like creating a page, updating properties, updating page content, or querying a database.

Will this integration work if my Notion database has custom properties?

Yes. When Rills proposes a property update, it maps to whichever Notion properties you configure during setup. Custom select fields, date properties, and text fields are all supported. You confirm the mapping once and the automation follows it on every run.
