I have been very absent from the Asana Forum and this maybe covered already…
I currently have 1 Asana Account that is associated with my Personal Domain. I work for a Large Consulting Company (300K employees) that doesn’t have Asana and no desire to. I also usually have 1 - 3 activie clients that I also have email accounts for.
Only 1 of those clients so far have I been able to utilise the Asana Outlook Pluggin to allow me to add tasks to Asana. Problem is that it doesn’t always work due to Network restrictions if I am in their office etc.
So being able ot easily add emails that I need to action on from effectively 3-4 source emails has become very problematic, since the right decision by Asana to restrict use of the X@mail.asana.com to 1 domain.
Have any of you come up with any ingenious solutions for this?
Hi, @Jason_Woods
You want to add tasks to your Asana from emails with three different domains, right? Why not make the three email addresses guests in your Asana team?
P.S. It might be interesting to use the rules function to process the tasks created by guests.
Guests in my Asana Team - I hadn’t thought of that at all… Any email that was forward from those accounts would be assinged to them in Asana. I would just have to view the Tasks Assigned to them from my account and update/change accordingly…
I think that might work will give it a go… See what it looks like… Appreciate the suggestion.
Okay am given that a go to see… Unfortunately seems I have an issue with that as it was an already existing account and once I went back into I can’t change any of my profile setttings. Asana just keeps on trying to reload… Support Ticket Logged…
Would be very interested in understanding more about the rules I could use to process the emails…
Sorry it has taken me a while to respond to this, been trailing and waiting for the support response.
So firstly when I set my secondary email to be able to use x@mail.asana.com. It would send the email to the My Task belonging to my new created Asana account. The problem was that it was private and I couldn’t see it so was not able to process or create any rules or anything for that email.
Which got me thinking to actually send both of my secondary account emails to a Email Process Project which I then create rules etc to clearly show that it is an email task and assign to myself for process.
So far over the last couple of weeks it is working well.
