Hi everyone, we have recently launched a new Chrome integration that allows you to quickly create tasks directly from your Google Docs or anywhere in your browser!
You can check all details and download the Asana Chrome extension from the link below:
I hope this helps! Feel free to reach out via the English Forum > Ask the Community category if you have any questions

Hi all! We were finally able to re-open this thread after it was closed without full resolution since the Asana Google Chrome extension didn’t actually allow users to create and assign tasks seamlessly from Google Docs (you still had to copy and paste tasks instead of being able to highlight text and create a task). I would love to get more traction on this thread so they can (hopefully) put this on their product roadmap since 7 years of comments (since 2017) still isn’t enough to have this product feature launched (and hoping we will get more than just stock responses) 
Please click the “+” at the very top of the thread and share with your team members who this would benefit to do the same! And more +1 comments would probably help too!
Let’s all work together to get community feedback heard and hopefully resulting in launched product features!

I can’t believe it’s 2025 and this basic functionality still doesn’t exist! Like so many others have noted, my team uses google docs extensively for meeting notes and naming action steps. It’s incredibly ineffective and inefficient to have to manually enter tasks into Asana from google docs. This really should be a basic feature. What’s it going to take for Asana to address this need?

Clicking the title to scroll to the top and voting by clicking the Vote button is actually the most effective way to express your support for a request.
Thanks,

Hi Larry! Thank you for that guidance! I’ve already done that (as have 140 other people). Would love to get more votes/traction on this if you could help in any way!!
I think Asana appreciates understanding the specific use cases that underlie your votes/request, so including that detail (if you haven’t already; I haven’t read all 100+ posts!) could help.
Hi Larry – My team uses Google docs daily for agendas, meeting notes, and project briefs. I find it incomprehensible that Asana has produced an add-on that allows me to create new tasks and comments from an Outlook email….but we STILL can create tasks and make comments from inside of a Google doc?? I can’t wrap my mind around this; it seems like a total no-brainer, and yet almost 8 years of users and their comments hasn’t yet seemed to establish a compelling (enough) business use case?

Welcome, @Angela_Holton, and I sympathize. FWIW, here’s more on the general topic:
Just to add to this conversation, now 9 years later, it would be nice to have a seamless process that allows us to:
- take meeting notes in a Google Doc
- identify action items
- highlight a line and open side panel to flesh out an Asana task
- save and have that highlighted line link directly to the newly created task.

Hi everyone, we’ve recently launched Pages, which could be a helpful option here. They’re a great way to keep the context, decisions, and supporting information together in Asana, and you can create tasks directly from a Page to turn ideas into action. It may not be exactly what the original post is asking for, but it can give the team a shared place to organize the conversation and next steps.
Hope this helps!
