Ability to disable pop up notifications when creating/copying/deleting a project or task

Hilarious that users have been asking for this for 7 YEARS. And Asana has justignored us entirely.

@Alexander_Court @Bryan_Rousseau we’ve made incremental progress towards reducing the frequency of Toast usage over the last year. BUT what I can promise you is that I use this thread as evidence of why teams need to stop adding even more pop ups. We do hear you. I promise you you’re not being ignored :wink:

You’re not really responding to what 200+ posts are asking for though. We don’t want to reduce the frequency. We want the ability to entirely turn them off. Not once in my 9 years of using Asana have I ever interacted with that irritating, navigation blocking nuisance in any way other than closing it because it is (or half a dozen of them are) in the way of something I need to get to.

Friend, we are BEGGING you. PLEASE. I would just use the Tampermonkey scripts above but I prefer the desktop app, so I’m kinda out of luck.

Please @Garrett_Knoll help us with this. Can’t be that hard to make the toasts optional.

@Gabe_Munro thanks for the nudge :see_no_evil_monkey:. My prior message hadn’t quite captured the full implications of actions - particularly undo - only available within a toast pop up message that we’ve been working to eliminate. When we introduced new accessibility settings for pop ups 18+ months ago, turning them off completely was a scoping decision I was responsible for descoping. That was before our toast / pop up optimization work… so while I stand by the decision at the time, I also own doing right by you all now. I’ve kicked off a conversation with my Systems Design Lead partner!

@Garrett_Knoll I think I speak for the group here when I say that we appreciate your response and look forward to what comes next. Thank you!

Thanks for the info! But can you expand why you might not want to make something as turning off notifications optional to the user? Why would you decide against giving control to users?
