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

I’ll get a Chrome extension up soon that allows you to turn these on or off since Asana isn’t going to address it anytime soon. I’ll let ya know when it gets approved.

If nothing else, make the growler notifications appear somewhere else other than over the sidebar, or add a quick “dismiss all” button.

But please do something.

Asana is great and all but any update on this odd feature?

  • Makes planning projects very laggy,
  • Insanely/illogically covers the control panel up when we are checking off done tasks; we can’t do anything for 5 seconds while the animated notifications tell us that we have just checked a task as done, this is crazy right? or are we missing something/not using this right? :upside_down_face:

Dear Asana, please make the world a better place and give us the option to disable these pop ups :pray:

Dear Asana users, if my prayers aren’t answered will one of you please provide a workaround? :innocent:

Please do something about this, Asana.

Yes, please let me shut these popups off, they slow down the process, especially when I’m cleaning up lists. Instead of check, check check, it’s check, wait, check, wait, check, wait. I manage the lists for others so this would be a time saver for me.
Thanks!

This is so annoying. And it blocks the main menu, that’s really bad UX design

2 and a half years since the first post, it is still an issue. :roll_eyes:

I’m guessing they want people to be more aware of these, maybe reduce mistakes, but it’s too annoying imo

I have a lot of Rules that run when new tasks are created or marked complete.

Whenever a Rule is triggered, there’s a pop-up on the bottom left of the screen. They stack upwards if there are multiple.

If you mark many tasks complete in a row, or you create many tasks at one time, the whole left side of your screen just fills with these pop-ups. (Marking tasks complete gives you two popups! – one for the completion, one for the Rule.)

The unfortunate thing is the left side of the screen is where all the action is – it’s where you begin typing new tasks, where you mark tasks complete, where you navigate to another project…

I frequently have to stop the work I’m doing to clear away these pop-ups, so I can keep working. It’s super ironic because Rules are supposed to make my work more efficient but the confirmation that the Rules are working is actually making me less efficient.

I got rid of these by installing the Amino Chrome extension and adding this bit of CSS to apply “Site” wide.

Update 2024-07-01
Asana changed their structure and classes. Updated CSS to hide these below.

.ToastManager,
.TipToast.ToastContainer,
.ToastNotificationContent,
.ToastSlideInTransition{
    display: none;
}

It just hides all of those annoying toast boxes by setting their display property to none. Feel free to adjust as needed to suit your needs.

I can just underline the point. The popups don’t add any value and running multiple rules on multiple tasks generates an enormous amount of popups. And what is worse, the same popups run on other instances of Asana, as soon as you switch a tab. I use multiple tabs in Chrome for different projects and so I have the pleasure of getting the popup tsunami several times. If there are people who love the popups for rules, maybe it makes sense, to give the option to switch them off, instead of Asana getting rid of the completely.

Adding to this, this is incredibly annoying. Looking into chrome extensions to disable this “feature” as a workaround. There’s no reason this should not be a user preference.

Please update this. It’s so annoying and gets in the way. There is ZERO need for this.

This is one of the most annoying + useless things I have ever come across in any software ever

Has the pop ops issue been fixed yet or is there a solution? I’m about to switch to a different platform completely.

This is extremely annoying. Please add a “turn off notification feature”

@anthony5

Currently unfortunately no… I believe there is a Product Feedback post that you can up vote.

@Rebecca_McGrath - Are you able to merge this with that one?

Jason.
