Thanks for providing this feedback, @anthony5 And thanks for keeping me in the loop, @Jason_Woods!
I’ve gone ahead and merged your post with the existing thread to consolidate feedback. I’ll keep you updated in the main thread if any changes are made to this feature
This feature literally makes it hard to use the platform and we may switch tools because of it. Very sad since we have built an integration to Salesforce and put a lot of work into this. It pops up right where you have to type depending on screen size. Why does this even exist?
@Marie - these are driving me and my clients nuts and it seems like such an obvious user preference to be able to get rid of these or at least not have them stack (and be smaller). Any progress on this or should we bring the masses to vote for this feature to turn off the toast messages?
Echoing the above, the pop up covers the menu and prevents quick use of the program. Turning this off should be an option and it is disappointing to see the comments here go back two years.
It’s a really bad decision to have them where they put them and to not have them stack at the very least. I’d be happy with an option to hide them entirely or a simple indication of progress in the project header or subheader which has plenty of room unused (next to 'created today).
They’re displayed long enough to get in the way and most of the time happen fast enough to not be able to read.
I see this topic (and most are from 2020) so I’m not holding my breath for changes.
Hello Asana Team,
Thankyou for your brilliant product. Its honestly amazing. With that said, i faced a small issue regarding the alerts, is it possible to turn off notifications from everyone except managers for a particular project?
As getting constant reminders when not from the manager is annoying, in essence can we “white-list” certain people and turn-off notifications?
Hi Rebecca
Any progress on this please?
Are you able to advise why it’s not considered a priority by Asaana?
I’ve voted, what else can we do to have this feature suspended?
For clarity I’ve taling about the browser pop up that come up when you change, complete a task and/or where a rule is activated. We use rules extensively and the pop ups are slowing us down.
Love Asana and the rules by the way.
The popups not only block important items on the project sidebar, but since they’re animated they can get very distracting. When moving around lots of different tasks around a timeline, for example, the whole left column is flooded with popups that are sliding in and sliding out all over the place. Having so much movement going on to the side inevitably draws the eye away from your actual work.
I truly cannot describe how much these animations ruin what could be such a great product experience.
Common actions like completing a task or changing a setting generate an annoying pop up that blocks other key functionality like the sidebar. It creates a kafkaesque UX where every click requires an additional click to close the pop up. It’s like browsing the web in the early 2000s. These animations not only significantly slow the feel of the app, but they are wildly redundant. I just clicked the complete button, I don’t need a pop up re-affirming that I clicked it. I also don’t need a unicorn flying across the screen, simultaneously celebrating my completion of “review sales dash” task and blocking my view of the other stuff I have to do.
I hate to be a kill joy. I’m sure some folks derive real joy from these animations and pop ups, but for the rest of us please let us turn them off. My company makes me use Asana, Asana is the only one who can save me from its pop ups.
I’m trying out different task management apps to see which one will work best for my business, and these pop ups are annoying enough that I’m scratching asana off the list. The end.
It would be awesome to be able to turn off notifications about Asana rules (“Asana has changed the status from … to …”). They are not relevant for my work and more and more of them get into my inbox.
Hi @Martin_Brandenburg, thanks for taking the time to provide this feedback!
We do have an existing thread for this feature request in the #productfeedback category so I’ve gone ahead and merged your post with the existing one to consolidate feedback.
I’ll keep you posted and let you know if I have any updates
Thanks for letting me know of this thread. But actually it is a different topic. I would like to remove the notifications from the inbox. The topic here is about the popups.
Hey Skyler, I used this previously to success so appreciate the suggestion. Recently however it stopped being able to prevent the notifications, as in Ill trigger the notification, use the element zapper, retrigger the notification and it will appear again.
does yours do this as well, or is it particular to my configuration? I swear if they’ve spent developing hours coding unique instances to circumvent ublockorigin rather than just offering the option to turn off something they took time to add unneccesarily and make it nigh unusable, I’m going to an alternate program lol
@Marie - What is the progress on prioritizing removal of the lower left pop-up notifications. These slow the progress of work and are very frustrating.
What I ended up doing was using a Chrome Extension like Amino or User JavaScript and CSS and adding a bit of CSS to the page to keep them from popping up. See below for the CSS:
