Add Collaborator to custom rules.

[anon3811451]

Would be great to have a Collaborator trigger in task rules.

Hi @anon3811451 what kind of trigger would you want - when a new collaborator is added or like a condition/ second trigger of if a collaborator is X

It would be nice if there is a trigger for when collaborator is added to the task. I would like to automatically add a project to a task when a certain collaborator is added to the task.
I have created specific projects unique to outside consultants that just have guest access to Asana. They can’t really see the tasks that they are collaborators on without doing a search for their name. I believe adding tasks to a project that they are members of, it allows them to more easily see all tasks that they are part of.

@Eric_Sung,

Until/if this becomes available, you could consider a rule triggered by a “Do” single-select custom field with values like Add Jane and Add Joe. The action could be both to add the collaborator and do the multi-homing.

Thanks,

Larry

Ah! That makes perfect sense, never thought about using a custom field to do this.
thank you for the workaround.

Hi everyone, I’m excited to share we’ve just launched the new trigger option for Rules: “Collaborator is added.” Here’s what you can do with it:

• Automate follow-ups instantly: Set up Rules to take action the moment a collaborator is added to a task—no more manual steps to notify teammates or kick off workflows.

• Flexible filtering: Use the “is” or “is one of” operators to trigger your Rule for specific collaborators or any collaborator addition.

• Find it easily: The new trigger appears under the “Added to task” section in the Rules builder.

Thanks for all the feedback you shared on this thread! Let us know if you have any questions or feedback

I can’t believe I’m just noticing this! I know plenty of folks who are excited to see this.
