Add poll, read receipts functions to Project Status Updates

While drafting a recent project status update for my team, I needed to pose a question with either a y/n or short answer to determine some next steps for the project. Currently there is no way to solicit a short answer in a particular format in Asana (responses to project updates are not mandatory and can be any text format)

The lack of this feature means I have to go outside of Asana (email) to get the required responses. Furthermore the responses I do collect will not be associated with the relevant Asana project update, but rather will have to be added manually to the next project update I send.

Great idea, @Alison_Palmer! Hopefully this is something we can implement in the future!

That never did happen did it?

Hi @Lucinda4 welcome to the forum :wave:

No, unfortunately this has not happened yet. But as a workaround, you could use the Like button to ask people to click to confirm they have read the status update, or to vote ‘yes’ on a poll question.
Not as elegant as the feature request but I’ve seen it work with some of my clients.

Agree for poll function (like Whatssap) to be added into asana app
