All my tricks related to the Inbox

The Asana inbox is the worst inbox I’ve ever experienced.

  • How do I turn off seeing notifications of people completing tasks? Don’t need to see this.
  • How do I turn off Asana automations “Asana assigned to you”? Don’t need to see this.
  • “So and so changed due date to today” Don’t need to see this.

Is it possible to simply have my Inbox only show me things that were @mention comments to me and nothing else? And yes I have already have it filtered as such.

My team has been using Asana for years. I own the business and if we do change to another app - it will 100% be due to the Inbox.

I’m having trouble with the filter settings in my Asana inbox. I’m trying to set it to @mentioned, but it keeps resetting. Is there a way to save this filter preference so it stays consistent?

Additionally, my inbox seems to show all tasks, making it difficult to navigate with infinite scrolling. Is there a way to filter it to show only incomplete tasks?

Thanks so much!

This is not a filter indeed, you are “supposed” to archive every notification you dealt with…

I was able to do an advanced search from My Tasks, but the search results do not include a column for collaborator , so how would I bulk remove myself as a collaborator?

Welcome, @Roxanna_N,

Multi-select the search result tasks (click the first task, shift-click the last one), then in the footer toolbar, click “…” then Add collaborators; then “X” your name to remove yourself from all tasks.

Thanks,

Larry

Perfect! Thank you!
