@Marie and @Emily_Roman Any updates on if this is in the development pipeline? My company uses Gmail and while being able to create a new task from an email is excellent, not being able to add an email as a comment to an existing task is a hindrance. I know all of us gmail users would love this functionality!
Hi @Matt_Dickinson, I donāt have an update on this topic at the moment, but Iāll be sure to bring this up to our team and to post an update here as soon as I have an update on my end.
Thanks @Marie! For reference, I really like the Asanaās integration app within Slack and just wish the Gmail one was similar in functionality.
Same here! We could really use this feature.
Thereās a āVoteā button at the top of these pages that you can click on!
Iām so torn between the two products!
ClickUp has FAR more functionality in the free version and the paid versions are about 1/3 as costly plus, as a religiously affiliated non-profit, my organization has minimal funds available to cover these kinds of costs but we excluded from the Asanaās nonprofit discount while ClickUp (which is already less expensive) will offer us 30% offā¦
BUT Asana has a much cleaner/more fun and appealing UI which, while not a big deal for me personally, makes it easier to get buy-in with my less technically-inclined staff.
Our company just added Asana for our entire North America Commercial teams, and this will be KEY to us getting from managing tasks in the Inbox to managing tasks in Asana.
If I get our team members to āvoteā for this enhancement, will it help it be a higher priority?
Hi there! We receive some financial reports automatically via email from Quickbooks and we we would like to add them to specific tasks within Asana that already exist for the client. It seems forwarding from Gmail to the project address, or using the Gmail integration would only allow it to be sent to Asana as a new task, not with the ability to add the attachment to an existing task. Does anyone have an idea or workaround I am not thinking of other than downloading the attachment from email and then uploading directly into the Asana task manually?
Hi @anon579376, thanks for reaching out
At this time, itās not possible to email to existing tasks in Asana. We do have an existing thread in the #productfeedback requesting this feature.
Iāve gone ahead and merged your post with the existing one to consolidate feedback. Iāll keep you updated in the main thread
Hi there @anon579376 , Michaela from Integromat here
Since this currently cannot be achieved with the native integration, I was thinking I might as well jump in and suggest a workaround using Integromat. Itās a no-code tool that lets you connect your Asana account to pretty much any other online service and automate all kinds of time-consuming tasks youād rather not perform manually.
To see what the possibilities are, you can check out the integration pages of Asana and Gmail. On the pages, you can find all the available triggers, actions and pre-made templates for both services.
Just a side note: In order to do what youāre looking to do, youād need to incorporate the āIterate attachmentsā Gmail module and the āUpload an Attachmentā Asana module
Just signed up to asana particularly for the gmail integration. Very disappointed to see that it doesnāt do what I expected. Would love to add additional emails as I am trying to track work that way.
This would be such a time saver. Disappointed that this was flagged 3 years ago and itās still not implemented
Would absolutely love for this functionality to be added, even if it does not link back to Gmail. A single button that dumps the text of the email in as a comment would be incredible.
What is the holdup on this being added. To me it is a no-brainer and without it, limits the functionality of the product, pushes us back to utilizing email, since that is what we will essentially be doing anyways.
@Marie, Could you please do a follow up on this? This seems to be such a small task to implement but could greatly improve a lot of peoples workflow. Please implement this feature! Thanks!
Looks like this has been discussed since 2019; Itās 2022. Would really like to be able to add multiple emails to task - Or be able to use a subtask to add those additional emails.
Absolutely! Please Asana, create a tool to sync our emails. We spend way too much time copying and pasting email communications into our tasks.
Also still waiting for this functionalityā¦
This would be huge! Even the ability to combine subtasks created from emails would work for me. Or combining multiple subtask attachments into one would be great. But unique subtasks for each email is just not efficient.
Having a Gmail integration with the ability to attach a single Gmail to a task doesnāt make sense to me. Was it released into production so you can give sales and marketing a new feature to sell or is it supposed to help your customers? I find it one of the few things Asana falls short on. itās very frustrating!
