I get a ton of bot / rule notifications every day in my ASANA inbox on my tasks. I don’t want to see these - it’s hard to see what’s actually important.
These are notifications like -
Comment when task exists in specific section
Post comment when task moved to Resolved section and Resolved exists
When Task is overdue changed Focus Date from “Dec 10” to “Dec 11” ·
How do I get rid of them?
Hello @Jeanine_Scott2 ,
Short answer: There is no way to filter out only bot or rule-generated notifications in the Inbox right now.
A few practical workarounds I use:
Use the Inbox filter for focus. When you need a signal only, switch to @Mentions or ‘Assigned to me’ so you only see items that directly require your attention.
Tweak the rules. If a rule is posting a comment, consider switching the action to something quieter, like setting a custom field, moving sections, or adding a tag instead of adding a comment. That keeps the audit trail without pinging everyone.
Trim collaborators. If you do not need ongoing updates on a task, remove yourself as a collaborator. You will still get notified if someone assigns it to you or @mentions you.
Keep a personal signal view. Some folks star key tasks or use My Tasks sections to pull in only items that really matter, then treat the Inbox as a quick sweep.
I’ve shared this feedback with our team because a filter for automated updates would help.
