Use case: our team wants to have an Asana out of office, travel, and other important dates (ex: holidays, in-office days) in one view. I’ve set this up for the team, however we have an open question of whether it is possible to do the following:
When adding a new task to the Asana calendar (ex: Team Member A - Out of Office from 9/1/23 - 9/15/23), is there a way to have this new task automatically added to the task creator’s Outlook calendar?
If creating a new Event or Appointment in Outlook (ex: Team Member B - Out of Office from 9/15/23 - 9/25/23), is there a way to have this new Outlook item automatically (or manually from Outlook) synced/added to the Asana calendar?
We do not want a full calendar sync between Outlook and Asana, we just want to minimize duplicative steps between the two systems.
Have you tried the ‘Sync to calendar’ feature? It has been available for quite some time.
You can also try the recently available ‘Outlook Calendar’ app. It should be available from any project’s Customize menu (top right area), go to ‘Apps’ section and search for ‘Outlook Calendar’. It allows you to connect tasks to Calendar meetings.
2-Way Sync between Asana and Microsoft Outlook Calendar (Online) is possible using zzBots. With this sync any new or updated tasks in Asana or events in Outlook will automatically stay up to date and in sync with each other.
