Hello everyone, I’ve been trying to solve a problem with an automation for 2 days and I hope someone can help me.
I want to create a zap so that when a new task is added to a project, a folder is automatically created in drive, but I also want a subtask to be created within this main task, but also within the subtask in the description there is the link to the folder that was created previously.
The first step of creating the folder is completed satisfactorily, but the problem is that when the sub task is created and the link is put in the description, the zap starts to loop and creates tasks outside of the main task with the name of the subtask.
I already spoke to Zapier support and they were unable to solve it since they tell me that the zap loops because in the action of creating a subtask it does not automatically find the parent task ID of the main task (as shown below) and the asana support team also does not give me a solution.
I would appreciate any help on this issue or if it is possible to do it in another way to do this automation.
The problem might have occurred because of an unidentified main task.
To fix this, try to first locate the task by adding a search step.
Try following these Steps:
Trigger: Asana - New Task in Project
Action: Google Drive - Create Folder
Action: Asana - Find Task
Action: Asana - Create Subtask
Action: Asana - Update Subtask
