Hi Asana Community, I’m Gabriel, a Program Lead for the Product Pillar on the Customer Support team at Asana! 👋 Today, I’d like to share a tip that might seem simple, but can be a game-changer! As many of you know, you can create tasks in your _My Tasks_ by emailing `x@mail.asana.com` — as detailed in our [Help Center](https://help.asana.com/s/article/email-tasks-to-asana?language=en_US#h_01GWSN20MB8N1XVRDZ1JQAEKA6). However, a common question I get is: _How can I assign tasks directly to someone else’s My Tasks list?_ Great news — you can! Here’s how: - Open the person’s profile in Asana, click on “View all tasks" ![Screenshot 2024-11-14 at 12.03.09](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/asana/original/4X/f/3/0/f30fe4679ec923a9d27badeece185c533aa60594.jpeg) - In the arrow icon besides the profile name, select “Add tasks via Email”: ![Screenshot 2024-11-14 at 12.04.55](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/asana/original/4X/d/3/f/d3ff4a7e1618e13144b1560034f403ad5cb2c73a.png) - Copy the email address that will appear to you as below: ![Screenshot 2024-11-14 at 12.06.00](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/asana/original/4X/b/a/1/ba18cb9090a3b0b19fc19ecb725ebfd794298f24.png) Then you just need to create your email and paste the address above! This should create a task under other person my tasks list. Please note that you won’t be able to see your own my tasks ID by clicking in “Adding tasks via email” in Asana. However, in order to get your own ID, please follow the steps below: 1. Access your my tasks 2. Copy the numbers after /0/ from the URL bar 3. For example: https:/app.asana.com/0/ **1234567890111314** /1000222000323023 4. Copy **1234567890111314** and paste it after the x+ in the email address. Example: x+ **1234567890111314** @mail.asana.com The [x+1234567890111314@mail.asana.com](mailto:x+1234567890111314@mail.asana.com) will be your own my tasks ID and you can share it with other users if you wish them to create tasks under your my tasks via email. I hope this tip helps in your workflows! 😀 ---

Thank you so much @Gabriel_Gheno ! I have been wondering about how to do this, since I discovered I could send myself emails to create tasks. 😃 ---

That’s an interesting work round but not really a long term solution. I need to assign tasks to team members which are not part of projects. These are often very specific tasks with a short time frame. This should be made possible within the Create Task tool ---

Can you change the individual’s Asana email so that it isn’t a long list of digits?
