Dear Devs, from a technical standpoint, do you think it would be possible to create an app, or a browser extension, that can implement additional filters to the inbox? Such filter by project or a free text search?

@Phil_Seeman , @lpb , @Bastien_Siebman , any idea if this is possible via the API?

@Francesco_Canovi , I don’t believe there’s any support for Inbox in the Asana API so that would rule out an app. An extension is problematic for a few reasons, not the least of which is that it would only have access to content appearing on the page, and Asana’s infinite scrolling of the Inbox lef…

What @lpb said. Great reply; I have nothing to add.

Thank you for your reply! Unfortunately, this is far from the needed solution. Using the in-browser search it wouldn’t be a filter, but a highlight system. I need the items grouped. And the infinite scroll is an issue. After years of asana contribution with my feedbacks (many years ago, when Asana…

Hi @Francesco_Canovi , I think it’s still far from ideal, but I’d like to share an idea. When I want to search something in Inbox, I use advanced search with collaborator: me, and add any other options. [Screen Shot 2020-07-24 at 9.15.08] My extension adds a shortcut to save one step. [Screen S…

Thank you for your contribution, ShunS. I appreciate all of your efforts, guys. Unfortunately, none of these options is good enough for the purpose which in fact would be simple. As a project manager, I don’t have many tasks to do. What I need is to follow the notifications of all team members, see…
