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…

If some developer thinks he would be capable to reach my desired result, please contact me, I’m interested in investing in it. Thank you!

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…
