Hey Asana community, I am looking into creating/coding custom rules, as the available ones don’t offer what I need. I am currently developing a workflow that is reflecting single creatives as a task in a larger project/campaign (as single projects for each task would clutter the interface). I want…

If you want to code a custom rule you can use the latest AppComponent feature

With a native rule you can create a subtask when a task is moved to a column, this subtask could be an approval task and could (I think) be multi-homed into a project that has a custom field just like you need.

Hi Bastien, unfortunately I am no developer. I thought there might be just some scripting, but from what I get on a first glance, I have to install a server to communicate. Are there any tutorials on that? I am basically looking for a function like on “drag to section” → create subtask “n” as a…

#1 can be done through native rule, but #2 and following can’t because native rules don’t work in rules. The Asana API Documentation is the one we all use.

As I am a bit of a nerd, I think I am gonna give it a shot and try to learn some coding, but otherwise I am gonna try to find a solution involving Zapier and Co. Which one of the automation platforms would you recommend? Wil…

As @Bastien_Siebman and @lpb have said, this will require custom coding. Personally I really wouldn’t advise one to make one’s first project in learning coding as something involving the Asana API - not only will you need to set up a server but for your needs you’ll need to either use webhooks to be…

Thank you all. I think I should start with Flowsana, as I will do almost everything of what I currently require. Any idea which integration allows me to make external forms or database content visible in some kind of widget, so I dont have to cros over to a totally different tool, but maybe access e…
