Hi! I use the asana boards to keep track of my daily tasks and move them around, I find it easier to tackle tasks this way than the today list. Anyways, I wonder if there’s a way of automatically copying a task from one project to another when the date for the said task is due. For instance, I use a board project with “do, doing and done” system, and other list projects with internal tasks. I organize the tasks with due dates and I would like to see the tasks for the day in my board project under my “do” list without having to manually copy them every morning. Is that possible?
Contacting @paulminors and @Caisha. I tried some zaps with Zapier but couldn’t actually find a way of getting it done. Could you please help me out with this?
Hey Rafael, I’ve been trying to think about how you would do this with Zapier and I haven’t figured out how. You could probably do it with a script if you know how to do that.
I’m going to think about it today and see if anything comes at me as to how I would do it with Zapier. The issue mainly is that you can’t search for tasks, only by task name - so I could maybe do that, but it would be a flawed automation as it would probably miss some steps.
You can do it! I believe in you, guys! I don’t know how to write scripts , otherwise, I would help more. But hey, new challenge! I’m glad I got @Caisha 's and @paulminors ’ attention. I’d love to hear back from you with a solution. I’d be in debt forever!
Hello Myroslav. I haven’t tried yet but sounds promising. I don’t have any programming skills so it might take a while until I can say this is a solution, but thank you for the tip!
I will try to use it and will let you know. @Caisha, if you happen to figure out this workaround first I would be eternally grateful
Hi @Myroslav_Opyr . I tried. I really did. But my coding skills are rather low. Probably the solution is there within blockspring, but I simply can’t do it. Has anyone tried something similar? Anyone? I’m completely out of options here
Has there been any update to this - I am suffering similar fate - I have 1 board of Action items and 1 board of some of those action items that I need to do TODAY - If something is due today can it AUTOMATICALLY be in two projects (like dependencies).
I’m not sure if this would be as complicated, but I was wandering if it would be possible to automatically add a task created in one project to another.
I have 4 schedule projects set up for 4 different teams and want to use Zapier to automatically add tasks created in each of those projects to an overall schedule project.
I know I could use advanced search but I want to be able to use Timeline as a visual. With the new sections feature it would be a really nice way to see everyone’s schedule on a timeline.
FYI you can now do this via Flowsana - I’ve added a rule condition based on a change in a task’s due date, including a condition for “Task is due today” - see this post for more info:
