Create Activity feed to Teams & Projects

So you can now filter by project updates in the inbox which is very welcome. Just need to filter by team and I think that will really nail it.

My workaround here has been to:

  1. Create a Slack channel
  2. Add Rules to post to that Slack channel when certain events happen in the project.

PROS

  • You can control what events are worthy of being notified about.
  • You can tailor the messages to be event-specific.
  • Easy to include links to the tasks so you can hop right into Asana from Slack.
  • Easy to share with anyone else within your org that’s on Slack but maybe not a big Asana user.

CONS

  • If you want to alert on every change you’ll need to create a lot of rules to capture all the possibilities.
  • Doesn’t help if your org doesn’t use Slack.
  • If it’s a busy project people might end up muting the Slack channel.

MY EXPERIENCE
I’ve been trying this approach for the past week in a project where I only really care when new tasks are created and when the custom status field we’ve added changes and it’s been a HUGE help.

In our situation there are hundreds of tasks being juggled and even if you spent 100% of your time in there you’d need a photographic memory to keep track of how things have changed or what has been added (and especially if you check in a couple times a week or even less frequently).

With my approach, on Monday morning all I had to do was check slack and it was clear as day that 14 new tasks had been created since Friday. Without this integration setup I may not have even checked on it till midweek and even then, you are only vaguely aware that things have moved but with the Slack integration my understanding is way more precise.

Later that day my boss asked what’s the latest and my reply of “14 new tasks came in over the weekend, we’re reviewing now” was a lot more useful and specific than the usual “there’s some movement in there”. I then invited them to the slack channel and they found being able to scroll through the list of activity on their own time really valuable for staying in the loop :+1:

TL;DR — please add project-level Activity Feeds!
Until then, perhaps the above workaround helps some of you!

@cosmo , I would note that this workaround also works for sending to a channel in MS Teams, too.

Hi all! An Asana Group PM leader here. I empathize with the friction you’re experiencing here. I can’t promise a specific timeline on this yet, but we have a few teams looking into this now with the goal of getting this into design in the next 1-2 quarters. I’m going to encourage my teams to reach out to you for feedback :folded_hands:

This is a BIG limitation for our business. The wider business is in the process of migrating from Trello to Asana, and as this is a crucial feature for the web development team, we will now be fragmented across two platforms. Please, please prioritise this in the roadmap over the next quarter. I have learned that this is a feature that is offered by Monday.com, and with 40+ users, we would much prefer to stay with Asana vs go through another migration. Appreciate your consideration!

@Amber_Costa I want to be careful to promise any specific timeline, but I can say that this is something that is beyond just being “Considered”, but not yet “In Development” from an engineering perspective. Product and Design are actively exploring this now, and we will be doing further roadmap planning for execution very soon. We appreciate your patience and I look forward to being able to share additional updates soon!

I also need this, I just lost 15 minutes looking for a comment I added to some task 5 minutes ago.

Mental damage I received is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

Welcome, @Kubilay_E,

If you’re on any Asana paid plan, then in the future you can quickly find such things by clicking the Search box, then Advanced search, then adding the last two parameters with Add filter, then clicking Search:

Thanks,

Larry

Hello,

I am looking does any tier of Asana have an in depth log of a team members activity? That i can just click on their page and see a time stamped log of all their activity. Each activity or action a team member does is already collect on the task. So that could easily be linked back to a “Audit Log” page for team member. That managers would be able to review what the team members have been working on throughout out the day and easily click into each timestamp and see the activity in Asana if they have permission to see.

LOOKS Something like this:

@nolanfaselt Welcome back to the forums.

At this time, Asana does not have a native audit log of this type. This can be done through a custom built automation.

Hi @nolanfaselt , I’ve moved your post into this existing thread which is actually marked considered which means could be moved into development soon. Make sure to also vote at the top of this thread.

The automation would be syncing it to like Google Sheets that would log each time stamp-able item or this would to create another task in asana to track it or somewhere in reporting i could find this?

@Kubilay_E Adding to @lpb that Asana AI (Smart projects or Smart Chat) can also help to find this.

@nolanfaselt It could also be a project in Asana where the data is displayed. The data would be pulled through the Asana API then fed back into the appropriate project in Asana.
