"Direct embedding" in tasks, the complete list

[Arthur_BEGOU]

Hi all

I’m on a mission to catalog every format that can be seamlessly embedded into Asana tasks (and project brief) without the need for integration. I mean, drop a link, and like magic, Asana instantly displays the file right inside the task. Since I couldn’t find a comprehensive source, I’ve decided to build one.

Shortlist

Direct embedding works seamlessly

Hi @Marie
I’m never sure where to put such articles. Forum leaders only? Or other categories?
Thanks

[Bastien_Siebman]

@Arthur_BEGOU great initiative!

[Bastien_Siebman]

Your post is currently hidden in a private category, the Forum Leader Tips for me is the right category.

[Emily_Roman]

Thanks for creating this tip, @Arthur_BEGOU! As Bastien said, the Forum Leaders tips category is the right place to publish all your tips!

Kudos for this work, @Arthur_BEGOU!

How about Canva? Anyone else use that?

For me, it does create a direct embed but it never “works”, it always shows a Forbidden (403) Canva page as the embed.

Hi @Dyani and thanks for pointing that out; and indeed, I have the same issue, even with public links

[Nao_Kumazaki]

Wow, this is clear! Thank you for putting this know-how together @Arthur_BEGOU

Ok so it’s not just something weird on my end then! That’s exactly what happens for me no matter what permissions I put on the link.
