Emojis everywhere! 🎉

Surprise everyone; you can now find Emoji’s everywhere in Asana!

We heard your feedback and we’re happy to announce that, as of a few days ago, you can now use emojis in task & project names in Asana, as well as custom fields! This makes it easy for Teams to distinguish between similar projects (1:1 meeting Projects, for example) with an emoji. Give your task name some :heart: or even add your favorite emoji as a custom field.

Asana’s expanded formatting options mean you can now cut and paste your :heart:s directly from your Tasks (or https://getemoji.com/) directly into your custom fields & titles for a little extra flair.

Great!
Would it also be possible to get the BOLD and UNDERLINE available in the custom fields?

How do you add them? The old system of typing : and then the emoji name? I tried that and it’s not working. Thanks

I’d like to know the best way as well. I had to type them into the description or comment box, then copy & paste them into the task or project title.

exactly. weird that there is no description on how to do this. unless the roll out isn’t universal yet.

Ditto - how does one actually add them, as there’s no input selector…?

On Mac computers you can always use the key command CTRL+ALT+SPACEBAR to let the emoji-picker-palette appear, but that’s a MacOS feature and I don’t know if there is something similar on Windows or Linux systems…

Boo. The keyboard shortcut doesn’t work for me even though I’m running Windows 10 and have the correct language settings. But I don’t have time to search for a solution so I guess I’ll just have to continue to copy and paste for now. :frowning:

Hey @Crystal_Alifanow :wave:

Have you tried cut & pasting emojis from the text formatting options that expand when you click into a task description or comment section?

Try it out! :slight_smile:

Try cut & pasting your emojis from the text formatting options that expand when you click into a task description or comment section!

You can also cut and paste them from https://getemoji.com as well :slight_smile:

I’m still having trouble getting emojis to come up when trying to add them to task titles. I’ve tried in a number of different browsers, so I don’t think that is the issue.

Thanks,
Katie

@Katie_Reynolds, I can confirm this isn’t working for me either right now (Chrome/Mac) whereas I recall it used to. Specifically, pasting an emoji from the post below works when pasting into the task description, but results in the text :emoji-name: when pasted into the task title, as you say.

Just because it’s germane to this thread, here’s a link to a possibly-helpful post of mine earlier:
