Actually that’s true - it is possible in Asana. The illustration above, though, is for clearing a custom date field; to clear the due date, use:

Hi @Phil_Seeman and @lpb, thank you very much for your messages
I’ll definitely create a request on the Feedback portal. Flowsana is an awesome tool 
Thanks to you both, I managed to create the rule directly in Asana. I’ve only a premium account, but I won’t use this rule more than 250 times a month.
Have a great day, and thanks again for your help

@Phil_Seeman I just started working with Flowsana email notifications. Is there a way to have the field merge not show up in the actual message when the field is blank? I am finding that the field name is in the actual message which may cause confusion.
TY
Hi @Yvette_Ledesma,
That doesn’t sound like something it should be doing. Can you go to a task where it left in the field name, use the “Copy task link” option on it, and send that task link back to us here? We can then take a look and see what’s going on. Thanks!
@Phil_Seeman sure! Happy to!

Support for custom task types
Flowsana now includes full automation support for custom task types: you can reference custom types and their custom statuses in Flowsana rule triggers, conditions, and actions.
Triggers:
You can trigger automations based on a task being created as or changed to a particular custom type, or a particular custom status.
Conditions:
You can filter automations to only run if a task is a particular custom type, or is a particular custom status.
Actions:
You can have an automation set a task to be a particular custom type (something that Asana rules cannot do!), or set a task as a particular custom status.

Wow… Can’t wait to try this out. @Phil_Seeman …
New to Flowsana and desperate for a few solutions that are critical to managing my workflow without losing my mind:
-
When a task status changes in Project A, I need to automatically create a new project from a template. The new project must be named according to specific text found in the name of the particular task that triggered its creation.
-
The project template needs to function so the project due date will auto-populate the due dates of each and every subtask within the project. The end result needs to be that every project automatically created will have a different name with identical tasks and subtasks each due based upon the specific project’s variable due date.
- All new projects created this way need to also land in a separate Project B that serves as a dashboard/hub for this bucket of work.
- This all needs to happen with as little manual interaction and as few steps as possible.
How does Flowsana achieve this?
Great to hear you’re using Flowsana! While I like to mention here in the forum when it can help people meet stated needs, we try to keep this forum focused on Asana support; for detailed Flowsana support conversations, the best thing is to contact us with these questions and we’re happy to answer; thanks!
