Hey. … i’m a super N00b to Asana. I just have the free version for now … just taking a look to see if it’ll work for me and my team.

I have a small boutique hotel, and I have Asana creating a task at check-out for my Clean Team … the I need the sub tasks (ex: change linens, wash dishes, etc) add automatically according to which room they are cleaning.

Does anyone have experience with this? Should I have a project for each room? Can I auto-assign subtasks to a task when it has a specific tag … or … whatever …

I need help.

Automating things with subtasks is not that easy. @Phil_Seeman I always struggle to remember what Flowsana is able to do with subtasks?

Hi @Amanda-InnKeeper! Asana does not provide this capability. What you’d need is a rule trigger that acts based on adding a tag to a task; and a rule action that adds a set of subtasks based on that trigger. Asana has neither that trigger nor that action.

However, you _can_ do exactly this via an **If-Then Rule** in my [Flowsana](https://flowsana.net) integration 🙂. Flowsana has a rule condition/trigger for “Tag added to task”, and it has a rule action for “Add a set of subtasks copied from a template”. You can see [more info about how that action works here](https://forum.asana.com/t/flowsana-workflow-automation-for-your-asana-projects/40221/22).

Thanks. I’ll take a look. I’m not 100% I’m going to stick with Asana, it might not be the tool I thought it was. but i’ll take a look at Flowsana.

Thanks again.

Hi @Amanda-InnKeeper

Am curious to know how you eventually went around this, got this while looking around for exactly the same solution.

Thanks.

Hello @Tafadzwa_Ndamba

Welcome to the forum.

What is the use case you are after?  
Since this post was published 4 years ago, alot of new features have been introduced to asana with capabilities to use rules, automations, tiggers and conditionals.

Perhaps you can add some more details.

Thanks!

they freen version of asana doesn’t really let you automatre subtasks with tags, but there is a tool called flowsana that can do it. you can set it up so when you tag with a room number the right subtasks like changing linens or washing dishes get added automatically
