Hi We are an agency and we have our clients in “comment only” on their projects we need clients to be able to ask for new requests, but what is the best way to do this ? we thought about creating a task “Clients requests” where they can comment with every new request they have but what do you recommend for this ? thank you ---

Hello @anon76280028, I recommend using Asana forms for this. More info [here](https://help.asana.com/hc/en-us/articles/14111033233947-Forms). Is available for the plans Premium, Business, Enterprise. This way they could easily submit new requests without giving them edit access to your project/s. If you need recommendations/ideas on what is the best way to work with external clients you can also find some helpful info [here](https://forum.asana.com/t/working-with-external-clients/252918). ---

thank you i never tried forms but on the other hand i would like to be able to easily find all requests history on a project client and be able to reply (like on a task discussion) is that possible with forms ? thank you (by the way i saw this topic will close after 7 days, why ? i would like this topic to remain open in case anyone has some interesting comment even in 6 months 🙂 thank you) ---

> [@anon76280028](#): > > is that possible with forms ? Yes definitely. I recommend to read through the guide I shared which has all the information on how to create forms and how they work. Once somebody submits a request via a form a task is created in Asana and then you can comment, edit and everything else. You can also set up rules that trigger only for tasks that are created via a form submission for example. > [@anon76280028](#): > > (by the way i saw this topic will close after 7 days, why ? i would like this topic to remain open in case anyone has some interesting comment even in 6 months 🙂 thank you) We usually close topics when a relevant answer/solution was posted, however people can still comment 🙂 I also recommend to use the search function on the forum to find more ideas/tips shared by other users such as [this](https://forum.asana.com/t/how-to-streamline-how-we-receive-client-feedback/109155) or [this](https://forum.asana.com/t/should-i-insist-on-all-requests-being-a-asana-task/109859) and more. I hope that helps ---

Thank you, i will test it 🙂 i wonder how other agencies deal with clients requests do they all use asana forms ? also how do i add link to the form, can i add a button “new form” or “new request” on the client project ? (rather than simply send the link by email) thank you ---

> [@anon76280028](#): > > i wonder how other agencies deal with clients requests > > do they all use asana forms ? Many use forms yes, others give agencies access directly to the project. Depends on your preferred way. In the first response I shared [a link to a post](https://forum.asana.com/t/working-with-external-clients/252918) with different ways of dealing with clients. > [@anon76280028](#): > > also how do i add link to the form, can i add a button “new form” or “new request” on the client project ? (rather than simply send the link by email) You will be able to share the link to the form or you can also embed it on a website. And yes sure you can also create a task where you add the Asana form link. > [@anon76280028](#): > > how can i set that the automatic task created with a form goes to a specific task section ? You can create this via rules. ![Screenshot_1115](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/asana/original/3X/5/3/531aa36af0a340d2185868497333003a36c44733.png) > [@anon76280028](#): > > i noticed i dont receive any email notification when a client fills a new form (creating a task), how can i receive email notification ? Best to check your notification settings in the project then: [https://help.asana.com/hc/en-us/articles/14249899700379-Email-notifications](https://help.asana.com/hc/en-us/articles/14249899700379-Email-notifications) Otherwise what you can do as well is trigger a comment via a rule. ![Screenshot_1118](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/asana/original/3X/e/0/e018ef1c2e55b4fba6a684324d2fbc13addfa23e.png) ---
