How do I set up notifications (email or iPhone) to alert me of upcoming due tasks?

[Natalia_Roubicek]

I know how to receive notifications for when due dates are changed, but I would love to receive an email for when a due date is coming up for a task I was assigned to. For instance, if a task has a due date of this Friday, April the 9th, I would like to set it up to send me a reminder the Wednesday before the due date to remind me that it needs to get done. I only receive notices when due dates have passed.

Welcome, @Natalia_Roubicek,

You could use a subset (or all) of my recommendations here:

Your Simple (or Advanced) Strategy for Asana’s My Tasks

Note: Most recent article update: April 2025 I’ve just published the article linked above to Medium (free access). I hope both existing Asana users grappling with My Tasks version 2 (currently being deployed), as well as new users to Asana, will check it out because it was written with all of you in mind. This comprehensive article on My Tasks: Outlines a simple but highly functional My Tasks setup with brief, step-by-step setup and use instructions, Explores an advanced My Tasks approach…

That will generate changes in your My Tasks and maybe you won’t even need the email notifications. But if you want those too, I think you could modify the rules to send you an email as well.

Thanks,

Larry
