I’m trying to streamline our email campaign workflow using task templates in Asana. Ideally, I’d like to set subtask due dates based on the main task’s due date (which is the email send date). For example:
Write copy → 3–4 weeks before send date
Design graphics → 2.5–3 weeks before
Build in HubSpot → 2 weeks before
Approvals → 1.5 weeks before
Final review → 1 week before
Schedule/send → on the due date
But when I try to set subtask due dates in the template, Asana only lets me choose “X days after task is created,” not relative to the due date. This doesn’t work well for scheduled emails that are planned far in advance.
Has anyone found a good workaround for this?
Do you use naming conventions, manual scheduling, or third-party tools to solve this?
Would love to hear how others are handling this kind of timeline-based workflow. Thanks in advance!
