This hack I leave alone; these due messages are useful, at least some of the time.
What would be nice for us at ShipRise (translate “essential”) is a way to turn of the flood of
“Madam Scheduler changed the due date on One of Your Many Tasks to Feb 31. Since you’re waiting on that task, consider updating your task’s due date accordingly.”
Since we never schedule our own due dates, this is a superfluous annoyance, to the point that some of our team members now refuse to look at their Inbox, causing them to miss important team member comments.
One more line on the Hacks tab, please. Just one more line.
Confused by Niel’s comment and the solved response. He is talking about Facebook and his “today” list. I simply want to get my tasks OUT of my inbox. Ever am, I review my tasks and adjust dates. Then I go to inbox and see the same tasks again.
If I go to hacks and turn on Disable Notifications for Tasks Starting & Due Today does this mean that I will still see it in mytasks but not in inbox?
Would really, really love to see an option to turn on notifications only for those items assigned with a due time, according to that due time. Or, have the option for notifications set on the tasks themselves. I can’t do anything productive with an onslaught of 25 reminders when I’m first waking up, but an option for a reminder at the time I’m meant to actually complete a task is what I truly wish were available.

First of all thanks for adding the hack! It seems that when this turned on, the notifications indeed do not appear in Inbox, but they seem to also stop popping up notifications on mobile. For me, due today tasks should still pop up as notification to have my attention, while still not showing up in Inbox.

I’d like to see the notification hack broken out in two options.
- Tasks due today
- Tasks Scheduled to begin today with date ranges
I would like to see tasks with date ranges show up to notify me to begin working on it, especially since Asana organizes My Tasks more by due date (either with Due Today, Upcoming, Later or in my case I keep it sorted by Due Date) so the beginning of the range is not visible until the task comes up due. I don’t need to see tasks in my inbox that are due today, since I can see those in My Tasks

I would also like to see a feature that lets you turn off Inbox notifications for tasks due today.
If users decide to keep these Inbox notifications on, I think they should consolidate (same way as when you get 1 consolidated notification when someone adds new tasks to a project). i.e. you should see “these tasks are due today” as a list, rather than every task as its own notification. That way you can more quickly archive and manage your Inbox.
@Justine_D, Are you aware of this in My Profile Settings > Hacks:
Disable Notifications for Tasks Starting & Due Today
Stop receiving notifications in your Inbox for tasks starting or due today.
Hope that helps,
Laryr

Yes, thank you! I saw that hack mentioned earlier in this thread and turned it on, but I agree with @Kelsie_Mitchell that I still may want to be notified if a task with a range is scheduled to begin today.
I also just wanted to add my vote (and the second half of my comment) to the product feedback thread, because hacks are unsupported features and these can break or disappear – I think this should be permanent feature.
