Integration with other apps that can "send" tasks to Asana

I’m new to Asana, have previously used Things 3 and am a bit stuck with the lack of options in Asana for repeating tasks. Things 3 allows everything you can think of including repeat yearly on the first Monday etc. Since I can’t do this in Asana, is there any way to keep my tasks in another app (with good repeating task options) and then “send” them to Asana? I looked at using Apple Shortcuts or email to do this manually (from Things), but neither option lets you select details in Asana such as the project.

Hello @Bec_C

Welcome to the forum.

Can you please explain what is it you cannot do in asana in terms of repeated tasks?
Are you aware of the option to have tasks auto populated when they are to be repeated at certain intervals.

Here is the link to the guide where you can find details on recurring tasks:

Thanks @Rashad_Issa. Yes I know you can have repeating tasks, the problem is that Asana doesn’t have all the options I need. For example, I can’t have:

  • repeat every year on the first Monday in May
  • repeat every six months on the last Friday
    (you can repeat monthly on a certain weekday, but not every x months)
  • repeat 2 months after completion (the max is 30 days)
    etc etc

Yes, you are right. The most recent update is the periodic repeat but it wont give you what you are after.

Here is an open product feedback which I suggest you upvote at the top of it.

Thanks!
