Introducing filters for Inbox ⭐️

Hi folks :wave:t3:

Today we’re excited to announce that we’re rolling out a new version of our Inbox, including 3 new filters that will help you focus on notifications that matter the most to you:

  1. Assigned to me
  2. @mentioned
  3. Assigned by me

To learn more about these new filters and how they work, you can have a look at this brand new article from our Guide: Asana Inbox | Product Guide • Asana Product Guide, and of course if you have any follow-up questions, please let us know, @Natalia and I will be more than happy to help!

This is our first shot at filters in Inbox, and our team will closely look into feedback over the next couple of weeks, so if you have any you’d like to be considered for future iteration, make sure to add them to our #productfeedback category!

Important note: we’re progressively rolling out this update, so if you don’t see it just yet in your account, no worries at all, it will be available to you within the next couple of days!

Have all a great Thursday,

@Marie

Is there any way I can fast-track this product update for my account? Our team is really needing this feature.

Hi @Alex_Graniere :wave:t3:

Unfortunately, we’re not sharing this info publicly, but the new Inbox filters are currently available to 50% of our users, and we’re hoping to roll it to the remaining 50% over the next couple of days, so it shouldn’t be long until you have access to it too!

Are there plans to update the email notifications too with the same options? Would love to only get email notifications with just “assigned to me” and “@mentioned

Definitely a step in the right direction! Is there any way to bulk archive already completed tasks within the inbox though?

Even with these filters, I’m seeing so many legacy/old tasks that were already completed mixed in with everything.

Truthfully, I wish we could just have “completed” tasks automatically archive from the inbox.

Thanks!
Alex

Hi @Vivian_Ritter, I don’t have any info on this topic, but I’ll loop you in as soon as I do!

Hi @abass, that’s not possible at the moment, but I’m aware of this conversation (Completed tasks notifications in the Inbox should be automatically archived - #13 by abass) and will make sure to keep you posted when I’ve an update!

3 posts were merged into an existing topic: Introducing our new Spreadsheet-Inspired List View!

Great improvement so far.

I would add another filter to only see new tasks added to projects and another one for completed task message. This would improve how fast I could manage my indox.

Thanks

True, I was also immediately looking for the bulk archive button (which existed before). :smiley:

But definitely a feature I desired for a long time.

Hi folks, quick update to let you know that we’re starting to roll out these filters to Mobile!

10% of Android users have already access to this features, and if it all goes well, all Android users will have access to this new feature by Nov 6.

iOS users will have to be a little more patient, we’re hoping to start rolling it out mid-November.

Let me know if you have any follow-up questions!

@Marie,

UPDATE: Disregard my message below. This feature has returned within my mobile app. I must have caught it at a unique time where it was temporarily disabled or unavailable shortly after the update. All is well! :wink:

Did this feature for iOS get rolled back? I had access within the past few days but no longer see the option to filter my inbox. The iOS app did just recently update. Thanks! :pray:

Hi @Marie, thanks for the update.
I really don’t understand WHY you didn’t put filters for:

  • teams
  • projects
  • assigners

And a search ONLY inside inbox.

I think that standard the ASANA user may have this behavior:

  • go to inbox
  • filter by TEAM / Project
  • check if he has something to do

Thanks
