Making it easy to notify multiple people

@Robert_Tolmach, Thanks for doing that.

  1. When you create a task in a project, project members will be notified if they check the Tasks Added checkbox in Share button > Manage Notifications. Instead of a task, you can create a new project Conversation–initially it will be seen by all project members, but unless you or someone manually adds Collaborators, they won’t see subsequent replies.

  2. Not possible with a task. Consider: create a new team Conversation–initially it will be seen by all team members, but unless you or someone manually adds Collaborators, they won’t see subsequent replies.

  3. You’d have to use 2. above.

  4. @mentions work for one Asana member or guest at a time. You can also @mention tasks, conversations, projects, and teams–those entities themselves; not people, so those won’t help you.

  5. You can create one or more “model” tasks, one time add all collaborators you want (maybe one for all in a team, another for all in the company, and then anytime you want to create a new task based on it, use Duplicate Task in the task’s context menu or Task Detail “. . .” overflow menu.

  6. You might want to search How to use Asana, Asana tutorials, onboarding tips, and team use cases | Product guide • Asana Product Guide for Notifications, Mentions, etc. to learn more.

FYI…if you’re asking about how features work, usecases and #tipsandtricks are good categories; if you’re are making a request, use #productfeedback.

I hope that helps,

Larry
