🏖️ Managing holidays and time off with Flowsana

While Asana’s native features are great, handling public holidays, PTO, or off-site days still requires a lot of manual work - and if you forget to update a task’s due date? Deadlines slip without warning.

That’s where Flowsana, by @Phil_Seeman, comes in - a fantastic 3rd party app for Asana, that does wonders!

Flowsana has the ability to check a task’s due date against public holidays or whether a user is on PTO / OOO / leave on that date, and in turn, send a comment or even shift the due date to the next available date, automatically!

I’ve put together a complete guide on how to use Flowsana to:
:star: Import a free project, listing all your country’s public holidays
:white_check_mark: Setup your own ‘Holidays’ project to track your team’s time off
:white_check_mark: Automatically shift due dates when they fall on public holidays or during someone’s time off
:white_check_mark: Notify the task collaborators with a custom comment

It’s a game-changer if you want to keep your timelines clean and your workflows conflict-free - without doing it all manually.

This is fantastic! :clap::clap::clap: One question: for companies operating in multiple territories, how would you suggest they reflect that? (Would they just have to manually add all employees to every holiday in their region?

Hi @Stephen_Li , thank you!

Great question - yes, I would setup a ‘holiday’ project for each region containing relevant holidays and time off tasks for relevant members that could be multi-homed using rules by leveraging a single-select ‘Region’ field.

This field could be introduced in a ‘Time-off / Leave request’ form so the submitters fills that in so the task gets routed accordingly.
