Happy Thursday everybody
We are aware this is a very popular topic among the community, so first of all thank you to everyone who voted and submitted ideas to improve email notifications.
In order for us to gain more clarity on what matters the most to you among all ideas listed here, we have decided to split this main thread into different sub-threads. I’ve listed them below and I would highly encourage you to cast your vote on the ones which you consider the most important. To avoid any confusion, I’m closing this main thread, but please note that we’ve kept track of all votes and comments submitted here and will use them as part of our next Voice of Customer report!
Currently the “Send me email notifications for:” setting only has three options:
Activity updates
a. New tasks assigned to you, @mentions, and completion notifications for tasks you’re a collaborator on
Daily summaries
Weekly reports
As an Asana user that is connected to numerous tasks in Asana,
I want the ability to further limit the individual Activity Updates that create email notifications,
So that I am not receiving too many emails,
And can be productive using Asana.
Assumptions:

I get a lot of email from Asana, and some are more important to me than others. I really want to see new comments on tasks, especially if I’m tagged in the comment. But if someone changes the due date, or moves a task to a new column in a board, that’s less urgent.
I would like to be able to use gmail filters to put some notifications at the top of my inbox, and bury others. But Asana makes this hard to do because the emails all look the same - there doesn’t seem to be a foolproof way to ide…
Can there be a feature added where we can select to only receive email notifications on task we have been tagged in (and that’s it)? Right now we get emails for everything and the email notifications are still the easiest to review items over the inbox on Asana.
I don’t want emails regarding all updates to the task I’m automatically following. Just when I’ve been tagged.
I am tagged on every creative project (and I am not the Creative Director). This results in dozens of emails every day. I have turned off my email notifications and am notified using the app.
I would like to suggest a setting that allows us to be notified a certain number of times/day; perhaps, in a bulk email.
Thank you!
Whenever someone begins creating a task and assigns(which is the designed layout - “Task Name” followed by “assignee”), it INSTANTLY sends out an email notification before the description is even finished.
Is there a way to delay the sending of the email notification or only send email notification upon finishing the task creation?
As an Asana user, I want to be able to have advanced email notification settings that give me better control of the frequency I receive updates about different projects and tasks.
Not every project that I follow or am involved in is equal on my priority list. I want to make sure that I get instant updates on some projects/tasks, and only daily/weekly/monthly updates on others.
Currently, I can only choose a global email notification setting, which means that high prio updates get lost in a pi…
Hi there!
First off, I really love Asana. Great product.
I think the email notifications need some work. For example, if someone leaves a comment on a task assigned to you, the email subject reads:
Assigned to You: {taskTitle} [{taskBoard}] [{taskBoard}]
This gives me no idea that the reason for the notification is “There is a new comment.”
Secondly, let’s look at the hierarchy of this notification:

The actual thing I care about, the comment’s mess…
It would be nice to have an option to turn off email notifications when importing a CSV.
For example: I am uploading a loooong list of task items from a team meeting (because we used excel before Asana) to help with onboarding. This has everyone assigned already in the excel document. So instead of them getting 50-100 emails, I had to start a conversation to tell them to turn it off manually for a day or two.
It would help if there was an option to not alert them via email for this big impo…
I would like to see a Notifications Quiet Times feature added to Asana. This has been suggested before and didn’t get traction. I’m hoping this one will get traction because this feature is greatly needed.
Specifically, I would like to see the ability to set working hours, per user, where notifications are sent via email and/or push notification. Outside of those hours, notifications go to the Inbox only. The feature should also honor vacation/away schedules.
Many of our users (myself inclu…
It would help a lot if there was an option to enable email notifications for tasks that reached a due date.
Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts with us; we look forward to sharing some exciting news on this topic!
