Option for Rules to run on a daily, weekly, monthly basis

English Forum Product Feedback

Hi !
So let me explain you my situation. I’m actually creating a “Template board” that could be use everytime we start a new project. So i’m actually setting all the sections and all the rules for this board.

Our tasks sections are set by week: To do this week - to do next week - to do in 2 weeks - etc etc. But here is my problem. Asana is working with “days before the due date”. However, i would like to create a rule that will permit every task to change automatically of section at the end of every week. Do you know if there is a way to implement this ? I thought that maybe it was possible to create a “week calendar” on Asana and then use it to adjust.

Feel free to share your thoughts :slight_smile: Thanks in advance for your help !

Hi @Rodolphe_Vito, welcome to the Asana Community Forum :wave:

Thanks for providing this feedback!

While this feature isn’t available right now, hopefully it’s something our Product team can implement in the future.

I’ll keep you posted and let you know if we have any updates :slight_smile:

I keep thinking that if we could have a “day of the week” trigger (instead of “due date is approaching”) that would solve most of what I"m looking for.

Seconding the need for a rule trigger based on frequency (daily, weekly, monthly). I utilize a section within “My Tasks” to create a set of tasks I want to do that day, and it would be great to have them automatically go back into a different bucket each day.

Hi Rebecca, I’m looking for a similar solution to customizing My Task sections. Could you post an update here if there is one now?

I’m in the same situation. Perhaps Asana needs to track their own tasks properly as this is outstanding from 2022…

Also adding my support for this - it’s a pretty fundamental option for automation that would enable a lot of functionality. I can’t see that it would be particularly resource-taxing, either, if the recurrence is at most daily.

With the new AI studio feature, this will become extremely powerful!

It would be great to be able to trigger rules based on a schedule, and not just events, e.g. daily/ weekly/ monthly at X time, i.e. the options you have when scheduling a repeating meeting.

I am looking for a functionality that allows a rule to trigger based on calendar dates.
For example: When… Every 3 Days, Check if… Task is past due, Do this… Add a comment asking for an update.

This would allow for some great automation and remove a lot of the task babysitting that leaders often have to do on Asana.

@Jeffrey_Marler - I moved your post (and vote) to the existing topic for this feature. Hopefully Asana will consider it.

I’m surprised this isn’t a feature already. This is something I did in Trello and I expected the same would be possible in Asana because it’s such a simple feature (and a pretty logical request). Can we get an update about prioritization?
