Question: anyone have a tool for bulk unfollowing stuff?

[Robert-Stuttaford]

We have several senior people who can’t use Asana any more due to inbox bankruptcy. Was wondering if anyone is aware of a script or a tool that’ll allow us to systematically unfollow everything in their account, so that they can start again.

I realise I can build this myself via the API, but wondering if perhaps it’s not been done already?

Thank you!

Hi @Robert-Stuttaford, thanks for reaching out!

You can bulk unfollow tasks using the Advanced Search feature, @lpb has shared a great workaround here:

Control the Inbox

@Claude1, I see the frustration. Until these kinds of customizations are added, you can vastly reduce your manual work as follows: At whatever frequency you want (daily, multiple times per day, weekly), do these two steps in order: Triage your Inbox (this will be much easier after you start!) Click on this report (which you have created once for subsequent use) (assumes a paid Asana plan): [image] and multi-select all the results (50 max) and remove yourself as collaborator. Step 1 ensures…

When you multi-select your tasks, you need to select “Add collaborators” and then you will have the option to remove a specific user as collaborator of all tasks selected:

1. 

2. 

Unfortunately this doesn’t work for Conversations but I think this is possible with Flowsana, @Phil_Seeman can you confirm?

Lastly, I suggest you to add your vote to this thread Global follow-unfollow option and notifications if you wish to have this feature in Asana!

I hope this helps!

Alas Flowsana won’t help with this particular scenario.

Thanks for confirming @Phil_Seeman!
