Hi @Austin_Schmidt! Thanks for providing so much detail. This helps me cater my recommendations to your needs.
It sounds like youād really benefit from Asanaās reporting tools [<-- see link], specifically a mix of Dashboards and Advanced Search. First, you can view the high level progress of your teamās work and their various projects by creating a unique dashboard for yourself. See how to set up My Dashboard here. If youād like to know what specific people on your team are working on, I recommend you create advanced search views and save them so you can reference them from your sidebar. For example, if youād like to know what tasks the CEO and President have coming up in the next 3 days, you could create an advanced search for tasks assigned to them that are due within the next 3 days:
I recommend that you save the search result by clicking the star at the top left of the search results, which will keep the search in your sidebar. Then, you can rename the saved search so itās easier to access in your sidebar. This search wonāt give you special alerts, but youāll certainly be able to keep track of upcoming tasks if you make a habit of visiting the saved search on a regular basis.
Iām just looking for the same function! Some of my tasks take me a few days to finish, so it would be really important for me to set an earlier reminder so as not to rush the deadline.
I donāt understand how you can create a task management tool without a reminder feature?! I am not using Asana anymore and Iām shifting to Reminders app on MAC. Which is a dreadful experience too.
I completely agree that this is a necessary task for our grant project workflows. For example, I am a project manager on several grants who needs to coordinate the creation, drafts, and final submission of deliverables for grant reporting. This happens at various times during the year for each project, but itās not enough times that it makes sense to add running reports to my weekly or daily workflow. If all members assigned to a task receive an email alert to begin working on a grant deliverable three months before its due, it saves me and them multiple steps as well as helps ensure piece of mind.
I agree 100% that without a simple reminder tool this program is not very helpful for me. Though my company uses it for group projects, I just use Google calendar for my own stuff because I need flexible reminders.
+1 Agreed. We need reminders when something is overdue. This is also for the stakeholder who may not be assigned any tasks but needs to know which items are late and why.
Do you integrate Asana with a Calendar app like Google Calendar or Outlook? If so, you can simply create reminders to your flexibility within the calendar app. Although still would be nice to have this direct within Asana.
Would also be great to be able to have a trigger for apps like Zapier so you could configure a Due Date reminder to slack or other Apps.
Also super critical for us. I need to be able to follow up if I see something isnāt moving forward and this would help with that. I see thereās been interest in this feature for over 3 years. Any update here?
Hi all! Iām Nicole, a Product Manager at Asana. Weād like to invite you to participate in some research around how our customers get time-sensitive work done.
Weāre curious to learn what you need so we can build features to help you get your work done on time! If youāre interested, please fill out this form and weāll reach out to schedule a chat if youāre a match for the study.

Thank you in advance for sharing your thoughts with our team and helping us make Asana better for you!
FYI, using the new date rules feature of my Flowsana integration, itās now possible to have email reminders sent, or custom fields, tags, etc. set on tasks, based on a due date - for example, when the task is due in 3 months, when itās 5 days past due, etc.
Hey everyone! Iāve been experiencing a lack of ādue dateā push-notifications functionality as well for a long time, so I decided to solve that problem and finally developed a Chrome extension for that! Please, try it out, and if you have some questions or suggestions, feel free to reach me out by my facebook
Hi all and thank you so much for all the feedback you shared on this thread. Iām delighted to announce that weāre launching two new rule triggers allowing you to automatically add a comment to your upcoming tasks so you get notified of them via your Inbox and/or with email notifications. More info in the following announcement: New triggers for Rules: āDue date is approachingā and āTask is Overdueā
