Hi all - I am interested in creating a rule that would trigger a completely new task once a form is filled out. So the rule would be “Trigger = New task added to project” and “Action = assign new task (with an ability to add description etc)”. Does anyone have a work around for this since it isn’t currently a capability? ---

Hi @Chandler_Ferguson, You could accomplish this using [Zapier](https://zapier.com/). ---

Unfortunately I am at my max for the free Zapier and didn’t have intentions of upgrading. Was hoping their was an internal workaround. Thanks, Phil! ---

Hi folks, I’m excited to share that you can now create tasks, milestones and approvals with tasks 🥳 Choose a trigger or combination of triggers, and Asana will create the task when the rule runs. You can pre-select the task name, assignee, relative due date, and more. Please note this update is currently available to 50% of our customers and will go live for everyone by the end of the day. To create a task with a rule: 1. Navigate to Customize in the top-right corner of your project 2. Click + Add rule, then Create custom rule 3. Choose a trigger or combination of triggers 4. When the trigger is selected, click the Actions tab 5. Under Create new, select Task ![Capture d’écran 2022-11-17 à 12.15.42](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/asana/original/3X/b/6/b68211f58d331a0fc53e3f5e9bcaabb10294f5fc.png) ![Capture d’écran 2022-11-17 à 12.15.53](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/asana/original/3X/3/4/34c8112d9c794b3fdbc56a99bf17efe72d26831f.png)
