For rules built around upcoming due dates, I want to move all tasks with a due date in the next 7 days to a section in a project. The challenge is sometimes tasks are added with due dates sooner than 7 days out, and so the rule needs to take that into consideration. For example, I might create a task with a due date of three days from now, when the workflow rule runs at midnight local time, I want to ensure that is caught and moved into the section even though it’s due sooner than 7 days.
For now, I have “OR” logic in the rule where if task due date is today, or 1 day out, or 2 days out, etc. then move into the section ‘Tasks Due in Next 7 Days’ - see screenshot below
So basically, just wondering if how I have it setup is the best practice or if there is some sort of way with rules to say if due date is 7 days or less, then move into the section.

Hi @Ben_Brenner, thanks for reaching out!
At this time, an “if due date is 7 days or less” trigger doesn’t exist however, I believe your current Rule setup does achieve this (but in a roundabout way).
I’ve gone ahead and moved your post to #productfeedback category to give you and other users the opportunity to vote for this feature request 
Hopefully this is something our Product team can bring to life in the future - I’ll keep you posted

Hi Rebecca,
What about the rule when the due date is next week? I do not want to see for the next 7 days, but all tasks for the full next week.

Hey, did you find out how to automatically move tasks to a section called “Next Week”? I looked through this forum and you asked for the same thing that I’m looking for. Thanks!
No, I could not find it. ASANA is like a rolling horizon. The concept of a “week” does not really exist e.g. Tasks belonging to week A and others belong to Week B.

So this is possible in Trello (easily) but not here… I love Asanas calendar view but hate that none of what I might call basic date time mechanics are really functional in Automation… just manually… and quite frankly I came here for more automation in my live and this is a big inhibitor.
Trellos Rule looks some thing like this :
every day at 12:01 am, move each card due in between 7 and 14 days to list “Looking out to next week”
There are things about Trello I don’t like also … but man I could get the Asana Calendar in Trello I would ditch this 100% .
Guessing since its only April of '23 now … .nothing has been changed per the above … so upvoted and still hoping for a better future in Asana Automation.

FYI @Ron_Davis1, the date-based rules in our Flowsana integration do work like this: if you specify for example “due in 14 days”, that’s evaluated as “due within 14 days”.
