One of the many things that people use email for is to send invitation for a meeting. While Asana might be great at running a meeting, I find that it doesn’t do so well at schedualing one. First, I can not set period of time when the meeting is. It does only have due time but no start time. While I…

Some good ideas here. We would like to replace our Outlook based workflow with Asana but it is very painful with the lack of functionality mentioned above

Completely agree, this was the first brick wall we hit when trying out asana. To me it feels like a few simple mods could solve the issue: Make it possible to assign multiple people and/or teams to a task (the meeting) Or Add task type “Meeting”. With all the above mentioned functionality.

We’re looking at a migration from TODOIST to Asana. But this is a huge issue. Asana doesn’t have a way of scheduling the same meeting across multiple users? Really? I’ve spent the last couple of hours trying to find a way. If I’m working in TODOIST, I will leave the task unassigned, and then every…

Could you create a task, assign it to someone (it doesn’t really matter who), add attendees as collaborators, and create some kind of “trigger” so that it appears in everyone’s Inbox? That trigger could be something like completing the task, adding a comment, etc.

Hi @Andrew_Perrins , I too think it’s good to start as @Drew_Shannon suggested–create a task where you pre-add all attendees as collaborators so you can make updates (like to agenda, attachments) that all will get notified of. After that, as an alternative to the "trigger’ suggestion, you could do …

Thanks Drew and Larry, I’m not concerned about having the meeting appear in someone’s inbox. I want them to see it in their “My Tasks” to help them plan their day and not miss the meeting! The only solution I have for this is to create a task or sub-task “Attend meeting” and duplicate the task for …

To confirm: from what you are saying, the way I would schedule a one-off meeting in Asana is: Create a task which describes the issue to be discussed. Create a sub-task in the format “Attend Meeting” and give it a date/time. Duplicate the sub-task, assigning it to each attendee. So for a 4 man me…

I think this starts to get into a bit of a tricky situation in terms of what the user expects vs. what the Product is designed to do. In this specific case, what you call an everyday requirement, is what others may call a “nice-to-have”. (for example, I’ve never thought about, much less requested, …

Drew and Larry, thank you for helpful comments, which I really appreciate. Drew, I don’t wish to be unfair to Asana - but surely one of the key reasons for using Asana is to give you a task list and help you plan your day/week? If so, then this really is an everyday requirement. We don’t want to b…
