Send an e-mail when a task is completed to mac os mail

[adrian_blanaru]

might be a stupid question but here it is.

I still need to send an e-mail when i complete a task (with title, and description) to my colleagues bunch of adresses…that still want/need to check they mail on Mac OS or Outlook.

wondering if I can somehow automate this very annoying part of copy paste a completed task and send an mail.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hi @adrian_blanaru,

You could accomplish that using Zapier; see this forum post for more info:

Auto email notification to someone outside project team once task is marked complete

Hi @Robert.skelton, This capability isn’t available within Asana itself. I will likely add the ability to send email as a Flowsana feature in the future; it’s not in the current beta. You could do this using Zapier. For sending the email, you’d either have to use their own email sending capability in which the email comes from noreply@zapiermail.com, or you’d need to set up an account at one of the transactional mail services they support; here is a list of those.

Thank you @Phil_Seeman I’ll have a look into zapier, wondering if I can use no extra apps just my native mail and some python skills plus asana api.

Thank you !

Ah, well, yes, if you want to code something yourself, that type of thing is definitely possible! You can know via the API when a task is marked complete and then take whatever action you code, such as sending an email. You can use either events or webhooks to know when a task changes.
