Hi All! I am looking for the best practice to send an email update to someone from within Asana directly from my Gmail. I don’t want it to appear as a task to the person or them to know that I am sending out of asana per 'se. I would just like it to appear as a normal email. Is this a possibility?
Hi @Brittany_Astorga - thanks for reaching out! Let me check that I understand you correctly - are you trying to send an email update from Asana? If you have a Business account or above, it is now possible to trigger an email being sent to Gmail as a result of an action in Asana:
However, the recipient will see that the item has been sent from Asana. See guide article here. I hope this helps!

Hi @Brittany_Astorga , on the other hand, I understood that you want to send an email to people in Asana as (private?) meesages - unfortunately this not currently possible.
However you can send emails to groups of people who belong to a team or a project in Asana!
Have a look at the Asana guide article here: Turning emails into Asana tasks | Product guide • Asana Product Guide
Hope you find that useful! 
Thank you for your reply. We were looking for the not currently possible option. Just looking to link emails to tasks without copying and pasting.

Hi @Brittany_Astorga, it now sounds like you are looking for the opposite of the topic… 
Have you tried the Gmail Add-on?
