Set a reminder to tasks

Stacking Follow up tasks is not elegant, this would be much better.
Set date and time when notification shloud occur in inbox would be really nice.

This may be a bit late, but tagging you in case you still need reminders :slight_smile:

I have been wanting reminders for a while now too - so I went ahead and built an integration for it. It’s been really useful for me to quickly type “r Thursday 9am” on a task and get a reminder email. Maybe it could be useful for you, too? It’s in beta now, if you’d like to give it a try.

Not yet - but definitely possible! I’ll add that to the feature requests :+1:

I’d like to see a feature like this for Kanban boards: to use Rules to send a notification automatically, based on how long a card has been sitting in one column. (i.e. if card has not moved in x-days, notify person-x)

Asana seems dead set against creating your own reminder notifications at a set time — both email and push notifications. I don’t understand this position since it would be optional to use but I doubt we will ever get reminders. Meanwhile, am I the only one who finds the Inbox useless? It seems to contain everything so I may as well just look at projects. The Inbox could be useful if I could see only reminders for my upcoming and overdue tasks and turn off all other activity.

Hi! Wouldn’t it be a good idea to be able to set reminders for task in Asana? I know that normally it doesn’t work like this, but it would ve very helpful. EXAMPLE: Lets say I need to pick up some new prints for a client today, I would creat a task that says: pick up prints. But what if i would like a reminder at 10 am? because i know that at that time I will probably be out doing other stuff and it would be great if asana can help me by allowing me to create a reminder for the task at a time that I choose, or even a reminder of an important task set to the day before. I wouldn’t have to use two apps to organize my work, and it would simplify things.

I second the recommendation to be able to set a notification based on how long a task has been in a certain column of the Kanban board. This would be a huge asset as we track how customers are moving through a set of tasks/stages in their journey.

Hi folks,

I’m delighted to announce that we launched new rules triggers for tasks with a due date approaching or overdue. You can now use these triggers to add a reminder comment to your tasks or adjust due dates. More info in this public announcement → New triggers for Rules: “Due date is approaching” and “Task is Overdue”
