I’m trying to create a link that would point to a user’s My Task list, but I need a single link that works for any user. If I go to My Tasks in Asana, I see a URL like Log in - Asana … but that 012345678901234 part is specific to me. I wonder if there is a URL that would take any user to their own My Task list, and not a specific user’s.

Hey @MPrewitt, glad you asked 
. We’re very close to launching a suite of endpoints for My Task Lists! This includes an endpoint that returns a My Task List for a specified user. Let me know if this is what you are looking for.
Keep an eye out for a launch announcement for these endpoints here on the community forum.

I’m not wanting a My Task list link for a specific user, but a generalized URL that would cause Asana to open to My Tasks for any user who clicked on it (showing their own tasks for each of those users, not someone else’s My Tasks).
@MPrewitt thanks for the clarification. Unfortunately, the web product does not have this functionality currently.
OK, thanks for the update. I guess this becomes a feature request then, for something like a dest_url parameter (destination URL), that would accept “My Tasks” as an option.

Is there a way yet to link to asana.com/my-tasks so it is the same link for every person but different task list (based on their login)?
We are trying to post the link to a shared channel in slack where everyone can click on it daily to see their tasks, but we haven’t found a way to do it. It seems we have 50+ links instead of one link.

Hi @Kevin_Triemstra,
No, every My Tasks list has a unique global id so each one’s link will be different.
+1 for this feature! I run a web agency and my clients barely know how to navigate Asana, and usually have only a handful of tasks at any given time. If I had an asana.com/my-tasks link, this would make my life soooo much easier.
Seems like a fairly easy feature to implement 
Coming from an agency owner, that’s surprising to say that 
don’t you hate it when your clients say it?

Haha, fair point! I actually had this thought as I typed it out, but went with it anyways.
In defense of my statement, we’re talking about a URL redirect based on one piece of dynamic data (the unique string ID associated with the “My tasks” view URL). There’s nothing in terms of the UI that needs to be changed or anything.
Of course I’m not in the source code and I know there’s always more to it than the seemingly simple changes, but overall my argument still holds some weight in comparison to some other feature requests floating out there.
My 2 cents.
