Hi everyone,
I’m looking for a way to use native integrations to streamline how we move support requests from Slack to Asana.
My Goal: I want to start a request in Slack and have that data automatically flow into an Asana Form. Specifically, I’d like to:
-
Capture the Request Name and Requester Name within Slack.
-
Open an Asana Form that is already pre-populated with that information.
-
Include the Slack Thread/Channel URL in an Asana field so the assignee can easily jump back to the conversation to provide updates or ask questions.
My Question: Is it possible to natively pre-populate Asana form fields using data gathered from a Slack Workflow? If so, how can I dynamically pass the Slack thread link into a specific Asana form field?
This should be possible using Slack’s Workflows. The only difference is it won’t actually fill in an Asana form but will create a task that captures the details that you want. (Alternately, you could build a proper form in Slack and then use Workflow to send form submission details to Asana)
You’ll need to connect Asana to Slack, obviously, and then build a workflow that starts based on the behavior in Slack that you want to capture (eg, When a message is posted to a specific channel or when a message contains a specific word/emoji) then Create a Task in Asana and send it to whichever project you want to use to track these things.
Once the task is in Asana you can obviously add any additional rules/behaviors that you’d like to make it useful for your team.

Thanks! I appreciate your comments. I am still working on it, I am looking to avoid double work and don´t miss any data between both applications.
Thanks again for the guidance.
