FYI Flowsana’s new hashtag automation feature lets you easily set the due date when emailing a task into Asana, just by including the due date anywhere in the email body with a hashtag.
You can specify the date in a wide variety of ways: in addition to typing a date in a format like #12/28 or #June 15, you can also type a natural-language phrase for the date, like #tomorrow, #next Wed, #in 2 weeks, etc.
Flowsana generally recognizes date phrases in the following languages:
- English
- Spanish
- French
- German
- Portuguese
- Chinese (simplified)
You can also include a time-of-day in your date phrase to set the task’s due date to a specific time.
In addition to the due date, hashtag automation also lets you set other elements of a task, again just by using hashtags in the email body:
- Tags
- An assignee
- Additional projects
