Use rules to send emails from Outlook

Hi everyone,

I’m excited to share that we have updated our Outlook + Asana integration to include the “Send Email” action in our automation toolkit! :tada:

With this update, you can now set up rules to automatically send emails from your Outlook account with customizable subject lines, bodies, and attachments.

Use variables to auto-populate email recipients (e.g., task assignee), subject lines, and email bodies (e.g., task description). Choose from various triggers, such as when a task is no longer blocked or a due date is approaching, to let the rules send emails with your custom message automatically!

Configure “Send Email” app action with variables:

variables

Asana link in the email footer:

Sent emails will include an Asana link in the email footer, making it easier to quickly access tasks directly from the inbox.

Sent email becomes a task attachment:

Sent emails are saved as attachments within their respective tasks, providing easy reference and convenient access directly from Asana.
