Hello,
I am working on a new Onboarding workflow for new staff. Is it possible to use Asana to send an automatic email to a non Asana user whenever a new task has been added. Basically I would like to set up a rule where a trainer gets notified of the new employee’s arrival date so they can schedule training. These trainers are not in Asana and do not need to be for any reason, they only need a notification email.
I see you can use Outlook to send tasks to Asana so was wondering if the reverse was true also.
The Asana connector in the MS power platform is really robust. The connector allows a fair amount of customization with little to no code. It’s a great solution if you plan on running additional actions along side the email notification.
We were researching this integration before the new year, and were interested in it’s ability to answer emails from Asana. We would be very interested if an alternative is discovered, or if the developer status changes.
I just found a way (with some help) to connect Asana to Integromat to an Outlook account and it is sending formatted emails with custom fields when a new project is added and to our clients when we complete a task!
Bravo, @anon11836725! I bet a number of us would benefit by learning how you did it, if it was possible to pass along any tips (maybe that’s not so easily done but if so, I’m sure many of us would be appreciative).
In my case, I have a zap setup that watches for events on task (usually multi-homed into a trigger project) and then Zapier uses my Gmail/Mailjet account to send an email to the client specified in a custom field with a pre-defined message
Hi Bastien, can it pickup the client email from custom field and email to that email a pre-defined template or maybe even pickup additional custom field data and add it to that email for the client email?
So Asana had gmail intergration out of the box for rules, we’ve now moved to a full microsoft stack and our previous rules are broken and doesnt look like there is a replacement for outlook - any updates?
Our company is strictly Microsoft and is looking to create a rule that will send a message from Asana to an Outlook email based on the status of the task. I understand there are outside apps that can be used to help create this flow but will there be any type of integration that will have direct communicate between Asana and Outlook? Having this functionality will help communicate information to the various departments we have in the company.
I would like this too. We have a Power Automate licence as part of our Microsoft Licence so I really don’t want to pay for Zapier just to be able to use this. Has anyone had success using Power Automate to email out of Asana? If it’s possible with Zapier it should be possible with Power Automate as I understand they are the same sort of product
Would love for you to make this same post in the Product Feedback section of the forums so we can all upvote it.
I currently have employees wanting complicated workflows that once the task/subtasks are approved/rejected it sends an outlook email to the rule triggerer (who aren’t in Asana) with next steps.
