Is there any way to build an API that sends automated notifications via WhatsApp when a task is assigned to a specific user

@Betty_Cerrillos - welcome to the forum! There isn’t a prebuilt integration for WhatsApp, but if you’re a developer (or have them on your team), you could set that up. You’d probably want to either create your own app or use the existing “Outgoing POST request” external rule action.

An example setup would be: In the user’s my tasks, create a rule that when a task is added, send POST request to [this WhatsApp endpoint](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/messages/text-messages).

Hi, we’ve build [Whatsana](https://whatsana.app) to connect Whatsapp and Asana and send messages that convert into tasks and receive Asana notifications on Whatsapp.
