The Asana → Slack integration only allows me to send a static message which doesn’t meet our needs. So I am using a Slack Workflow which “listens” for new tasks to be added to a project and then update the Slack channel.
The challenge is that the trigger is instant; as soon as a task is created it fires off a message – even if I build in a time delay – so the details are incomplete. I’ll get the first few letters of the task title typed in when it captures that a new task has been created and send a message to the channel. So I get a lot of Slack channel updates that look like “Revi” or something because the full task title of “Review the document” gets cut off.
Asana does not natively support wait steps and I don’t want to implement another tool like Zapier just for this. Has anyone had any success in building a hack or workaround within Asana? I’m thinking that maybe if I create the task outside of the project and then move it in that could work but ONLY if I do it manually (a rule to multi-home a task will have the same result, I’ve tested that).
