If you are using Asana with your project team, you might think that task management and information sharing within the team are being handled adequately. However, did you know that by integrating Asana with other apps, you could potentially manage tasks more smoothly?
By integrating Asana with other apps, you can automate tasks related to task management. If you can automate these tasks, such as creating tasks and notifications when tasks are updated, which are usually done manually, you should be able to use the freed-up time for other tasks!
For app integration and automation settings, we recommend using Yoom. With Yoom, you can easily set up integrations and automation without needing programming or API expertise, as it is a no-code platform.
Now, let's introduce how to connect Asana to Yoom and automate tasks through integration with other apps. Aim for smooth project progress by automating tasks related to task management.
Recommended for those who want to use the Asana API:
Those who want to quickly grasp task information
Those who want to improve the efficiency of managing issues and projects
Those who want to efficiently check the progress and trends of tasks
Those who want to reduce manual work and improve operational efficiency
How to use the Asana API:
This time, we will use a service called Yoom to utilize Asana without code.
[What is Yoom]
First, please access the official Yoom website and create an account. If you already have an account, please log in.
1) Once logged into your Yoom account, register the app you will use. Click "My Apps" and select "Add".
2) A list of apps that can be connected with Yoom will be displayed. Search for "Asana," which will be used this time, from the search window at the top.
Once you can select the app, please configure it with the account you will use.
3) Once registered, an icon will be displayed in My Apps. Please check if the icon of the registered app is displayed.
Now you can use the API provided by Asana from Yoom!
Other automation examples using Asana:
By using Asana's API, you can automate various tasks. All can be used with simple settings, so if you find something interesting, please give it a try!
Add a task to Asana when information is registered:
By quickly adding information to Asana, team members can always check the latest status, facilitating smooth information sharing.
When a card is added to Trello, add a task to Asana as well.
■Overview When managing projects using both Trello and Asana, do you find it cumbersome to manually enter the same information into both tools? Such double entry can lead to transcription errors and missed updates. By using this workflow, you can trigger on card additions in Trello to automatically create tasks in Asana. This eliminates the manual effort of syncing information and improves the accuracy and efficiency of task management.
■Who we recommend this template for ・Those who use both Trello and Asana and find double entry of tasks burdensome ・Team leaders who want to eliminate input mistakes and missed updates caused by manual data entry ・Those who want to automate integration between project management tools and improve operational efficiency
■Notes ・Please connect Yoom with both Trello and Asana.
This is a flowbot that automatically adds a card to Trello when a task is added to Asana. Please use it when synchronizing information between Asana and Trello.
■ Summary The 'Flow to automatically register emails with specific Gmail labels as Asana projects' is a workflow that facilitates smooth transitions from emails to project management. When emails with specific Gmail labels are received, their contents are automatically reflected as projects in Asana.
■ Recommended for - Those who want to automatically reflect information from emails received in Gmail into Asana for management - Business people who want to save the effort of manually entering email content into Asana and make effective use of their time - IT personnel who wish to automate project creation from emails and simplify business processes
■ Notes - Please link Yoom with both Gmail and Asana. - You can select trigger activation intervals of 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 60 minutes. - Please note that the shortest activation interval may vary depending on the plan.
■ Overview The "Complete Asana task with a Gmail completion report" flow is a business workflow that automatically completes an Asana task triggered by an email from Gmail. It can reduce manual task updates and improve work efficiency.
■ Recommended for - Project managers who want to streamline task management in Asana - Those who primarily use Gmail for business communication and want to automate task updates - Team leaders who don't want to spend time managing tasks after responding to emails - Companies that want to smoothen their business workflow while maintaining information consistency - Those who want to reduce human errors from manual task completion operations
■ Notes - Please link Gmail and Asana with Yoom. - Triggers can be set to start at 5, 10, 15, 30, or 60-minute intervals. - The shortest startup interval varies depending on the plan, so please pay attention.
An example of automation is the integration between Asana and a database, which allows for the synchronization of task information from Asana to the database, or the automatic addition of tasks to Asana when the database is updated. This is useful when you need to collectively check task information as an administrator or when dealing with data that always requires subsequent processing upon updates, such as order information lists. Since the registered and entered information is synchronized as is, it can also help reduce the risk of transcription errors and registration omissions.
2. Expect Reduced Workload
You can also achieve operations that automatically share task details and progress. For example, if you set it up so that a task is automatically created when an inquiry email arrives, customer support staff can reduce the frequency of checking emails. Additionally, by pre-setting notifications to only send necessary information to relevant parties, you can eliminate the hassle of selecting stakeholders, logging into tools, and creating messages. By eliminating such tasks, you may be able to increase the time spent focusing on other duties.
3. Leads to Faster Operations
If your company uses Asana and other task management tools, and they are used differently by department or task, integrating the apps can synchronize task information, potentially eliminating the time spent on transcription tasks. With automatic synchronization, information can be shared accurately and quickly, which can also lead to faster follow-ups with customers. Quick responses are likely to improve satisfaction.
Conclusion
By using Yoom to integrate Asana with other apps, you can automate task management-related operations as discussed above. To properly manage daily tasks, it is recommended to automate the creation of tasks and the sharing of information after task creation. To facilitate project progress, improve team communication and performance, and gain customer trust, let's advance the integration and automation of task management-related operations.
The examples of operations introduced here are only a part of what can be done with Yoom. There are still many apps that can be integrated and operations that can be automated, both related to Asana and beyond, so please take this opportunity to register with Yoom and give it a try!
With Yoom, you can easily build the kind of collaboration described here without programming knowledge.
I have experience in administrative roles in specialized trading companies and the e-commerce industry. My responsibilities have spanned a wide range of areas, including sales administration, accounting, general affairs, human resources, and legal affairs. While I have worked on improving the efficiency of individual tasks, I believe that utilizing various support tools and Yoom could have made operations even more convenient. I hope to leverage my professional experience to publish articles introducing Yoom, assisting everyone in streamlining their operations.
