"Even if I add a new task in Asana, the team doesn't notice..." "Creating detailed tasks is a bit of a hassle..." Have you ever felt this way?
Especially in projects involving multiple people, detailed task assignments and management are essential. However, tasks can be overlooked or forgotten. When such situations frequently occur, you might wonder, "Why are we even creating tasks in Asana...!"
In this article, we will introduce how to integrate Asana and Slack to promote smooth communication and task management within project teams! Task management tools like Asana and communication platforms like Slack, which facilitate quick team interactions, are a perfect match.
Therefore, integrating them might streamline task management and creation. We provide a detailed explanation with images, so please give it a try!
By using Yoom, you can easily integrate Asana and Slack without any coding.
Yoom offers pre-made templates for integrating Asana and Slack, allowing you to achieve integration immediately just by signing up, even without API knowledge.
By integrating the APIs of Asana and Slack, you can automatically sync Asana data with Slack! For example, you can automatically perform data synchronization like the following without human intervention.
This is recommended for project managers who manage team members' tasks in Asana and for those who use Slack as a daily communication tool within the company.
This is recommended for project leaders managing multiple tasks in Asana and for members who do not want to miss notifications after task completion.
This flow is recommended for project management teams who use Asana for task management and want to smoothly check tasks that should be completed today, as well as for team leaders looking to enhance work efficiency by automating business processes.
Now, let's create a flow that integrates Asana and Slack!
We'll be using Yoom to proceed with the integration of Asana and Slack without any coding. If you don't have a Yoom account yet, please create one from the Yoom registration form.
[What is Yoom]
This time, we will create a flow bot that sends a message to Slack whenever a new task is added to an Asana project!
The creation process is broadly divided into the following steps:
First, register Asana and Slack, which will be used this time, in Yoom's My Apps.
Registering with My Apps in advance will make the subsequent automation settings smoother.
Let's connect Asana.
Click "My Apps" and select "Add" on the right side of the screen.
On the app list screen for My Apps, search for and select Asana.
Enter your email address.
Enter your password and click login.
Similar to the Asana registration, click "My Apps" → "Add" on the left side of the Yoom screen.
Search for Slack in "Search by App Name" or find it from the app list.
A screen like the image below will be displayed.
Set the channel to receive notifications and click "Allow".
If Slack is displayed on the My Apps screen, the process is complete.
To set up automation, click "Try it" on the banner below.
Read the following screen display and click "OK".
If changes are necessary, you can click on the relevant section to make modifications.
In this step, you will configure settings to detect when a new task is added to a specific project in Asana using Yoom's API and send a notification to Slack.
1. Click on the red box labeled "When a new task is added to a specific project".
2. Confirm that you are using the correct account for integration and click "Next".
3. Enter the information in the red box in the image below.
You can choose the trigger activation interval from 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 60 minutes.
※ Please note that the shortest activation interval varies depending on the plan.
Project IDs and other information can be selected by clicking the box.
After completing the input, click "Test".
Clicking "Test" will allow you to verify the information retrieved from the integrated Asana.
If the test is successful as shown below, click "Save".
4. Next, proceed with the settings to send notifications to Slack.
Click on the red box labeled "Send message to channel".
5. The following screen will be displayed.
Set up the Slack information where you want to receive notifications and configure the message.
When you click on the input field as shown in the screen below, retrieved value will be displayed.
Retrieved value allows you to easily input information obtained from the integrated Asana.
Enter a message to make it easy to confirm that a task has been created in Asana on Slack.
Click "Test" to verify if the message can actually be sent to Slack.
Once you confirm the test is successful, click "Save".
Finally, the following screen will be displayed, so turn ON the trigger.
The flow bot will start automatically.
We have introduced a method to integrate data from Asana to Slack, but if you want to integrate data from Slack to Asana, please also use the template below.
This is recommended if you want to add issues arising from interactions on Slack as tasks in Asana.
Since there is no need to switch between individual apps, task creation can be done efficiently!
This is a flow for creating a project, not a task.
Once you can smoothly create projects from Slack, it will become clear where to add tasks according to the project, reducing confusion about where to create them.
By leveraging the APIs of Asana and Slack, various automations can be achieved!
How about the following automations?
Asana, which allows for task management, can facilitate the automatic addition of tasks and automatically notify when a task is added. Additionally, integration with CRM tools and database tools may make detailed task management easier.
You can freely integrate various SaaS with Slack and receive all kinds of notifications on Slack. Additionally, it is possible to trigger a bot to start when a message is sent to Slack.
By integrating Asana data with Slack, you will find it easier to notice when new tasks are added, and conversely, you can create tasks and projects in Asana from Slack. This integration offers benefits in task creation and management.
This increases the likelihood of avoiding overlooked tasks and may make it easier to communicate with Slack members about tasks.
Moreover, the key point of this integration is that it can be achieved without programming knowledge!
With Yoom, such app integrations become easily possible. It's easy to implement even for beginners in app integration, so register with Yoom now and start implementing automation!
