Click "Try this template".
Click "OK" and give the Flowbot a name to recognize.
The template will be copied to your "My Project".
Click on the trigger action with the Asana icon.
The next screen is pre-configured. You can change the title if you want.
Set your trigger interval (how often you want Yoom to check Asana for new updates).
It can be set to 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 60 minutes. We recommend setting the trigger to the shortest activation interval available for your plan.
⚠️ Note: The trigger interval varies depending on your Yoom plan. Be sure to check your current plan’s limit.
Once configured, click “Test”.
If the test succeeds, the retrieved value should be updated.
Check if the data is correct and click “Save”.
Click on the action with the GitHub icon.

📚 Reference: For more details on retrieved values and how to set them up, see the guide here.
Go to GitHub and check if a new ticket is created there. If it is, then return to Yoom and hit "Save".
Toggle the "Trigger On" button to activate your flow!
Check if the Flowbot you set up is working properly.
That’s it! 🎉 The Flowbot is now complete!
Once you’re comfortable using Yoom, customize the flow to make it more suitable to your needs! You can adjust the trigger to an email or use branching to tailor the flow to better fit your workflow :)
Below are some examples…
What if you want to register requests from outside the company as tasks?
In this case, try switching to an email trigger to automatically create tasks based on incoming emails. With Yoom’s email feature, you can set it to automatically create a task if the subject contains “inquiry”. This means any inquiry email you receive will automatically turn into a task for you to respond to. By combining email features with AI, you can further expand the possibilities of your workflow, making it even more efficient.
📚Reference: To learn more about how to set up an email trigger, check this guide.
For tasks with deadlines, it’s important to notify the responsible person to ensure timely action.
In such cases, you can use branching to automate notifications. By setting specific conditions, such as deadlines or keywords, you can direct the notification (or email) to the responsible person. Branching allows you to customize the flow to suit your needs. For example, you can set it to notify team members based on the task’s urgency or other criteria.
📚 References: For more details on how to set up a branching, you can refer to the full guide here.
⚠️ Note: The branch command function is only available on Yoom’s paid plans. If you’re using the Free plan, the Flowbot may face errors due to limited access. But don’t worry - all plans have a 2-week free trial! You can try all features without restrictions. For more info about Yoom and its plans, visit our Yoom Help Center.
