In practice, specific values such as the message content sent in the test and creation date are reflected next to each item in the image above.

Benefits of Integrating Google Chat with Asana

Benefit 1: Direct Task Registration from Conversations!

By registering conversations from Google Chat as tasks in Asana, you might reduce the risk of missing information and the effort of manual entry.
For example, if a team handling client interactions shares customer requests or inquiries in Google Chat, they can immediately register that information as tasks in Asana.
Using this system, you should no longer need to consolidate information recorded in notes or separate files into Asana later.

Additionally, since you can refer to the chat history when registering tasks, you can directly reflect necessary background information and instructions, helping to prevent any oversights in your work.
This integration between Google Chat and Asana, which allows you to convert conversations directly into tasks, can be a powerful means of centralizing information management.

Benefit 2: Instantly Communicate Priorities to Everyone!

By using Google Chat to share task details and priorities, you can efficiently share awareness of urgent tasks.
In situations where urgent action is needed, sharing the Asana task link via Google Chat should allow everyone to immediately understand the content.
For instance, if you need to convey "Please prioritize this customer request task," sharing it in Google Chat along with Asana's detailed information allows for quick recognition of which tasks are top priority.
This integration can be an essential tool for keeping operations smooth, especially in projects where task reordering frequently occurs.

Benefit 3: Share the Latest Information Across Teams!

Leveraging the integration of Google Chat and Asana enables the entire team to share the latest information on task creation.
In this flow, registering tasks from conversations in Google Chat prevents information from being scattered and centralizes business information within Asana.

For example, if a message like "Please register this customer inquiry as a task" is posted in Google Chat, the task is automatically registered in Asana.
All tasks are consolidated within Asana, allowing members other than the registrant to grasp the latest task status just by checking Asana.
This seamless reflection of Google Chat interactions in Asana also helps prevent project stagnation.
