Add text to a Google Doc when a task is added to an Asana project

■Overview

When managing tasks in Asana and compiling them into meeting minutes or project reports in Google Docs, manually transferring information is time-consuming and can easily lead to missed updates. In particular, manually linking Asana and Google Docs may result in important information being overlooked.

With this workflow, simply adding a new task to Asana automatically appends the task information to a designated Google Doc. This streamlines the integration process and helps maintain data accuracy.

■Recommended for

• Anyone who uses Asana and Google Docs together and manually transfers task information
• Anyone looking to streamline task management in Asana and document creation in Google Docs
• Team leaders who want to consolidate task decisions and update history in a document without missing anything

■Benefits of this template

• Task information is automatically appended to Google Docs whenever a task is added to Asana, reducing the time spent on manual data entry.
• Prevent missed information and copy-and-paste errors caused by manual transfers, helping maintain document accuracy.

■Flowbot steps

1. First, connect Asana and Google Docs with Yoom.
2. Next, select Asana as the trigger and set the action to “When a new task is added to a specific project.”
3. Finally, select Google Docs as the operation and set the “Append text to the end of the document” action to add the task information retrieved from Asana to the designated document.

※“Trigger”: An action that starts the flow. “Operation”: An action that processes data within the flow after the trigger starts.

■Customization options

• In the Asana trigger settings, specify the project that should trigger the Flowbot.
• In the Google Docs operation settings, specify the document file where you want to add the text.
• You can also customize the text added in the Google Docs operation settings. Freely format it by combining the information you need, such as the Asana task name, assignee, and due date.

■Notes‍

• Connect both Asana and Google Docs with Yoom.
• You can choose a trigger interval of 5, 10, 15, 30, or 60 minutes.
• Note that the shortest trigger interval varies by plan.
