Create a task in Timely when a task is added in Asana

■Overview

Do you manage tasks in Asana, a project management tool, and track time in Timely, but find it tedious to enter information in both tools? This redundant work can also lead to missed entries and errors. With this workflow, a task is automatically created in Timely whenever a task is added in Asana, making it easy to connect Timely and Asana while reducing the effort required for manual data entry.

■Who This Template Is For

• Anyone using Asana and Timely together who currently manages tasks and time tracking manually
• Project managers who want to automate the Timely–Asana integration and reduce the time and effort required for data entry
• Anyone looking to prevent missed task creation and duplicate entries while improving operational accuracy

■Benefits of This Template

• Tasks are automatically created in Timely whenever you add a task in Asana, reducing the time previously spent on manual work
• Eliminating manual data transfers helps reduce the risk of human errors, such as incorrect entries and missed task creation

■Workflow

1. First, connect Timely and Asana to 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, set Timely’s “Create Task” action as the operation and map the task information retrieved from Asana

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

■Customization Options

• In the Asana trigger settings, specify the workspace ID and project ID you want to use
• When creating a task in Timely, map information retrieved from Asana, such as the task name, to the fields of your choice

■Notes

• Connect both Asana and Timely to Yoom.
• You can choose a trigger interval of 5, 10, 15, 30, or 60 minutes.
• Available minimum trigger intervals vary by plan.
