Creating an Asana Task via Email
Asana enables task creation through emails, making it easy to capture action items without leaving your inbox.
Steps to Create a Task:
1. Send an Email:
- Forward any email or compose a new one addressed to `[email protected]`.
- The subject line becomes the task name.
- The body of your email becomes the task description.
Use the API Output Node to Create Your Task
- Output Display Area: A large text area bordered by dashed lines, indicating where the output from your flow will be displayed. Before any data appears, this area contains placeholder text stating, "Your output will be displayed here," guiding users on what to expect once their flow call has been executed.
Send to Email Section
This section offers functionality allows users to directly send their flow results via email to create a task. Key components include:
- Expand/Collapse Mechanism: Next to the section title "Send to Email," there's a downwards arrow icon. Clicking on this icon toggles between expanding and collapsing this section, revealing or hiding additional options related to email functionality.
Email Address Field
Within the Send to Email Section, users can specify one or more recipient email addresses in this field. This is where you would insert your email that will create your task.
Subject Field
Below the Email Address Field is another input field labeled "Subject." This allows users to define a subject line for their emails, which can either be connected to dynamic content sources or manually entered for each message sent.
