FAQ

Questions about Gmail + Asana.

How do I create an Asana task from a Gmail message?

Gmail trigger filtered by label ("@asana" or "to-do") → Asana Create Task with title = email subject and notes = email body + link to the Gmail thread. Add the Gmail label "filed" to avoid duplicates.

Can I send a Gmail from an Asana task?

Yes — Asana Task Updated where a "Send email?" custom field is toggled → Gmail Send Email with the task title, notes, and the assignee added as a recipient. Useful for stakeholder updates triggered from inside Asana.

How do I prevent re-creating Asana tasks from the same Gmail thread?

Track processed thread IDs in a small Airtable / Supabase table, or rely on Gmail labels (remove the trigger label and add a "processed" label after Asana create).

Can I assign the Asana task to a specific person based on the Gmail sender?

Yes. Maintain a lookup of email_domain → asana_user_gid (e.g., bigcustomer.com → SDR named Sarah). Apply the assignee at Create Task time.

How do I attach Gmail attachments to the Asana task?

Loop over the message attachments, download each via Gmail Get Attachment, and upload to Asana via Add Attachment with the bytes. Asana caps at 100 MB per attachment.

Can I summarize the Gmail thread before writing it as Asana task notes?

Yes. Insert a Claude or OpenAI step between Gmail Get Thread and Asana Create Task. Pass the whole thread; get back a 3-bullet summary. Keeps the Asana task readable instead of pasting raw email chains.
