Get Reminded in Slack When New Asana Tasks Land
A new task is created in Asana. Within minutes, Slack reminds you to review it. No checking Asana constantly, no tasks forgotten.
Trigger
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Action
Create a reminder
Creates a slack reminder with specified text and time; time accepts unix timestamps, seconds from now, or natural language (e.g., 'in 15 minutes', 'every thursday at 2pm').
Why this helps
New task overwhelm hits neurodivergent founders hard. When tasks pile up in Asana, it's easy to forget to look at recent additions until they're overdue. The constant checking is exhausting.
- Timely review: Reminders fire within minutes of task creation, so work gets attention quickly.
- Batch-friendly: Reminders stack if multiple tasks arrive at once, so you can review them together.
- Customizable timing: Set reminders to fire immediately, in 1 hour, or daily depending on your workflow.
- Reduces checking burden: Stop compulsively refreshing Asana. Notis reminds you when there's something new.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Slack to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'Remind me in Slack when new tasks are created in [Project Name]' or 'remind me in 30 minutes.'
- 3Notis asks which project and preferred reminder timing.
- 4Select 'New Task Created' as your trigger.
- 5Test by creating a new task in Asana; a Slack reminder should appear at your specified time.
Questions about this workflow
Can I set different reminder times for different task priorities?
Yes. Create separate automations for high-priority tasks (remind immediately) and regular tasks (remind daily or in a batch).
What if I want reminders only for tasks assigned to me?
Include that in your prompt: 'Remind me only for new tasks assigned to me.' Notis filters automatically.
Will reminders keep firing if I don't action the task?
By default, reminders are one-time. Notis can be configured to re-remind you if a task hasn't been completed, but this is optional.
