Gmail attachments not being attached to Asana tasks

Hi @paul stephenson 

Yes, that is possible to do via Zapier. You need to create a Zap like this:

Hi @paul stephenson 

You may need to add a Step to your Zap to first find or create the Asana Task.

this rule will not work - as it requires me to specify the ‘task’ to add the attachment too

that would mean i would have to create a new zap for every single email

let me explain

• we have set up an Asana project
• we have a gmail account - where our ERP system emails/attaches a PDF invoice and another PDF contract terms document (so at least 2 attachments)
• i want Zapier to 
  • from a new email in to inbox
  • with specific subject : INVOICE  AND 123456 (being the customer account code)
  • from: a specific email address
• create in asana
  • create new task
  • to a specific project
  • to a specific asana section
  • name  = task id = the email subject (because that will be unique for every printed invoice from ERP)
  • set a due date
  • set an assignee
  • set a status
  • attach all the attachments on to this task

I tried the insert attachment option - but it expects me to select a specific task to attach it to, which must already exist ? - i can’t create the single task / set the values (per above) - as it only allows project/task selection

i had a gmail forwarding rule in to Asana working - but it would not let me set all the variables on the task

any other advice ?

tks Paul
