How do I create triggers in Zapier for Asana to find incomplete tasks and get new comment notifications?

Is there a way to request (or create somehow) triggers in Zapier for use with Asana? There are some that would significantly help our workflow. Such as: 

  • Finding & relaying incomplete tasks in one or multiple projects
  • Notifications for new comments on tasks within a project

Hi @DanielleR8 

Some options to try:

  • Notifications for new comments on tasks within a project
    • Zap trigger: Asana - New Comment on a Task

 

  • Finding & relaying incomplete tasks in one or multiple projects
    • Zap trigger: Asana - Updated Task
    • Zap trigger: Asana - Task Moved to Section
    • Zap trigger: Asana - Tag Added to Task

May need to add a Filter as Zap step 2: https://zapier.com/apps/filter/help

Hi @Troy Tessalone!

Many thanks for taking the time to respond with all of this helpful information. For notifications on incomplete tasks the filter option is just what  I needed.  

 

Unfortunately, even when matching with the custom status options in the Asana project, the Zap delivers an error message. I think for now we’ll need to continue manually sort through projects in Asana, but huge thanks to you again.

The screenshot is not an error, but rather a warning.

It indicates that your Zap Filter step would not have continued for this test data based on the selected example record data from Zap step 1.
