I have a zap set up where an Asana task is created when a specific column is updated on Google Sheets. Is there a way to have 10 subtasks automatically attached to the main Asana task that gets created?

You can dynamically map a data point from a previous step, by choosing the “Custom” option in the Parent Task dropdown menu.
Make sure to reference the help text underneath the field for guidance.

Hey
can you specify this in more detail? I think it should be possible and an option might also to use the Asana internal automations (see here). Maybe clarify if the subtask depend on something or on which basis you want to create the subtasks and if they are also in Gsheets.

Project Name, Author, Script, Checkbox.
The project name becomes the project name, and author and script get placed into the “notes” field. The “checkbox” being activated is what then creates the task.
Now, all my projects that I usually create all have identical subtasks associated with them. I was wondering with Zapier if there was a way to, when the task is being created, to automatically populate the task with ~10 named subtasks.
When I make these manually (without Zapier), I basically have a “template task” in Asana that has the subtasks contained within it, and then I just duplicate the task and re-name it.

I can’t choose a parent task because this very zap has not yet created the parent task. Sorry, I’m very new at this so I apologize if I’m missing something obvious.
