Connect Asana to Slack

Asana is where tasks live and Slack is where the team talks about them. Connect the two so leads, clients and meeting notes become Asana tasks, and your team gets a short update in Slack instead of checking every project.

Build your own

Build any Asana and Slack automation you can describe

The ideas above are ready-made starting points, not a fixed list. Describe what should happen between Asana and Slack in your own words, with your conditions, other apps or an AI step, and your assistant writes it, tests it and runs it on ClickRuntime.

  • Your own rules

    Conditions, thresholds, filters and exceptions, written the way you'd explain them to a colleague.

  • Any number of apps

    One automation can read from one app and update several others. Over 248 apps are ready, and anything with an API works too.

  • AI where it helps

    Summaries, classification, extraction and drafts use ClickRuntime's built-in AI, with no extra key.

  • On a schedule or on each event

    Runs as often as every 5 minutes, or the moment an app sends an event, and keeps track of what it already handled.

For example, ask your assistant

Every Monday, post in #team the Asana tasks that were due last week but are still open, grouped by assignee.

When a message in #marketing-requests is a real request according to AI, create an Asana task with an AI-written title and reply in the thread; otherwise do nothing.

Use cases

Why people connect Asana and Slack

How the two apps work together

  • Asana webhooks send task created, completed and commented events to a ClickRuntime trigger link.
  • The script posts the update to a Slack channel or DM with the task name, assignee and link.
  • Slack events such as messages or emoji reactions reach a trigger link and create Asana tasks.

  • Requests in Slack become tasks

    Marketing and ops teams turn requests in a Slack channel into Asana tasks in an intake project. The thread gets the task link.

  • Task completions posted to the channel

    Project leads post in a project channel when milestones or important tasks are completed. The whole team sees progress.

  • Personal due-today reminders

    Each team member gets a morning Slack DM with their Asana tasks due today and overdue.

  • Comment alerts for busy managers

    Managers get a Slack message when someone comments on a task they own. They reply faster than through email notifications.
