Does GAIA work with Asana templates and custom fields?

GAIA can create tasks from templates and populate custom fields if you specify them in your instructions. Advanced custom field automation may require initial configuration.

Can multiple Slack channels map to the same Asana project?

Yes. Multiple Slack channels can feed into the same Asana project, which is useful when different teams contribute to the same project from their own channels.

Automate Slack + Asana with GAIA

Create Asana tasks from Slack and track progress in chat

Project teams coordinate in Slack but track work in Asana. The gap between the two means tasks get agreed upon in Slack but never formally created in Asana, and Asana updates don't reach the team in Slack. GAIA closes this loop so your team can coordinate in Slack while maintaining proper project tracking in Asana.

5 things you can automate

Everything GAIA can do when Slack and Asana are connected.

Create tasks from Slack messages

React to any Slack message with a task emoji or GAIA command to instantly create an Asana task. GAIA uses the message content as the task description and prompts for due date and assignee.

Task completion notifications

When an Asana task is completed, GAIA notifies the relevant Slack channel or thread so teammates know work is done without manually checking Asana.

Daily project standup digest

GAIA compiles a morning summary of Asana tasks due today and overdue tasks and posts it to the team Slack channel to align everyone on daily priorities.

Blocked task alerts

When a task is marked blocked in Asana, GAIA sends a Slack alert to the task owner and project manager so blockers get attention quickly.

Milestone celebration posts

When a project milestone is reached in Asana, GAIA posts a celebratory update to the team Slack channel recognizing contributors and announcing the achievement.

How to set it up

Connect Slack and Asana to GAIA in three steps.

1
Connect Slack and Asana to GAIA
Add GAIA to your Slack workspace and connect your Asana account with access to the relevant workspaces and projects.
2
Map Slack channels to Asana projects
Tell GAIA which Slack channels correspond to which Asana projects so tasks created from Slack automatically go to the right project.
3
Configure bidirectional notifications
Set which Asana events should notify which Slack channels. Start with task completion and due-date reminders, then add more events as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. You can ask GAIA in Slack to update a task's due date, assignee, description, or status. GAIA confirms the change and updates Asana in real time.
