How does this automation work?
Bardeen's Playbook allows professionals to organize their email communications effectively by saving labeled emails as tasks in Asana, including attachments. This automation ensures that nothing slips through the cracks, maintaining a seamless flow of information from your Gmail to Asana, while storing any attachments on Google Drive. This is vital for project management and ensuring that all team members have access to relevant information and resources.
Here's how this workflow saves your labeled emails to Asana, including attachments:
- Step 1: Find labeled emails: Bardeen locates emails in Gmail that have been labeled with a specific identifier you provide. This is the first step in organizing your tasks.
- Step 2: Upload attachments to Google Drive: Any attachments found in the labeled emails are uploaded to Google Drive, keeping your documents organized and accessible.
- Step 3: Merge email content: The body of the email is prepared for transfer by merging it into a single text block, which includes the email body followed by a new line for clarity.
- Step 4: Create Asana task: An Asana task is created from each labeled email, with the subject of the email becoming the task name. The Google Drive link to attachments is included in the task, and it is placed within the Asana project of your choosing.
