Asana brings tasks and conversations together so your team can get more work done with less effort, and without email. With the Asana integration for Slack, you can get updates for Asana tasks right where you’re working and use slash commands to quickly take actions in Asana.

Here's what you'll get updates for:

• When a task is created or completed
• When a task is renamed or its description is modified
• When a comment is added to a task

1. Visit the Asana app page in Slack’s App Directory.
2. Click Install below the Asana icon.
3. Choose a channel where Asana updates will be posted.
4. Click Add Asana Integration.

10. Click Save Integration to complete setup.

Asana slash commands

Note: To assign tasks to a teammate using the /asana add slash command, that teammate will also need to authenticate their Asana account.
