How to automatically update a task in Asana whenever a file is added to a specific Google Drive folder

Every playbook starts with a trigger. The trigger detects changes in your connected apps and runs your playbook in response.

To setup this playbook, click "Add trigger" and then select "File added to folder" under Google Drive. Then, select the Parent Folder where Files are added. This will allow your playbook to automatically detect any file that is added to a specific folder in Google Drive and initiate necessary actions.

If this is your first time using a Google Drive integration in Relay.app, a prompt will guide you through the connection process.

Integrate the Asana automation into your playbook to ensure the prompt update of task for each file added to a specific folder in Google Drive.

Click the "Add step" button, then locate the "Find task" to identify which task to be updated. Then, select the "Update task" automation for Asana and input the mandatory and relevant details.

If your Asana account isn't already connected to Relay.app, you will be prompted to complete that connection. Make sure to allow the necessary permissions for Relay.app to sync with your Asana account.

Activating your playbook is the final step to automate updating the task in Asana. Once turned on, it will respond to a new file added to a specific folder in Google Drive by updating the specified task in Asana without manual intervention.

To enable your playbook, click the toggle button located in the header. It is advisable to perform a test run of your playbook beforehand to ensure all steps work seamlessly together and reminders are being sent correctly.
