Add the Asana "Task completed" trigger

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

Click "Add trigger" and select "Task completed" under Asana. Then, select the project. This trigger will automatically detect all the completed tasks in Asana to create an email draft in Gmail.

If this is your first time using an Asana integration in Relay, you'll be prompted to connect your Asana account.

Add the Gmail "Create draft" automation

Connect Gmail to Relay if you haven't already, then fill out the mandatory and relevant details. You can reference fields from Asana to automatically pass along the right data.
