How to Integrate Asana with Slack, Gmail, and Zoom

In today’s digital era, managing workflows efficiently is not just about choosing the right project management tool. The real difference comes from how well this tool integrates with the other platforms you use daily.

This is where Asana’s Slack, Gmail, and Zoom integrations stand out. With these integrations:

• Communication and task management are centralized.
• Emails, messages, and meetings are seamlessly connected to Asana.
• Time loss and information silos are eliminated.

With Omtera’s Platinum Solutions Partner expertise, these integrations can be implemented in the most effective way for your organization, ensuring maximum value in the shortest time.

Why Integrations Matter

Teams rely heavily on different tools in their daily workflows:

• Slack: Ideal for instant communication and quick coordination. Channels and messaging keep teams connected.
• Gmail: The most common email platform for client communication, internal approvals, and official updates.
• Zoom: A must-have in the remote work era, used for meetings, presentations, and decision-making.

Without integration with Asana, problems arise:

• Important decisions discussed in Slack never turn into actionable tasks and get buried in messages.
• Critical emails in Gmail don’t make it into Asana, leading to forgotten or overlooked tasks.
• Zoom meeting notes and action items get lost, leaving teams without follow-up.

The result: delays, miscommunication, and lack of transparency.

Integration ensures that communication and information from Slack, Gmail, and Zoom are centralized in Asana, so teams can manage both communication and tasks in one place.

Asana – Slack Integration

Why Slack Integration?
Slack is powerful for instant team communication, but conversations must turn into actionable tasks.

With the integration:

• Convert Slack messages into Asana tasks.
• Get Asana task updates directly in Slack channels.
• Track project progress without leaving Slack.

Setup Steps:

1. Add the Asana app from Slack’s App Directory.
2. Connect your Asana account with Slack.
3. Choose the channel(s) you want to connect.
4. Use /asana create to create tasks directly from Slack.

Example: In a marketing team’s Slack channel, someone writes: “The blog draft should be ready by Friday.” With one click, this message becomes a task in Asana, assigned to the responsible team member with a due date. What’s said in Slack instantly turns into an actionable, trackable task in Asana.

Asana – Gmail Integration

Why Gmail Integration?
Email remains critical, especially in client communication. But manually creating tasks for each important email wastes time.

With Gmail integration:

• Convert emails into Asana tasks with one click.
• Task details include the email body and attachments.
• Manage follow-ups from Asana instead of your inbox.

Setup Steps:

1. Install the Asana for Gmail add-on from Chrome Web Store.
2. Connect your Gmail account with Asana.
3. Open any email and use the “Add to Asana” option on the right panel.
4. Choose project, assignee, and due date, then save.

Example: A client emails, “Can you create a new product page on the website?” With one click, this email becomes a task in Asana, assigned to the right person with a deadline. Nothing gets lost in the inbox.

Asana – Zoom Integration

Why Zoom Integration?
Meetings are productive only if the notes and action items are tracked. Otherwise, decisions get forgotten.

With Zoom integration:

• Meeting notes are automatically logged in Asana.
• Action items become trackable tasks.
• Zoom links are directly visible inside Asana tasks.

Setup Steps:

1. Install Asana from the Zoom App Marketplace.
2. Connect your Asana account.
3. Link your meetings to Asana projects.
4. After the meeting, notes and tasks are automatically added to the project.

Example: In a product development meeting, the team agrees: “Testing for the new feature should start next week.”As soon as the meeting ends, this decision appears as a task in Asana, assigned to the relevant team.
