1

Create your playbook and set the Google Tasks trigger as "New task added"

After creating your playbook, you can proceed to add your 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 "New task added" under Google Tasks. Then, select details like Task list. This will allow your playbook to automatically detect each newly added task in Google Tasks and initiate necessary actions.

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

2

Add the "Create project" in Asana automation

Integrate the Asana automation into your playbook to ensure the prompt creation of a new project in Asana when a new task has been added in Google Tasks.

Click the "Add step" button, then locate the "Create project" 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.

3

Activate your Relay.app playbook

Activating your playbook is the final step to automate the creation of a new project in Asana. Once turned on, it will respond to each newly added task in Google Tasks by creating a new project 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
