Asana, when???

I think that you support Slack((((

But Sluck is really ugly and integration to Slack you made is very poor. More - I already HATE SLACK with that integration (nevermind that current integretion is better than first release). Please add notifications and unreaded counter to tasks AS SOON AS YOU CAN!!! Please, answer!

If you have problems with developers (it is the only reason) - I can give you a couple.

Maybe you have no enough money to implement this feature - tell us, please, I think that we can collect the necessary sum of mney for you. Kickstarter?))

This is a huge problem that is not being addressed, and itā€™s upsetting.

The current notification system is insufficient. Emails and in-app notifications both render useless in most business environments and Iā€™ll explain why (Not that it hasnā€™t been mentioned 50 times above)

  1. Emails notifications clutter inboxes, resulting in no one reading them. Even worse, most of us have created filters to make these emails skip the inbox altogether. Emails are for communications not for being blasted constantly about changes and updates happening in a project management app.

  2. In-app notifications only work if the users are active on the site. If your not the project manager, you should not be expected to visit the website on an hourly basis to check what is new. I donā€™t think I should have to explain this further.

Now, why there arenā€™t browser notifications built in is beyond my comprehension, as itā€™s standard practice across many platforms. Even more troubling, there are no notifications that show on your phone with the app installed and active, why?

Please address this problem, we need solutions rather than excuses.

Itā€™s incredible that this has not been added yet. Is there a response from Asana about this?

Hi @Matt_Shipon and welcome to the Forum. We are aware this is a popular request, and desktop notifications are definitely on our radar. While I donā€™t have an update to share at the moment, Iā€™m closely monitoring this thread and reporting to our Product Team. Iā€™ll make sure to update this thread as soon as I have an update!

I think that the answer is quite simple: asana with desktop notifications will kill their ugly slackā€¦

Asana encourages to turn off email notifications in order to fully integrate into Asana and streamline workflow, which I totally agree with, but there needs to be desktop notifications to help keep projects moving and prevent the lags that come from people not being notified of updates. Please implement desktop notifications. :pray:

Yoooo this is NOT working. I donā€™t get any notifications

Welcome to the Forum @Victoria_Harrell and sorry to hear youā€™re running into trouble here; letā€™s see if we can fix this together!

  • Can you confirm youā€™ve followed the steps in this post to enable browsers notifications? Introducing browser notifications!

  • Can you also check you donā€™t have your Do Not Disturb enabled?

  • And last, can you confirm that you donā€™t have the Inbox snooze hack enable?

I look forward to your reply!

My understanding is that the only notifications being pushed out are communications between ASANA and us, not between team members. Furthermore, I need notifications coming from my TASKS reminding me that something needs to be worked on at a scheduled time or of a meeting for that matter. When Iā€™m in the middle of a task, I want to receive reminders to make a call, or move on to the next task, whatever.
