Guest email notifications and guest commenting

[Stephanie_Baxter]

I’m wanting to use Asana to assign certain tasks to guests, but more so that members in the organisation can track who is doing what.

However, what I would like is for guests to be able to participate in commenting on their tasks without having to go into Asana itself. So I have two questions:

1. Do guests get an email notification if a comment is posted on the task they are assigned to?
2. If so, can they reply to that email in order to post their own comment on the task?

Hi Stephanie,

Yes, guests can reply directly via email and depending on their notification settings they’ll get an email notification if a comment is posted on a task they’re assigned to. I think you’ll find these resources helpful!

Email to specific task on Asana

Hey @Shai_Shapira, Great question! This would be an awesome feature for us to add but unfortunately this doesn’t exist at the moment. I can certainly understand how emailing to a specific task could be a valuable feature for you and possibly our other users. I have made a note of your suggestion and we will take it into account as we continue to improve Asana. In the meantime, you can learn more about Emailing to Asana here: Turning emails into Asana tasks | Product guide • Asana Product Gui…

Email to specific task on Asana

I’m not exactly sure if this will work, but I think a workaround might be just replying to the task’s email notification. For example, if I assign you a task and you have email notifications turned on, if you reply to that email, your response will get added a comment within that task.
