Set the Asana trigger as “Task completed”

Once you have finished creating your playbook, the next step would be to begin with the first action. A playbook always starts with a trigger, which is responsible for detecting changes in your connected applications and responding accordingly.

Add the Asana trigger to initiate your playbook's actions each time a task is completed. Click "Add trigger" in your playbook and choose "Task completed" from the dropdown menu under Asana. This will allow your playbook to automatically identify newly completed tasks and trigger necessary actions.

If you still need to connect your Asana account to Relay.app yet, a prompt will guide you through the process.

Add the "Get row" and "Update row" step in Google Sheets

Integrate the Google Sheets automation into your playbook to ensure the prompt update of a Google Sheets row each time an Asana task is completed.

Click the "Add step" button, then locate the "Get row" and "Update row" automation for Google Sheets and input the mandatory and relevant details.

If your Google Sheets account still needs to be 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 Google Sheets account.

Activate your playbook

Activating your playbook is the last step in the process. Once you turn it on, it will automatically update a Google Sheets row each time an Asana task is completed without requiring manual intervention.

To activate your playbook, click the toggle button at the header. Before activating, we recommend performing a test run of your playbook to ensure all the steps work seamlessly together.
