Streamlining task management through automation can dramatically improve productivity, especially when dealing with a high volume of emails. Bardeen's playbook allows you to quickly extract the key follow-up items from an open email and add them to Asana, enabling you to keep your project management tool up-to-date with minimal effort. This process ensures that nothing falls through the cracks and you can maintain a clear overview of your pending tasks directly from your inbox.

Here's how this workflow simplifies email follow-ups with Asana:

• Step 1: Right-click to start - Initiate the playbook with a simple right-click on the currently open email page.
• Step 2: Find email thread - Bardeen will find the email thread displayed on the current page using Gmail's capabilities to track conversations.
• Step 3: Extract action items - The body of the email is processed to extract action items, which might require follow-ups or tasks to be created.
• Step 4: Summarize with OpenAI - OpenAI is used to summarize the email and list the identified action items, ensuring that the most important tasks are captured.
• Step 5: Prepare task description - A descriptive text is generated, including the email follow-ups and action items, preparing it for entry into Asana.
• Step 6: Create Asana task - The prepared text is used to create a new task in Asana, where you can track and complete your follow-up items effectively.
