How does this automation work?
Organizing your week can be a daunting task, especially when it comes to managing a busy meeting schedule. Bardeen's automation for creating Asana tasks from your upcoming week's meetings is designed to ensure you're prepared for each meeting without spending time manually setting reminders. Every Monday, this workflow will automatically pull your meetings for the week from Google Calendar and create corresponding tasks in Asana, including details like the description and join link, so you're ready to go.
Let's break down how this workflow can optimize your meeting management:
- Step 1: Schedule the automation - Set up when_schedule in Bardeen to trigger this workflow every Monday, ensuring you're planning a week ahead at all times.
- Step 2: Find upcoming week's meetings - Bardeen utilizes Google Calendar to find all events scheduled for the upcoming week, focusing on meetings that require your attention.
- Step 3: Retrieve meeting details - The get_meetings_from_events_command extracts important details from each meeting, such as start times and summaries.
- Step 4: Convert dates to text - The get_string_from_date command processes the meeting dates, converting them into a readable text format for better clarity.
- Step 5: Merge meeting details - Text strings including the meeting summary and description are merged together to form the content for each Asana task.
- Step 6: Create Asana tasks - Finally, the do_create_asana_task command is used to create a new task in Asana for each meeting, ensuring you have a productive week ahead.
