How does this automation work?

Bardeen's automation playbook turns your email threads into actionable Asana tasks, leveraging the power of OpenAI to parse and summarize content. For busy professionals managing projects, this workflow ensures that no task goes unnoticed and that your project management tools are synchronized with your inbox. This can be particularly useful for product development teams and anyone looking to enhance personal productivity by organizing their tasks more efficiently.

Here's how this workflow transforms an email thread into a list of Asana tasks:

  • Step 1: Identify Email Thread - Bardeen locates the email thread in your current Gmail page, ensuring relevant information is gathered for task generation.
  • Step 2: Summarize Email Content - OpenAI summarizes the body of the email, providing a clear and concise overview of the thread's content, which will be used to create a context for the tasks in Asana.
  • Step 3: Generate Task List - From the email summary, OpenAI extracts a list of tasks, effectively identifying action items from the conversation.
  • Step 4: Format Task Details - Bardeen merges the summary and tasks into a coherent text string, ready to be used as a description for the Asana tasks.
  • Step 5: Create Asana Tasks - For each task identified by OpenAI, Bardeen creates a corresponding task in Asana, using the merged summary and task details, within the specified project.
