Connect Asana to Gmail

Automate Asana and Gmail with AI

From one message in Telegram or Discord, an Operator.io agent on OpenClaw can read the Gmail thread behind a request, create an Asana task with subtasks and assignees, and post back in Gmail when the task status changes. Ask it to chase an overdue item and it checks Asana, then sends the reminder email.

It reaches both apps directly or through connectors like Composio MCP and Pipedream MCP, which handle the sign in and token refresh, so there is no Zap to build and no API keys to paste.

How it works

Tell the agent what you want to happen between Asana and Gmail, for example to watch one and act in the other, or to keep the two in step. It reads what it needs from Asana, works out what to do, and runs the matching action in Gmail without you mapping a single field.

You can have it run once, on a schedule, or whenever something changes. Ask it for a status any time and it reads the latest from both apps back to you in the same chat.

Common questions about Asana and Gmail

How do I connect Asana and Gmail to Operator?
You authorize Asana and Gmail once each from your Operator dashboard. Operator holds both connections and refreshes the access tokens for you, so your agent keeps working across them without you signing in again.
What can my agent do across Asana and Gmail?
You describe the outcome in plain language and your agent works between the two, reading from one and acting in the other. It picks the right Asana and Gmail actions on its own, so you do not map fields or pick triggers.
Can my agent keep Asana and Gmail in sync?
Yes. It can watch Asana and act in Gmail, or keep both in step, reading from one and running the matching update in the other. This runs on demand when you ask or on a schedule you set.
Do I need to build a workflow or write code?
No. There is no workflow to build, no fields to map, and no API keys to paste. Operator manages both connections, and you give the agent instructions in plain language.
