What does this Asana automation do?
A daily search finds tasks that have not moved and emails the owner with context.
What can you do with it?
- Notice stalls before the deadline does
- Send one message instead of chasing in standup
- Explain why the task looks stuck
The Steps
This automation runs in 4 steps:
- When Schedule — Every day
- Then Asana — Search Tasks
- Then Taskade AI — Ask an agent ("Stall Watch")
- Then Taskade — Send an email
What makes this different from a Zapier-style flow?
The "Stall Watch" step is not a one-off model call. It is a Taskade AI agent that knows your delivery dates and how much each owner carries, remembers which tasks it has already chased, so every run builds on the last one instead of starting from an empty prompt.
A stateless "ask the model" step forgets everything the moment it returns. An agent keeps its knowledge and its memory between runs, carries its own tools, and can be handed work by your other automations.
Who is this automation for?
Built for delivery managers. A daily search finds tasks that have not moved and emails the owner with context.
