Alfred-filer-for-asana NPM

Filer for Asana

Quickly creates Asana tasks from the Chrome Omnibox and Alfred workflows.

Using Chrome Extension

Go to the URL bar ("Chrome Omnibox"), then type 'fa', a space, then type your task name and hit enter.

You can file into a project by providing it at the end, preceded by a #. After the project, you can provide a section preceded by a .. To file into a section in 'My Tasks' (your "user task list" in Asana lingo), just provide a section with no project name.

Using Alfred Workflow

Similarly, activate Alfred, then type 'fa', a space, then type your task name and hit enter. The same search syntax applies.

Contributions

This project, as with all others, rests on the shoulders of a broad ecosystem supported by many volunteers doing thankless work, along with specific contributors.

In particular I'd like to call out:

Audrey Roy Greenfeld for the cookiecutter tool and associated examples, which keep my many projects building with shared boilerplate with a minimum of fuss.
Sindre Sorhus and Sam Verschueren for the alfy tool, which provided an easy on-ramp to integrating this project with Alfred.
