00:00:00,300 --> 00:00:01,880
Here's how to create and test

2
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:03,756
a project automation in Asana.

3
00:00:04,206 --> 00:00:06,252
From Browse projects,

4
00:00:06,252 --> 00:00:08,670
click + Create project.

5
00:00:09,570 --> 00:00:11,549
Choose the Product launch template

6
00:00:11,549 --> 00:00:12,930
with Use template.

7
00:00:13,630 --> 00:00:15,330
Asana opens the new project

8
00:00:15,330 --> 00:00:17,590
and switches to its Board view.

9
00:00:18,628 --> 00:00:21,222
With the Product launch board open,

10
00:00:21,222 --> 00:00:23,569
access project customization options

11
00:00:23,569 --> 00:00:24,940
from Customize.

12
00:00:25,590 --> 00:00:27,122
In the side panel,

13
00:00:27,122 --> 00:00:29,694
open Automations to build rules.

14
00:00:30,991 --> 00:00:32,910
On Add automation,

15
00:00:32,910 --> 00:00:35,743
choose Start from scratch.

16
00:00:36,643 --> 00:00:38,925
The automation builder already shows

17
00:00:38,925 --> 00:00:40,623
the trigger Task is moved

18
00:00:40,623 --> 00:00:43,287
to a section for Launch preparation.

19
00:00:43,287 --> 00:00:45,303
To define what happens next,

20
00:00:45,303 --> 00:00:47,659
add an action with + Add step.

21
00:00:48,930 --> 00:00:50,609
An Add comment action is set

22
00:00:50,609 --> 00:00:52,956
to comment in Task, and the message field

23
00:00:52,956 --> 00:00:54,821
is filled in on the right.

24
00:00:54,821 --> 00:00:56,584
When the rule looks correct,

25
00:00:56,584 --> 00:00:58,290
activate it with Publish.

26
00:00:58,990 --> 00:01:01,133
The automation publishes, and the board

27
00:01:01,133 --> 00:01:03,406
returns with a confirmation message.

28
00:01:04,272 --> 00:01:06,554
Back on the board, the task in Launch

29
00:01:06,554 --> 00:01:08,866
preparation is highlighted, and the left

30
00:01:08,866 --> 00:01:11,168
side shows the automation running.

31
00:01:11,168 --> 00:01:13,235
Open Kickoff and planning to check

32
00:01:13,235 --> 00:01:15,792

33
00:01:16,492 --> 00:01:18,410
The task details panel opens,

34
00:01:18,410 --> 00:01:20,132
then scrolls to the Comments

35
00:01:20,132 --> 00:01:22,444
section showing the added comment.

36
00:01:23,936 --> 00:01:25,319
The task now shows

37
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,352
the automation comment in its details.
