Automatic Task Numbering for Asana

Asana doesn't give tasks a short, human-friendly ID out of the box, which makes them hard to reference in commit messages, chat or standups. Astogi's Auto Numbering integration assigns every task in a project a unique, sequential number the moment it is created, so each piece of work has a clean identifier you can point to anywhere.

Asana Task Numbering for Asana

How it works

After you enable the integration, Astogi watches the project for new tasks and prefixes each one with the next number in sequence. Existing tasks keep their place and new tasks continue counting up, so numbering stays consistent and predictable across the whole project.

  • Every task gets a unique, sequential identifier automatically
  • Reference tasks cleanly in Git commits and pull requests
  • Faster standups and clearer cross-team communication
  • Works in the background with no manual upkeep
  • Asana user: auto-number@asana.astogi.com

How to set it up

  1. Open the Asana project that needs task numbers.
  2. Invite the Asana user auto-number@asana.astogi.com to the project.
  3. Create a task and Astogi assigns it the next unique number automatically.
  4. Reference that number in commits, pull requests, chat and standups.
