Turn Email Threads Into Organized Asana Tasks

Not a wall of text. Native Asana dumps your email as one blob and strips HTML. Casso parses threads into comments, extracts due dates, and preserves formatting.

Asana

What Happens Today vs. With Casso

Today (Native Asana)

  • Forward email thread → body becomes one blob in description
  • Gmail add-on only syncs "most recent 5 messages"
  • "Need by Friday" ignored → you fill in due date manually
  • No AI extraction for priority or urgency
  • HTML converted to plain text — official FAQ confirms this
  • Task email addresses exist but routing "not a supported feature"

With Casso

  • Each reply → separate comment with timestamp
  • Full thread history preserved, not just last 5
  • AI reads content → due date auto-set
  • AI detects urgency → priority auto-set
  • HTML preserved
  • ticket:xxxx in subject → routes to existing task

If you spend 2 minutes per email copying details into Asana tasks, and you get 20 client emails a day, that's 40 minutes. Every day. Casso does it in seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Asana already have email-to-task?

Yes. It dumps your email body as one block of text in the description. The Gmail add-on only syncs the "most recent 5 messages." You still fill in due dates and priority by hand.

Can Asana extract due dates from emails?

No. Asana has AI features, but they don't apply to email-to-task. Natural language like "need this by Friday" is ignored. You set the due date manually after the task is created.

What about task email addresses for routing replies?

Task email addresses exist in Asana, but according to an Asana Forum Leader, routing replies to existing tasks is "not a supported feature." Casso makes this work with the ticket:xxxx pattern.

Is this just for agencies?

No. Anyone drowning in client emails, vendor communication, support requests, or internal asks. If email is how work arrives and Asana is where you manage it, Casso connects them.
