PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Reschedule downstream Asana tasks when an upstream milestone slips
Watches an Asana milestone for due-date changes and, when it slips, shifts every dependent downstream task by the same number of days and posts a summary to the project's Slack…
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.
- TriggerAsana milestone due-date changedAsana
- LogicCompute slip in days; skip if not later
- ActionFetch all dependent downstream tasksAsana
- ActionShift each dependent task's dates by the offsetAsana
- OutputPost reschedule summary to SlackSlack
What it does
When the due date of a flagged milestone in Asana moves later, this workflow recalculates the slip in calendar days and pushes that same offset onto every task that lists the milestone as a dependency, then announces what changed.
When to use it
Run this on any project where a single milestone gates a chain of follow-on work (design sign-off, API freeze, vendor delivery) and you are tired of dragging dozens of dependent tasks by hand every time a date moves.
How it works
- 1Asana fires a webhook when the milestone task's due date field changes.
- 2A logic step computes the delta in days and exits early if the date moved earlier or stayed the same.
- 3The workflow queries Asana for all tasks whose dependencies include the milestone.
- 4For each dependent task it shifts the start and due dates by the computed offset, respecting existing gaps.
- 5A Slack message lists the milestone, the slip size, and each rescheduled task with its new date.
