CONTENT CREATION

Route an ad-hoc localization request from Slack

When someone posts a localization request in Slack with the source text and target languages, parses it, creates the parent Asana project plus per-locale tasks.

How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerLocalization request posted in SlackSlack
  • LogicParse message and validate required fields
  • ActionCreate parent Asana project for the requestAsanaAsana
  • ActionCreate one task per target localeAsanaAsana
  • OutputReply in-thread with project and task linksSlack

What it does

Lets anyone kick off a localization job straight from chat. An operator posts the copy and the languages they need in a Slack thread; the workflow structures it into a tracked Asana project with one task per locale and confirms back in the same thread.

When to use it

Use it for fast, informal requests that would otherwise get lost in chat — a one-off banner, an email subject line, a support macro — where filing a formal ticket is too much friction but you still want the work tracked.

How it works

  1. 1A Slack trigger fires on a localization request message in a designated channel.
  2. 2A logic step parses the message into source text, source locale, and target locales, rejecting it back to the author if required fields are missing.
  3. 3An Asana action creates a parent project for the request.
  4. 4An Asana action creates one task per target locale under that project.
  5. 5A Slack output replies in-thread with the project and per-locale task links.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  4. 4
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  5. 5
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
