DepFlow + Asana
Automatic task dependencies — set when your Asana rules run.
What is DepFlow?
DepFlow adds the rule actions Asana's builder is missing.
Most of what it does is wire up your dependencies. Chain a task's subtasks so each one waits for the one before it. Make a parent wait for all its subtasks, or flip it so the subtasks wait for the parent, which is handy for approvals. Chain a whole section top to bottom, or hold one section until another is done. Every link it makes is an ordinary Asana dependency, so you can edit or remove it like any other.
But it does more than that. It can duplicate a task with its subtasks, attachments, a new project or a custom name. It can hand work to whoever has the least on their plate, or rotate it round-robin, and it skips anyone who's out of office. It can hold a comment and post it days later or on a set date. And Escalate checks back on a task and nudges it only if it's still stuck.
Run any of this from a rule, or fire it on one task from its Apps menu. Whatever DepFlow makes is real Asana data, and it never deletes your work.
How to connect DepFlow + Asana?
- Click "Add to Asana" and approve access. This connects your Asana workspace to DepFlow.
- Open any project → Customize → Rules → Add rule.
- Choose a trigger (e.g. "Run manually") and add a DepFlow action: Add dependency, Wire up subtasks, Duplicate task, Smart assign, Scheduled comment, or Escalate.
- Configure the action and publish the rule.
- Open a task and run the rule. DepFlow performs the action for you.
- To run an action on a single task without a rule, open the task → Apps → DepFlow.
