Stop Losing Tasks in
Messy Email Threads

Turn internal email comments into fully categorized, prioritized, and assigned Asana tasks instantly.

"Tired of client requests falling through the cracks because your team is overwhelmed by their inbox?"

The Problem
🧊

Leads go cold

Tasks created too late because no one saw the email comment in time. Follow-ups were missed entirely.

📋

Manual overhead

Team members copy-pasted task details from FrontApp into Asana by hand. Slow, error-prone, and draining.

🔀

No prioritization

Urgent items sat in the same queue as routine tasks with no way to automatically flag what needed to go out today.

How It Works
01

Comment Added

Team member leaves an internal comment in a FrontApp shared email thread.

02

Parsed & Classified

n8n webhook fires; Claude AI reads the emoji prefix and extracts the task details.

03

Member Looked Up

The @mention is matched to an Asana email and GID via a lookup table in n8n.

04

Task Created

Asana task created in the right list — To Do or Urgent — and assigned instantly.
