Specific purposeOn demand and daily sync · Asana

Asana as the system of record for work

Use case

Video ideas and other tracked work already live in Asana. OpenClaw should file new cards there, and when a card already exists it should comment instead of rewriting the description. The business council then knows what is moving, what is stuck, and what is done.

What to connect

An Asana personal access token, the workspace id, and the Video Pipeline project. The business-council skill reads status from the local cache.

Setup

  1. Store the token in the environment.
  2. Set WORKSPACE and the project ids this assistant may touch. It should refuse projects that are not on the list.
  3. Sync task status into [ASANA CACHE PATH] on a schedule the business council can read.
  4. Create one test card, then update it, and confirm the second write is a comment.
  5. Point video-ideas at this skill for card creation.

Edit before you send: The workspace, the allowed projects, and the cache path.

Prompt to paste into OpenClaw

Save this as a skill named asana. Use workspace [WORKSPACE ID]. You may touch only these projects: [PROJECT IDS]. Sync tasks from those projects into [ASANA CACHE PATH] every day at [20:30] [TIMEZONE]: name, project, status, and whether it is in progress, blocked, or done. business-council reads that cache. When video-ideas or I ask for a new card, create it with the sections that skill specifies. When the card already exists, add a comment with the new information. Do not edit the description. The description is the original pitch, and the comments are the history. Do not complete, delete, or reassign a task unless I ask for that task by name. If a sync fails, keep the old cache, mark it stale, and tell me.

More OpenClaw prompts

  • Personal CRM from mail and calendar

    A year of email and meetings is a pile of names you cannot search. OpenClaw reads Gmail and Google Calendar, drops newsletters and cold pitches, and keeps a local profile for each person worth remembering. You ask in plain language who you know at a company, or who has gone quiet.

  • Meeting action items with an approval queue

    Meetings end and the promises disappear. OpenClaw waits until a meeting is over, pulls the Fathom transcript, matches the room to your CRM, and sends you each action item to approve. Approved items become Todoist tasks. Things other people owe you stay on a waiting-on list, except people on your own team.

  • Urgent email, only when it can wait no longer

    You do not live in the inbox, including on weekends. OpenClaw checks mail on a timer, ignores senders you have already marked as noise, and pings a Telegram topic only when something needs you now. When you say an alert was wrong, the next check is stricter.

  • Knowledge base you fill from a Telegram topic

    Links you meant to remember are scattered across chats. You drop a URL into one Telegram topic. OpenClaw saves the article, the video transcript, the full post thread, or the PDF, then you ask later in plain language. A new save can point at something you already kept.
