Asana Whatsapp Automation
Automatically send WhatsApp updates when an Asana milestone is completed. Keep everyone informed and smoothly move work to the next milestone while tracking progress.
Why This Workflow Matters
This workflow makes it easy to keep your team, clients, or stakeholders updated every time a milestone is completed in Asana.
Instead of manually sending messages or checking project boards, updates go out instantly through WhatsApp. This keeps progress clear, helps work move forward faster, and ensures no milestone is forgotten or delayed.
How The Automation Works
Here’s how this automation connects Asana, ActiveCampaign, and the D7 WhatsApp API in a simple way:
- Trigger: Milestone done
When a milestone is marked as done in Asana, the automation starts.
- ActiveCampaign Actions: Webhook
ActiveCampaign sends a webhook that connects to the D7 WhatsApp API. This is what actually pushes the update to WhatsApp.
- WhatsApp Message Sent: “Milestone {{milestone_name}} completed.”
A WhatsApp message is sent with the milestone name filled in, so the recipient knows exactly which milestone is finished.
- Follow-Up Steps: Next milestone
After the update is sent, the focus moves to the next milestone, helping your team stay aligned with what comes next.
- Goal / KPI: Progress
The main goal is to keep clear, visible progress, so everyone can easily see how the work is moving forward.
