📏 With Rules and Templates in Asana
💧 The Invoice Raindown:
In our Asana workflow, we’ve revolutionized task management by creating one task per client, seamlessly housing their vital information, including name, country, language, and address.
Thanks to our automation, this information cascades down (like a refreshing rain) to relevant subtasks, such as quotes and invoices, streamlining our project organization.

Embracing a touch of whimsy, we’ve associated an animal symbol with each client, based on their potential.
