Have you ever wished you could automate checking your to-do list and sending yourself reminders? With Zapier Central's AI capabilities, you can build an agent that does just that - without writing a single line of code. In this video, you'll learn how to create an AI automation that fetches your Asana tasks and sends you a daily Slack message, keeping you on top of your projects effortlessly.

Setting Up Your Zapier Central AI Automation

To get started, create a new bot in Zapier Central and connect your Asana and Slack accounts. Zapier Central uses behaviors, instant actions, and data sources to build powerful AI-driven workflows. In this tutorial, we'll focus on creating a behavior that automates your daily task reminders.

Building an AI-Powered Workflow for Asana Task Automation

Follow these steps to set up your AI-powered workflow:

1. Add a trigger for the AI automation, such as messaging the bot with a specific phrase like "get Asana tasks".
2. Provide instructions for the AI to follow, specifying the steps it should take to fetch tasks, retrieve task information, and generate a Slack message.
3. Configure actions for the AI automation:
   • Use an API request to fetch tasks from your Asana projects.
   • Utilize the "Find Task by ID" action to retrieve specific task information.
   • Generate an AI-powered Slack message with the task details.

Scheduling and Testing Your AI Automation

Once your AI-powered workflow is set up, you can schedule it to run daily at a specific time, such as 8:45 a.m. on weekdays. Test your automation to ensure it functions properly, and troubleshoot any issues that may arise. Zapier Central allows you to provide feedback to the bot, helping it learn and improve over time.
