The Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides + Asana integration helps teams stay aligned with contextual information, strategic objectives, and ongoing project execution as they do their work. Using Google smart chips, teams can mention Asana tasks directly into a Google Doc to surface relevant data from Asana and maintain visibility on workflow progress.

This example shows how an Asana task can be referenced in a Google Doc with a smart chip. Smart chips are also available in Sheets and Slides.

In addition to Asana tasks, smart chips also support projects, portfolios, status updates, and goals.
