Quick answer:<\/strong> Yes, go links work in Asana. GoLinks has a native app in Asana’s App Directory,<\/a> one of more than a dozen native GoLinks integrations<\/a>. Go links in Asana task descriptions and comments automatically turn into clickable links with previews, so teammates always land on the right resource.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teams use go links everywhere, including Slack, email, Notion, and daily work tools. Asana is one of those tools. Tasks can use\u00a0go\/roadmap<\/em>, comments can link to\u00a0go\/runbook<\/em>, and briefs can reference\u00a0go\/brand-guidelines<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without the integration, none of that is clickable. A go link typed into a task description stays as plain text. Teammates must copy the link, open a new tab, or ask where it leads, defeating its purpose. The GoLinks app for Asana<\/a> closes that gap. It renders go links the same way Asana already renders any other link: clickable, underlined, and paired with a preview of the destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does the integration work in Asana?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The integration is controlled project by project, not workspace-wide. Turn it on for a project, and go links inside that project’s tasks and comments start converting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After installation, GoLinks detects go links in task descriptions and comments. Type a link like go\/pitch<\/em> or go\/blog<\/em>, and GoLinks converts it into a clickable link with a preview card, the same way Asana already unfurls a pasted Google Doc or GitHub link. Previews show where links lead, helping teammates find the right resource.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No special formatting is required. Write go links as usual, and Asana converts them when you save.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where teams put it to use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Go links tend to cluster around whatever a team references constantly, and Asana tasks are full of those references. A few patterns are common:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Engineering.<\/strong> Bug tickets and incident tasks often need the same handful of resources: a runbook, an on-call schedule, a postmortem template. Adding\u00a0go\/runbook<\/em>\u00a0or\u00a0go\/postmortem<\/em>\u00a0helps engineers find the right documentation without searching the wiki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marketing.<\/strong> Campaign and content tasks reference briefs, brand guidelines, and asset libraries constantly. Linking go\/campaign-brief<\/em> or go\/brand-guidelines<\/em> inside a task keeps everyone working from the current version instead of a copy someone saved to their desktop months ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sales and Support.<\/strong> Deal-related tasks benefit from quick access to go\/pricing<\/em> or go\/battlecards<\/em>, so reps and the customer success team pull from the same source instead of an outdated PDF attached to an old email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HR and People Ops.<\/strong> Onboarding tasks are a natural fit for go\/benefits<\/em> or go\/pto<\/em>, pointing new hires straight to the source of truth instead of a document that may or may not still be accurate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Getting started<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Install the GoLinks app from Asana’s App Directory<\/a> or your GoLinks dashboard<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Open the project where you want go links to become clickable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Turn the integration on for that project.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Type any go link into a task description or comment. It converts automatically as you save.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    That’s the entire setup. There’s no separate dashboard to manage inside Asana and nothing to configure beyond turning the app on for a given project. The go links themselves are still created and managed in GoLinks; Asana just renders them correctly once the integration is live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
