Skip the daily standup meeting. This scheduled automation pulls your Asana task state every morning at 9am, categorizes work into completed-yesterday, in-progress, at-risk, and blocked buckets, and posts a standup-ready summary to Slack.

Use this template

Open Asana Sprint Progress Report in Devin and create the automation with the default configuration. You can customize it before saving.

​
What this automation does

Daily standup prep is a tax on team leads and engineering managers. The Asana MCP gives Devin direct access to your projects, sections, and task details — so you get the same summary a human EM would write, every morning, without the human effort.

​
How it works

Trigger: Schedule event — recurring
  • Event: schedule:recurring
    • Conditions:
      • rrule matches FREQ=DAILY;BYHOUR=9;BYMINUTE=0
What Devin does: Starts a session with full event context, executes the prompt below, and (optionally) notifies you on failure.

Prerequisites

Example prompt

The template ships with this prompt. You can edit it after clicking Use template, or leave it as-is.

​
Setting it up

  1. Open Automations → Templates in Devin.
  2. Click Asana Sprint Progress Report. The create page opens with this template pre-filled.
  3. Connect any required integrations and install MCP servers if you haven’t already.
  4. Replace any placeholder values in the trigger conditions (for example, swap your-org/your-repo for your actual repo).
  5. Review the prompt and adjust it for your team’s language, conventions, and guardrails.
  6. Click Create automation.
Most automation templates include suggested ACU and invocation limits to bound cost during early rollout. Keep them as-is until you’re confident in the automation’s behavior, then raise them to fit your workload.

When to use this template

  • Engineering managers who prep daily standup updates by hand
  • Remote teams where async standups replace live meetings
