Whiteboard to Asana — converting meeting boards into tasks.

## The whiteboard-to-Asana gap

Asana teams often plan and kickoff work on a physical whiteboard — brainstorming in a room is faster than everyone typing into Asana simultaneously. The disconnect: the board has to become tasks, and someone has to do the data entry.

BoardSnap closes that gap. The snap-to-action-list step is ten seconds; the Asana entry step becomes a paste.

## Workflow: BoardSnap to Asana

Method 1: Manual paste

1. Snap the board with BoardSnap
2. Review and edit the action list inline
3. Copy plain text output
4. In Asana: open the project, use the multi-task text field (paste a list, Asana creates one task per line)
5. Assign owners, due dates, and sections

Asana's multi-task paste is underused — paste a plain list of tasks (one per line) and Asana creates them all in one step. BoardSnap's action list is already one item per line.

Method 2: CSV import For large boards with many items, export BoardSnap's summary as text, format as a CSV with columns (Name, Notes, Assignee, Due Date), and use Asana's CSV importer. This supports batch creation with metadata.

Method 3: Asana iOS app in the same session Snap in BoardSnap, switch to Asana iOS, and paste items directly. For teams using iPhones, the whole flow stays on the device in the conference room.

## Getting more out of the BoardSnap output for Asana

BoardSnap's action items come with any context that was written on the board. If the board says "Launch email campaign — @marketing, next Friday," BoardSnap reads the owner and date. You can paste the item's full text into the Asana task description for context.

For recurring meeting types (weekly team sync, quarterly planning), create a BoardSnap Project per meeting. The accumulated board history lets you track which tasks recur, which decisions have precedent, and what was committed in past sessions.
