Check launch readiness without the chaos
Check Asana tasks and Google Docs to compile a launch readiness report for Slack
Overview
Launch day is chaos. Tasks scattered across Asana, docs in Google Drive, and a Slack channel full of people asking if we are ready. This template pulls it all together: check task status in Asana, reference key docs, and compile a readiness assessment you can review and post to Slack. The PMM makes the call, not the AI.
How it works
Give the AI your Asana launch project and any related Google Docs (briefs, messaging docs, checklists). It pulls task status, flags what is incomplete or blocked, and drafts a readiness assessment with a clear done/not-done/blocked breakdown. You review, add context or adjust the assessment, and post the final status update to Slack.
Who this is for
Product marketing managers coordinating launches across multiple workstreams. Most useful in the final days before launch when stakeholders need a clear answer on whether everything is on track.
Suggested prompt
Help me check launch readiness. Here is what I need:
- Asana project: [launch project name or ID]
- Key docs to reference: [Google Doc URLs for briefs, messaging, checklists]
- Launch date: [target date]
- Slack channel: [where to post the readiness update]
Pull task status from Asana, check the referenced docs, and compile a readiness assessment showing what is done, what is open, and what is blocking. Let me review before posting to Slack.
Frequently asked questions
What does launch readiness actually check?
The template pulls task completion status from Asana and surfaces related documents from Google Docs. The AI compiles what is done, what is still open, and what is blocking. You make the go/no-go call based on the full picture.
Can I use this for recurring launches or just one-time events?
Both. For recurring launches like monthly releases, you can reuse the same prompt and Asana project. For one-time events, just point it at the relevant project and docs.
How does the Slack posting work?
After you review and edit the readiness assessment, the AI posts it to a Slack channel you specify. This replaces the manual status update message you would otherwise write from scratch.
What if my launch tasks are in a different tool?
This template is built for Asana, but the pattern works the same way. You could modify the template for Jira, ClickUp, or other project management tools that Zapier supports.
