Inefficiencies in using Asana as a two-way email helpdesk
Merchants struggle to use Asana as a support ticket system due to the need for paid seats for forwarding bots and the inability to reply directly to requesters. Additionally, emails sent via Asana contain confusing branding and links that recipients may perceive as spam.

To this day auto-forwarding emails to Asana burns a paid seat for a bot that does only that. When the email finally becomes a task, you cannot reply directly to the requester.
It can be confusing for clients and can be perceived as Spam for those not familiar with this application.
The bit where they get a link to the task card is the most confusing bit for the receipients.
