Tasks with nobody's name on them
An unassigned task is nobody's job, which in practice means it's often nobody's job until a customer complains.
BoldBellowsA task with an actual owner
BoldBellows builds a Squarespace to Asana sync that gives each order a real task: an assignee, a due date pulled from your ship promise, and a subtask for every line item if that's how your team likes to work. Your storefront is only ever read from, never written to.
Priced once, from $450
No connector fee shows up later
Chapter 01Tasks that belong to nobody
A quick Asana connector can usually manage to create a task. Assigning it to the right person, giving it a due date that means something, breaking it into the pieces a real order actually has, that's the part most of them skip entirely.
Fifty unassigned tasks sat in our project by Monday. Nobody owned them, so nobody moved them, and orders just kept quietly piling up behind the ones already there.
An unassigned task is nobody's job, which in practice means it's often nobody's job until a customer complains.
An order with four different items gets one line, so packing it means switching back to Squarespace to see what's actually inside.
Without a due date tied to a real ship promise, "soon" is the only deadline anyone's actually working toward.

After
Chapter 02How it works
Three parts carry each order from your storefront to a task that's ready to work on. Nothing on the Squarespace side ever gets touched; the sync checks it, decides who and how, and Asana takes it from there.
The credential behind this build reads orders and line items only; nothing about your catalog, checkout or account settings is reachable from it.
Each order's Asana task id is stored the first time it's created, so the next pass finds the same task rather than starting a new one.
A status change updates the existing task's fields and section; it never spins up a second task for an order already being worked.
Chapter 03The project
Each task carries the detail your package covers. Sections, subtasks and custom fields are all sketched out with you first, and adjustable through your included rounds of changes.
Every paid order gets its task here first, checked against order id so nothing duplicates.
Your task moves on its own once the Squarespace order status actually changes.
Each line item becomes its own subtask, so packing checks off piece by piece.
Each write gets logged as it happens, so a stalled task surfaces here before anyone notices it on the board.
Chapter 04Who this fits
If half your project is unassigned tasks nobody's claimed, giving every order a real owner is what turns it back into something worth checking each morning.
Your own task list tells you exactly what's owed today, without a second tab open to Squarespace.
Assignments split the work automatically instead of everyone eyeballing the same unsorted list.
A project that already automates internally finally gets order tasks it can react to correctly.
One project for fulfillment work, whichever Squarespace storefront the order actually came in through.
Chapter 05The options
Most routes below can create a task somewhere. Assigning it, dating it and breaking it apart correctly is where most of them stop.
| Question | Manual entry | Zapier or Make | Generic connector app | BoldBellows build |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Assigns the task to someone | Depends entirely on someone not forgetting | Rarely part of the default setup | Sometimes, on a higher tier | Yes, based on your own mapping rules |
| Prevents duplicate tasks | Nothing stops a busy afternoon logging one twice | Possible, if it was set up carefully | Usually, within its own scope | Its Asana gid is remembered and checked every pass |
| Breaks an order into subtasks | Whoever's typing has to remember to | Not something a generic action does | Not usually offered at all | One subtask per line item, automatically |
| What it costs over time | Nothing billed, plenty of time spent | Usage-based fees that scale with volume | A recurring bill, usually $18 to $50 | One-off price from $450 |
| Where it lives | Your own Asana account | Piped through a separate automation platform | Whatever fixed setup that app was built around | An Asana project and a token only you control |
The part most quick automations never bother with. Creating an empty task takes one API call; deciding who should own it, what its due date should read, and how to split it into subtasks that match the actual order is the harder problem, and it's exactly what separates a task worth opening from one that gets skipped.
InterludeA project worth trusting
Pick which orders qualify, how far each task gets broken down and how often Asana checks back, and a price with a real timeline appears immediately. Two weeks covers most builds, with room to move faster if you're willing to pay for it.
From $450, a single fee · You own everything we build
Pick a package, answer three short questions about who owns a task, how much detail it carries and how often Asana refreshes, and your price and go-live date move as you choose.
Chapter 06The process
Getting there takes six stages and, on your end, roughly half an hour spread across the whole build rather than one long sitting.
A short call
We work out who should own which kind of order, what your sections should be called, and how far a task should be broken apart.
A few minutes each side
A Squarespace key scoped to read access, and an Asana personal access token limited to the project this build touches, both generated by you from a step-by-step guide.
The bulk of the work
Task creation comes first, then the rules deciding who gets assigned what, then whatever subtask breakdown your package includes.
Before anyone else sees it
Real recent orders get pushed through against a duplicate project first, so a wrong assignment or a broken subtask shows up somewhere nobody's relying on yet.
A short back-and-forth
You look over real tasks as they land and tell us what needs shifting; that feedback gets folded in over the rounds your package covers.
Handover
You receive a written breakdown of every rule and field, and from that point the project assigns and updates tasks without anyone touching it.
Chapter 07Trust
A task can name a customer and carry their order total, so both credentials in this build are trimmed down to exactly what's needed and nothing beyond it.
Orders and their line items are as far as this credential reaches; it was never granted the ability to touch anything else in your account.
The Asana token this build uses reaches only the project it was created for, with no visibility into anything else in your organization.
When more than one of us needs access, each of us signs in as ourselves; nobody's account gets handed around during the build.
Revoke the Asana token, or pull the Squarespace key, and the next scheduled run simply has nothing it can authenticate with.
Order detail is read, placed onto its task, and that's where it stops; we don't keep a second copy of it for ourselves.
Your Asana subscription is between you and Asana; BoldBellows bills for the build itself and nothing on top once it's delivered.
"An assignment rule that's wrong once erodes trust in the whole project. We'd rather push a build back a day than ship one that assigns orders to the wrong person."

AI Translation & Localisation
When we expanded abroad we needed fast, accurate translations. BoldBellows built an AI translation system that turns our content into several languages instantly.
The translations read naturally and suit each culture. We now serve customers in five new countries without hiring translators. BoldBellows helped us go global.
AI Chatbot & Customer Support
BoldBellows built an AI support chatbot for our online boutique, and it has changed how we run the business. We used to have two full-time staff answering the same questions all day. Now the AI handles order tracking, product recommendations and even refund requests on its own.
What surprised me most is how natural it sounds. Customers compliment the ‘agent’ without realizing it’s AI. Our support workload dropped by 75% and customer satisfaction went up dramatically.

AI Video & Voice Automation
We publish product videos every week, and BoldBellows introduced us to AI video automation. The system writes the script, voices it and produces the finished video in minutes.
The quality is remarkable: professional voiceovers, clean visuals and smooth editing. Production time went from three days to under 30 minutes, and we scaled our video marketing without adding cost.
AI Booking & Scheduling Automation
Our coaching business needed a better way to schedule. BoldBellows automated all of it: bookings, reminders, cancellations and follow-ups.
No-shows fell by 60% and clients enjoy how smooth it is. It feels personal, not robotic. One of the best upgrades we’ve made.

BoldBellows is hands-down the best AI automation partner we’ve worked with. Their systems are fast, reliable and built around how our business actually works.
Every automation they’ve delivered, from customer service to content, runs flawlessly. We’ve saved time, cut costs and grown faster than we expected.
Chapter 09Questions
A rundown of the questions that come up most. Anything unique to your own project is best raised directly in the quote request.
In most cases, yes. We review your current sections and fields and either build straight into them or suggest a few tweaks so the sync behaves predictably.
That's left alone. Only the fields this build manages get touched on the next pass, so a manual reassignment doesn't get overwritten without reason.
Yes, with the auto-assignment by product type extra, a task goes to whichever team member is mapped to that product category.
With the Rules mapping extra, task creation and every move are shaped to match what your existing Rules are already listening for.
That's the default. Refunds and cancellations only get pulled in if you switch that on under the tasks question in the configurator.
Yes, the full historical backfill extra brings recent past orders in as tasks, so the project isn't starting from a blank slate.
Our sync health check flags a broken write right away rather than letting it sit unnoticed. Add aftercare and we handle the fix, plus any field tuning it needs, for three months after handover.
No. What's quoted is a one-time build cost. Your Asana plan continues as its own separate billing relationship with Asana.
A pile of unassigned tasks is just a to-do list nobody owns. Set this up once and each order arrives with a name attached, dated realistically, tested against orders your store has actually taken, and it's yours in full the moment we hand it over. Configure a price below, or tell us how your project runs and get a quote drawn up directly. It is also the answer to squarespace orders to asana task, squarespace asana integration and squarespace asana automation.
