Connect & Configure

Before you start building with Asana, you need to configure the integration.

  • Navigate to Workspace β†’ Automations in your app.
    ​

  • Click Create to build a new automation.
    ​

    • You can also prompt EVE to build the automation for you.

  • Add an Asana trigger / action/step.

  • Click Connect in the sidebar on the right and authorize Taskade.
    ​

    • If you have multiple workspaces, select the workspace you want to connect.
      ​

  • Configure and enable the automation (or continue adding steps).

Your Asana data is now available to automations and agents.


Asana Triggers

Use Asana triggers to automate your app's project logic, respond to task changes in real time, and create seamless project workflows.

Trigger

Description

New Task

Triggers when a new task is created in your Asana workspace

Task Updated

Triggers when a task is modified or its status changes


Asana Actions

Build comprehensive project workflows with Asana actions. Create tasks, update statuses, and search across projects using automations or AI agents.

Action

Description

Create Task

Create a new task in a specified project or section

Update Task

Modify an existing task's fields, status, or assignee

Search Tasks

Find tasks by name, assignee, project, or custom field


Use Asana with AI Agents

Your AI agents can call Asana actions as tools during conversations, allowing them to look up tasks, retrieve project data, and respond with live information.

Configure Asana Tool

  • Connect Asana to your workspace (see above).
    ​

  • Open your agent β†’ Tools tab.

  • Enable Automation Actions or add Asana as a custom tool.
    ​

  • The agent will call Asana actions automatically when relevant during chat.


Prompt Examples

Your AI agents can use Asana actions as tools during conversations:

User: "What tasks are due this week in the Design project?"
Agent β†’ asana.search_tasks({project: "Design", due: "this_week"}) β†’ 4 tasks found
Agent: "You have 4 tasks due this week in Design: Homepage Redesign, Icon Set, Style Guide Update, and Color Audit."

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I connect multiple Asana workspaces?
    ​

    • Yes. Connect each workspace separately in your workspace automations.
      ​

  • What authentication method does Asana use?
    ​

    • Taskade connects to Asana via OAuth or Personal Access Token (PAT).
      ​

  • Is there a rate limit?
    ​

    • Taskade respects Asana's API rate limits. High-volume workspaces may want to use scheduled triggers instead of real-time triggers to stay within limits.
