How do I connect Asana?
Create, update and comment on Asana tasks from your agents.
What it gives you
The Asana integration adds task steps to your agents: creating, getting, listing, searching, updating and deleting tasks; subtasks, comments, tags, a task's projects, projects and users.
Tasks aren't created on their own: only by a step you add to the agent or by an action you turn on in the AI Assistant step's “Integrations” tab.
Connecting requires the Owner or Admin role.
Connecting
- On Integrations → Asana, press “Connect to Asana” and grant access with your Asana account.
- You pick the task's project not on the connection page but in the Asana step of your flow.
- If your Asana account is in a single workspace, the step can leave the workspace empty; if it's in several, pick the workspace in the step, or the step won't run.
Good to know
Asana steps run as the person who connected: tasks are created in their name and only in projects they can access in Asana. If they're removed from the workspace, someone on the team needs to connect again.
Tasks marked urgent move to the top of the project.
“Search tasks” works only on paid Asana plans; on a free plan the step goes to its error branch. A new task can take up to a minute to show up in search; for a task created a moment ago, use “List tasks”.
In a workspace set up with a company domain, pick a team in the “Create project” step.
Delete steps need confirmation on the step. A deleted task stays in the Asana trash of the person who connected for 30 days.
Disconnecting
Press “Disconnect”; Asana steps in your agents stop and Agenola's access in Asana is removed. Tasks already created stay in Asana.
