Important Considerations

  • GID (Global Identifier) is Asana's unique ID system used to reference all objects

  • Workspaces contain projects, which contain sections and tasks

  • Tasks can have subtasks, creating hierarchical work breakdown

  • Adding tasks to sections removes them from other sections automatically

  • Custom fields provide project-specific data structure

  • Access levels control team collaboration and project permissions

  • Templates enable standardized task creation across projects

⚠️ Organization: Moving tasks between sections removes them from other sections. Plan your project structure accordingly.

How Asana Actions Work in Your Workflow

  1. Add the appropriate Asana action based on your project management needs

  2. Connect your Asana account securely

  3. Configure required fields (workspace, project, task details, etc.)

  4. Set optional properties for advanced functionality and team collaboration

  5. Connect the action to other workflow steps as needed

  6. When the workflow runs, the Asana action will execute the specified operation

  7. Task and project data become available as variables for subsequent workflow actions

Common Workflow Patterns

Automated Project Setup

  • Create projects with predefined structure and team assignments

  • Generate tasks from external triggers with complete details

  • Set up standardized workflows using templates

Task Management and Progression

  • Update task status based on external system changes

  • Move tasks through project sections as work progresses

  • Create subtasks automatically for complex work breakdown

Team Collaboration and Reporting
