Asana ACTION
Create Project
Creates a new project in an Asana workspace or team. Use this to set up a new initiative, sprint, or work stream. For organization workspaces you must supply a
team GID (use List Teams to find it). Returns the new project record including its gid. Example: call with projectName: 'Q4 Marketing Campaign', workspace: '1200123456789012', team: '1203456789012345', defaultView: 'board' → returns {gid: '1204567890123456', name: 'Q4 Marketing Campaign'}.
