Asana ACTION

Create Task Comment

Adds a comment (story) to an existing Asana task. Use this to post a text update or pinned note visible to task followers. Provide either text (plain text) or html_text (HTML-formatted), but not both. Returns the new story record including its gid and type. Example: call with task_gid: '1202345678901234', text: 'Approved — ready to ship!' → returns {gid: '1209012345678901', type: 'comment', text: 'Approved — ready to ship!'}. See the documentation
