Asana ACTION

Delete Task

Deletes an Asana task. This moves the task to the deleting user's trash and removes it from active views immediately; it can be recovered for 30 days before Asana permanently removes it. Use Find Task by ID to confirm the task GID before deleting. Returns an empty data object {} on success. Example: call with task_gid: '1202345678901234' → returns {}. See the documentation

IMPLEMENTATION

Call this tool

Connect a user's Asana account once, then configure and run Delete Task from your backend or agent.

import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "asana-delete-task",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    asana: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    task_gid: "Task GID",
  },
})

console.log(result)
