Asana ACTION

Find Task by ID

Retrieves the complete record for a single Asana task by its GID. Use this to fetch full task details (description, assignee, due date, custom fields) after obtaining a task GID from Search Tasks. Use optFields to request additional fields not returned by default. Example: call with task_gid: '1202345678901234', optFields: ['due_on','assignee','custom_fields'] → returns the full task record for that GID. See the documentation

IMPLEMENTATION

Call this tool

Connect a user's Asana account once, then configure and run Find Task by ID 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-find-task-by-id",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    asana: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    task_gid: "Task GID",
    optFields: ["Opt Fields"],
  },
})

console.log(result)
