Asana ACTION

Search Sections

Searches for sections by name within an Asana project. Use this to find section GIDs before calling Add Task to Section or when filtering tasks by section. The sectionName filter is a client-side substring match. Returns section records with gid and name. Example: call with project: '1204567890123456', sectionName: 'In Progress' → returns [{gid: '1203456789012345', name: 'In Progress'}]. See the documentation

IMPLEMENTATION

Call this tool

Connect a user's Asana account once, then configure and run Search Sections 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-search-sections",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    asana: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    project: "Project",
    sectionName: "Name",
  },
})

console.log(result)
