Asana Overview#

The Asana API taps into the feature-rich project management platform, allowing you to automate tasks, sync data across apps, and enhance team collaboration. With the Asana API on Pipedream, you can create tasks, update project timelines, and trigger workflows from events within Asana—like new tasks or comments—streamlining your project management processes. Pipedream’s serverless platform empowers you to build complex workflows with minimal overhead, integrating Asana with numerous other services to maximize productivity and reduce manual workload.

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Asana	`asana`	`app`	This component uses the Asana app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
Workspace	`workspace`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Project	`project`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Tasks	`tasks`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

Asana uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Asana account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Asana and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Asana API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

Todoist Overview#

The Todoist API unlocks the potential to automate task management with precision. With Pipedream, you can craft workflows that react to events in Todoist, like task completions or due date changes, or drive actions in Todoist, such as creating tasks or updating projects. By integrating Todoist with Pipedream, you can seamlessly connect your to-do list with other apps to streamline your productivity, manage tasks based on triggers from other services, or compile reports on your task management patterns.
