Overview
Connect Asana to Taskade so task management runs in both directions automatically. A New Task in Asana can flow straight into your Taskade workspace, and your AI agents or automations can create, update, search, and comment on Asana tasks without anyone copying anything by hand.
TL;DR: Asana works both ways inside Taskade automations. A trigger pulls Asana events in, like New Task, so your workspace reacts automatically. Actions push data back out, like Create Task or Add Comment to Task, so updates happen on their own. One connection covers both directions, part of 100+ bidirectional integrations.

The Asana Integration at a Glance
The Asana integration moves work in two directions through one connection. Triggers pull events from Asana into Taskade, so your workspace reacts the moment a task appears. Actions push data from Taskade back out to Asana, so tasks get created, updated, and commented on their own. You authorize once, then build as many flows as you need.
Both directions share the same authorized connection, so you set up Asana once and reuse it across every automation and agent in your workspace.
Connect & Configure Asana
Before you start building with Asana, you need to configure the integration.
- Navigate to Workspace → Automations in your app.
- Click Create to build a new automation.
- You can also prompt Taskade EVE to build the automation for you.
- Add an Asana trigger or action/step.
- Click Connect in the sidebar on the right and authorize Taskade to access your Asana account.
- Configure and enable the automation (or continue adding steps).
Your Asana data is now available to automations and agents.
Asana Triggers
Triggers start an automation the moment something happens in Asana. The New Task trigger fires when a task is created in a project you watch, so Taskade can react in real time, mirror the task, notify a teammate, or hand it to an AI agent. Pair it with Taskade-native triggers like Schedule or Webhooks for time-based or external-event flows.
| Trigger | Description |
|---|---|
| New Task | Triggers when a new task is created in Asana |
Asana Actions
Actions let Taskade write back to Asana. Create, update, search, and delete tasks, or add comments, all from inside an automation or directly from an AI agent. Each action runs on its own once the flow is enabled, so nobody has to switch tabs to keep both tools in sync.
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Create Task | Create a new task in Asana |
| Update Task | Update an existing task in Asana |
| Get Task | Get details of a specific task in Asana |
| Delete Task | Delete a task in Asana |
| Add Comment to Task | Add a comment to a task in Asana |
| Search Tasks | Search tasks in an Asana project |
Here is how the two directions line up at a glance:
ASANA ──────────────► TASKADE (trigger: events in)
New Task your workspace reacts
TASKADE ─────────────► ASANA (actions: data out)
Create / Update / Get
Delete / Comment / Search
Use Asana with AI Agents
Your AI agents can call Asana actions as tools during conversations. Ask in plain English and the agent manages tasks, adds comments, and searches your projects, choosing the right action on its own. Asana joins the agent's 34 built-in tools, so it sits alongside web search, file analysis, and your other connectors in one chat.
Configure Asana Tool
- Connect Asana to your workspace (see above).
- Open your agent → Tools tab.
- Enable Automation Actions or add Asana as a custom tool.
- The agent will call Asana actions automatically when relevant during chat.
Prompt Examples
Your AI agents can use Asana actions as tools during conversations:
- "Create a task called 'Q2 Planning' in the Marketing project"
- "Get the details of the onboarding task"
- "Add a comment to the design review task: 'Approved by stakeholders'"
- "Search for all incomplete tasks in the Engineering project"
- "Delete the duplicate task from the backlog"
Example Workflows
Here are a few ways to put Asana automation into practice:
- Task mirroring: New Task trigger in Asana, then create a matching task in Taskade so both tools stay in sync.
- Standup reports: Use a Schedule trigger to search Asana for recently completed tasks and post a summary to Slack.
- Feedback loop: When a Form submission arrives, create an Asana task and add a comment with the submission details.
Turn Asana Into a Live Bridge
You can go past one-off syncs and build a bridge app that keeps Asana and Taskade in lockstep. Describe what you want in Taskade Genesis and Taskade EVE, the meta-agent behind Taskade Genesis, builds it: a working hub where every new Asana task lands as a connected record, agents triage and comment automatically, and reliable automation workflows push status changes back to Asana on their own.
You see one board showing both tools as a single source of truth. Your team logs in with their own access, and the sync runs in the background without anyone copying tasks between tabs. Build your Asana bridge with a prompt →
