Asana Connector

The Asana Connector is an outbound protocol Connector that allows you to connect your BPMN service with Asana to get and create Asana tasks and projects.

Prerequisites​

To use the Asana Connector, you must have an Asana personal access token.

note

Use Camunda secrets to avoid exposing your Asana personal access token as plain text. Refer to our documentation on managing secrets to learn more.

Create an Asana Connector task​

A Connector can be applied to a task or an event using the append menu. Access the append menu using any of the three methods below:

  • From the canvas: Select an element and click the Change element icon to change an existing element, or use the append feature to add a new element to the diagram.
  • From the properties panel: Navigate to the Template section and click Select.
  • From the side palette: Click the Create element icon.

Once you have applied a Connector to your element, follow the configuration steps or read our guide on using Connectors to learn more.

Authentication​

In the Authentication section, provide a Personal access token. Read more on how to obtain it.
