Asana
Project Management
Create and update tasks, projects, and comments in your workflows.
Overview
The Softr Asana integration lets your app create and manage work in your Asana workspace directly from your workflows. Trigger tasks from form submissions, user sign-ups, button clicks, or record updates, add comments and subtasks to keep conversations in sync, and pull in users and projects to enrich what you build.
Whether you're building a client portal, an internal task tracker, or a project-status dashboard, Asana gives your Softr app a live connection to how your team actually delivers work — new requests become tasks, status changes flow back and forth, and everyone stays on the same page in real time.
Available actions
- Task: CreateCreate a new Asana task whenever a workflow runs — set the name, description, assignee, due date, project, and more — so a form submission or sign-up becomes actionable work instantly.
- Task: GetPull a single task into your workflow to display it in a Softr list, log it to a record, or use its details in the next step.
- Task: UpdateChange any field on an existing task — reassign it, move its due date, or mark it complete — automatically as records change in your app.
- Task: DeleteRemove a task that's no longer needed, keeping your Asana workspace tidy as work is cancelled or cleaned up.
- Task: ListPull a list of tasks from a project, section, or assignee into your Softr app to power a live task board or project dashboard.
- Task: SearchFind tasks across a workspace by assignee, project, tag, or date range — perfect for surfacing overdue or high-priority work in a digest or dashboard.
- Subtask: CreateBreak a task down into steps by adding subtasks automatically — ideal for spinning up a checklist when a new client or project kicks off.
- Subtask: ListPull the subtasks of a task into your workflow to show progress or drive the next step.
- Comment: Add to TaskPost a comment on a task to keep everyone in the loop — log a status update, a customer note, or a hand-off message right where the work lives.
