Using Asana connector

Get details of your Workspace

For instance, if we want to get the details of a workspace in Asana, we have to go to the data-bind section of our control and select the Asana connector, select GetWorkspaceDetails endpoint, and finally select our configured account.

Provide/select the name of the workspace configured with your registered email ID, then bind the keys as columns for the control and click Test & Finish.

Adding the task to a section

Now if you want to change the section of a task or add an existing task to a section of your project in a workspace you can do it by selecting the AddTaskToSection endpoint. This will add a task the specified section provided by the user.

You can trigger it through actions and data bind section of several controls.

Let’s try this out using the button control. In the events section of the button control, we will add the server-side action of the Asana connector. Select the AddTaskToSection endpoint then select the configured account.

Next, it will ask you to choose the project from your account, to where you want to add the task to a section. Select the section as well as the task you want to assign. Do Continue and then Finish.
