Using the Asana API with Trigger.dev

You can use Trigger.dev with any existing Node SDK or even just using fetch. Using io.runTask makes your Asana background job resumable and appear in our dashboard.

Use io.runTask() and the official SDK or fetch.

Use our HTTP endpoint to subscribe to webhooks

21
      userGid: z.string(),

  run: async (payload, io, ctx) => {
26
    // Wrap an SDK call in io.runTask so it's resumable and displays in logs
27
    const user = await io.runTask(
28
      "Get user",
29
      async () => {
30
        // This is the regular Asana SDK
31
        return asanaClient.users.getUser(payload.userGid);
32
      },
