Asana

Subscribe to task changes, manage projects and more.

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

Example code using Asana

Below are some working code examples of how you can use Asana with Trigger.dev. These samples are open source and maintained by the community, you can copy and paste them into your own projects.

Get user details from Asana A job that is triggered by a Asana webhook.

// Create an HTTP endpoint to listen to Asana webhooks.
6
// (This will create the endpoint URL on the `trigger.dev` dashboard)
7
// Create a Asana webhook by providing the endpoint URL and interested resources/events.

// (use https://developers.asana.com/reference/createwebhook)
