Setup

1. Connect to Asana

You should have already been prompted to do this when you copied the doc, but if you have not done so yet, go to the top right nav and click Insert then Packs and finally Asana. From the settings tab in the menu. you should be able to set a shared account to use for this doc.

Note: Due to how we handle re-authentication for templates we recommend doing this on the dialog when you initially copy or drag this template in.

4. Enable an Automation to send Tasks automatically (optional)

By default, this template expects you to hit the “Create Task in Asana” button to submit to Asana. However you might not want to rely on the user to do this, you also may have users submitting tasks via a

form⁠

in which case they won’t be able to click the submit button. We’ve bundled an automation with this template to solve this problem. To enable the automation click the ⚙️ in the top right, click Automations, and then “Auto-create Asana Tasks”. Toggle the Automation on, now when the name, description, and assignee of a task are filled out, the “Create Task in Asana” will be clicked automatically after a short delay.
