Asana is a work management platform for organizing projects, workflows, and day-to-day tasks. Connecting it to AppSignal lets you turn an error incident into an Asana task. Asana is a personal integration: each person with access to an app who wants to use this feature has to complete these steps themselves. Create an Asana task in AppSignal

Adding Asana to your app

Asana has reorganized its interface, so the menus differ from older guides.
  • First, open Asana and create an API token:
    • Open your profile menu, which Asana now shows at the bottom of the sidebar.
    • Open Settings, then the Apps tab.
    • Select View developer console, previously labeled “Manage Developer Apps”.
    • Select Create new token, give it a name such as AppSignal, and copy the generated token.
  • Next, open your app on AppSignal.com.
    • Open the “Integrations” page for the app.
    • Select “Configure” for the Asana integration.
    • Paste your Asana API token in the “API token” field.
    • Copy and paste the project ID of the Asana project you want to link in the “Project ID” field.
      • The project ID is part of the Asana project URL. In newer URLs it’s the number that follows /project/, for example https://app.asana.com/1/<WORKSPACE_ID>/project/<PROJECT_ID>/list. Older URLs use the form https://app.asana.com/0/<PROJECT_ID>/board.
      • The URL can contain several numeric IDs, so make sure you copy the one directly after /project/, or after /0/ in the older format.
    • Select the “create integration” button to create your Asana integration.
If anything went wrong while validating the integration you will be prompted with the error message. Feel free to contact us if you experience any problems while setting up this integration.

Create Asana tasks for incidents

Once Asana is connected, you can create an Asana task for an error incident:
  1. Open the error incident’s details screen.
  2. In the Actions panel, select Send to Asana.
