About Asana

Asana is a work management platform designed to help teams orchestrate their work—from daily tasks to strategic initiatives. Teams across marketing, operations, product development, and sales use Asana to plan projects, assign tasks, track progress, and hit deadlines with clarity and accountability.

Asana's core capabilities include:

• Tasks & Projects: Organize work into actionable tasks nested within projects, with assignees, due dates, subtasks, and dependencies

• Portfolios: Get a bird's-eye view of multiple projects to track progress, status, and resource allocation across initiatives

• Timelines & Gantt Charts: Visualize project schedules, identify bottlenecks, and adjust plans with drag-and-drop timeline management

• Workload Management: Monitor team capacity in real time to prevent burnout and optimize resource allocation

• Custom Fields: Add task-level metadata like priority, stage, budget, or effort to enable advanced filtering and reporting

• Automation Rules: Trigger actions automatically when tasks move between stages, deadlines approach, or assignments change

The Asana API enables developers to:

• Authenticate via OAuth 2.0 for multi-user applications or Personal Access Tokens for single-user integrations

• Query and update tasks, projects, portfolios, and custom field data

• Create webhooks to receive real-time notifications when project data changes

• Build integrations that connect Asana with CRM, communication, and development tools

• Access audit logs and administrative data through Service Accounts (Enterprise only)

Why Integrate Asana with Emergent?

Building custom Asana integrations typically requires significant engineering effort: registering OAuth applications in the Asana Developer Console, implementing authorization flows, handling Personal Access Token authentication, mapping Asana's nested data structures (tasks, subtasks, projects, portfolios), building UIs, and maintaining sync logic across multiple platforms. Each integration can take weeks to develop and deploy.

Emergent eliminates this complexity:

• Build by prompt: Describe your workflow in plain English, like "Sync Asana project milestones with Slack and update Google Sheets when tasks are completed," and Emergent generates the complete application.

• Asana-aware intelligence: Emergent understands Asana's structure (custom fields, task dependencies, portfolio hierarchies) and automatically maps data correctly across integrations.

• Multi-tool orchestration: Connect Asana with Slack for notifications, Google Sheets for reporting, HubSpot for sales-to-delivery handoffs, GitHub for engineering workflows, and Salesforce for customer operations, all in one workflow.

• Production-ready reliability: Built-in webhook handling, rate limit management, retry logic, error recovery, and audit logs ensure your integrations run smoothly at scale.

• Secure by design: Encrypted credential storage for OAuth tokens and Personal Access Tokens, environment isolation (dev/staging/prod), role-based access control, and compliance-friendly audit trails.

How Emergent Works with Asana in Real Time?

STEP 1: Describe your workflow

Example:

"When an Asana task in our 'Product Launch' project moves to 'Ready for Review,' send a Slack notification to the #launches channel, create a row in our Launch Tracker Google Sheet, and generate a HubSpot task for the sales team."

STEP 2: Declare your integrations

Say "Asana + Slack + Google Sheets + HubSpot." Emergent configures authentication flows, API connections, and webhook subscriptions for all platforms.

STEP 3: Connect your Asana workspace

Authenticate using OAuth 2.0 (for multi-user apps) or provide a Personal Access Token from your Asana Developer Console (for single-user or script-based access). Emergent stores credentials securely in an encrypted vault with environment separation.

STEP 4: Map your Asana data

Emergent introspects your Asana workspace to discover projects, custom fields, tags, and portfolios. You select which projects to monitor and which fields to sync (e.g., "Priority" custom field → Sheets column, "Assignee" → Slack username).

STEP 5: Configure triggers

Set up Asana webhooks for real-time updates when tasks change status, scheduled syncs for daily reporting, or on-demand actions triggered by button clicks in your app.

STEP 6: Test your workflow

Preview how data flows between systems, simulate webhook events, validate field mappings, and review logs, all before going live.

STEP 7: Deploy in one click

Push your integration to production with monitoring, error alerts, and usage analytics. Roll back instantly if needed.

STEP 8: Iterate and expand

Add new steps ("Also create a GitHub issue when 'Engineering' tasks are assigned"), connect additional tools, or modify logic, all through natural language prompts.
