Asana

Connect to Asana. Manage tasks, projects, teams, and workflow automation

Supports authentication: OAuth 2.0

Set up the agent connector

Register your Scalekit environment with the Asana connector so Scalekit handles the authentication flow and token lifecycle for you. The connection name you create will be used to identify and invoke the connection programmatically. Then complete the configuration in your application as follows:

1. Set up auth redirects

   • In Scalekit dashboard, go to Agent Auth → Create Connection. Find Asana and click Create. Copy the redirect URI. It looks like https://<SCALEKIT_ENVIRONMENT_URL>/sso/v1/oauth/<CONNECTION_ID>/callback.

     

   • Go to Asana Developer Console and click Create new app. Enter an app name.

   • In the left menu, go to OAuth. Under Redirect URLs, click Add redirect URL, paste the redirect URI from Scalekit, and click Add.

     

2. Enable multi-workspace install Optional

   Enable this if you want users outside your Asana workspace to install the app.

   • In your app settings, go to OAuth → App permissions.

   • Under App install permissions, enable Allow users outside your workspace to install this app.

     

3. Get client credentials

   • In Asana Developer Console, select your app.
   • Under OAuth, copy your Client ID and Client Secret.

4. Add credentials in Scalekit

   • In Scalekit dashboard, go to Agent Auth → Connections and open the connection you created.

   • Enter your credentials:

     • Client ID (from above)
     • Client Secret (from above)
     • Permissions (scopes — see Asana OAuth scopes reference)

     

   • Click Save.

Usage

Connect a user’s Asana account and make API calls on their behalf — Scalekit handles OAuth and token management automatically.

You can interact with Asana in two ways — via direct proxy API calls or via Scalekit optimized tool calls. Scroll down to see the list of available Scalekit tools.

Proxy API Calls

Node.js

import { ScalekitClient } from '@scalekit-sdk/node';
import 'dotenv/config';

const connectionName = 'asana'; // get your connection name from connection configurations
const identifier = 'user_123'; // your unique user identifier

// Get your credentials from app.scalekit.com → Developers → Settings → API Credentials
const scalekit = new ScalekitClient(
  process.env.SCALEKIT_ENV_URL,
  process.env.SCALEKIT_CLIENT_ID,
  process.env.SCALEKIT_CLIENT_SECRET
);
const actions = scalekit.actions;

// Authenticate the user
const { link } = await actions.getAuthorizationLink({
  connectionName,
  identifier,
});
console.log('🔗 Authorize Asana:', link);
process.stdout.write('Press Enter after authorizing...');
await new Promise(r => process.stdin.once('data', r));

// Make a request via Scalekit proxy
const result = await actions.request({
  connectionName,
  identifier,
  path: '/api/1.0/users/me',
  method: 'GET',
});
console.log(result);

Python

import scalekit.client, os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()

connection_name = "asana"    # get your connection name from connection configurations
identifier = "user_123"      # your unique user identifier

# Get your credentials from app.scalekit.com → Developers → Settings → API Credentials
scalekit_client = scalekit.client.ScalekitClient(
    client_id=os.getenv("SCALEKIT_CLIENT_ID"),
    client_secret=os.getenv("SCALEKIT_CLIENT_SECRET"),
    env_url=os.getenv("SCALEKIT_ENV_URL"),
)
actions = scalekit_client.actions

# Authenticate the user
link_response = actions.get_authorization_link(
    connection_name=connection_name,
    identifier=identifier
)
# present this link to your user for authorization, or click it yourself for testing
print("🔗 Authorize Asana:", link_response.link)
input("Press Enter after authorizing...")

# Make a request via Scalekit proxy
result = actions.request(
    connection_name=connection_name,
    identifier=identifier,
    path="/api/1.0/users/me",
    method="GET"
)
print(result)
