Asana – New Actions & Triggers in Workflows

Modified on Fri, 12 Dec at 7:50 AM

You can now connect Asana directly to your workflows — making it easy to create tasks, update projects, and sync work between the software and Asana without relying on Zapier, Make, or custom webhooks.

Comment on Task (Instant) – Fires when someone adds a comment.
New User – Fires when a new user joins your Asana workspace.
Task Moved to Section (Instant) – Fires when a task moves between sections.
New Attachment Added (Instant) – Fires when a file is uploaded to a task.
Tag Added to Task (Coming Soon) – Fires when a tag is added.
New Subtask (Coming Soon) – Fires when a subtask is created.

Example Use Cases

Internal Notifications

A task is updated in Asana → the platform sends a Slack or email notification to the assigned team member.

Lead → Task Creation
A new lead or form submission is received → the platform automatically creates a new Asana task with contact details and follow-up notes.

Cross-Platform Project Syncing
A new project is created in Asana → the platform syncs it to ClickUp, Airtable, or other systems to keep all platforms in alignment.
