# Asana Connector Reference

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

Asana is a SaaS-based project management tool that enables teams of all sizes to manage their daily
tasks, schedules, and deliverables.

## Connections

To connect to a system, whether it is a source of data or the target where you are sending data, you
must create a connection with that system’s required credentials. You typically connect to different
systems within a flow and can reuse each connection every time you need to connect.

This system requires the following credential information for its connections:

Connection Name

Enter a connection name that will help you remember the details of this connection. You can reuse
connections multiple times in a single flow, and in more than one flow, and the credentials are
hidden after you create the connection. Therefore, it’s helpful to provide a name that easily
identifies this connection from others.

Only you can see the connection. Other users in your Composer app must create their own connections.

Older connections may expire if not regularly used. Asana sets the amount of time a connection
remains valid.

Username

The OAuth username that you use to log in to Asana.

Password

The OAuth password that you use to log into Asana.

## Triggers

Each flow starts with either a _scheduler_ or a _trigger_. Schedulers are set to a default frequency
of 15 minutes. Triggers, such as "each time a new record is created", are defined by you and provide
multiple options related to the data in your system.

Triggers use a polling process to actively check for new updates from an external system. The
polling frequency is 15 seconds.

This system provides the following trigger options:

New or updated task

Fires when a task is created or an existing task is updated.

### Polling Frequency

For triggers in this connector, the **Polling Frequency** field is required. This field enables you
to select how often Composer makes a request to the underling system API to look for changes to
records in active flows. You can select a different polling frequency for each flow in your
organization. With a shorter frequency, the flow executes more often; however, a shorter frequency
consumes more [API calls](https://docs.mulesoft.com/general/automation-credits-usage-and-rates). For example, if you have
an order management flow, you might require nearly real-time updates, which can be achieved with a
15-second polling interval (which equates to 5760 API calls per day). In contrast, if your flow
updates a pricing catalog, you could poll the flow every hour (which equates to 24 API calls per
day).

## Actions

After you connect to a system and define the trigger or configure a scheduler, you define the
actions that the flow performs. For example, you can copy a record between different systems, such
as Workday and Salesforce. The actions you can perform depend on which system you are connected to.

This system provides the following actions:

Create new task

Creates a new task record.

When creating a new task record, store the values for both the User ID and the Task ID in the source
system for use when updating task records.

Update task

Returns the completed and updated task record.

Add comment to card

Comment on a task to ask questions, provide extra information, or to offer insight. The comment
appears on the card.

## Custom Fields

Custom fields are not supported. Using MuleSoft Composer, you can access standard field values for
actions and triggers that you set in the Asana record.
