Asana
Add Asana to your product for your customers, and give your AI agents governed access to it.
Asana organises work as tasks living in projects, ordered into sections and rolled up into portfolios, and each of those is addressed by a gid rather than a name or a number anyone could guess. The detail that catches integrations out is where custom fields live. A field's settings are attached to the project, so the same field can be present on one project and missing from the next, and writing a value means knowing which project the task sits in and whether the field is enabled there. A task can also belong to more than one project at once, so there is no single parent to reason about. fastn keeps each workspace's authorisation per customer and tracks the API as Asana changes it.
In your product
Embedded for your customers. Per-tenant auth, no per-customer code, maintained by fastn.
Let each customer connect their own Asana workspace so tasks your product opens appear in the projects their team already watches.
Create tasks with the custom field values a project has actually enabled, resolved by gid when you write.
Read sections and portfolios so your product can show where a piece of work sits in that customer's structure.
React when a task is completed or moved, allowing for a task that belongs to several projects simultaneously.
For your AI agents
Governed, audited access for the agents you build, through the MCP server.
An agent lists the incomplete tasks in a project with their assignees and due dates.
An agent opens a task or hands one to somebody else within the permissions granted, and the project it wrote to is recorded.
An agent checks which custom fields a project supports before it tries to set one.
Example prompt
Which tasks in this project are overdue, and is the priority custom field even enabled on it?
Set up Asana in 4 steps
- 01Enable the Asana connector from your fastn dashboard.
- 02Have each customer authorise their own Asana account, so calls run under their credentials rather than a shared key.
- 03Decide which work items, assignees and due dates your product needs, map those fields, then enable the actions and triggers you want.
- 04Call it from your product and expose it to your agents through the same governed connection.
Why teams use the Asana integration
What you get by embedding it with fastn instead of building it yourself.
- Ship an Asana integration without building it. Your customers connect their own Asana account inside your product and work their work items, assignees and due dates there, with no per-customer code on your side.
- Handle the part that actually costs time: every team configures its own fields, statuses and workflow stages. fastn owns the auth, token refresh, rate limits, pagination and breaking-change fixes, so an Asana update is not your on-call problem.
- One integration serves your product and your agents. The same governed Asana connection powers in-product features and gives AI agents scoped, audited access, so you keep work items in step with what happens in your product without wiring it twice.

AWS Simple Storage ServiceAsana integration FAQ
How do I add an Asana integration to my product?
Enable the Asana connector in your fastn dashboard, then let each customer authenticate their own Asana account. fastn handles the OAuth flow, token storage and refresh per tenant, so there is no Asana client code in your app and no per-customer branch in your codebase. Setup is 4 steps.
Do my customers each connect their own Asana account?
Yes. Every connection is scoped to the individual customer, so each authorises their own Asana account and only ever sees their own work items, assignees and due dates. That per-tenant isolation is the point of an embedded integration: you support the long tail of customer setups without maintaining an integration per customer.
Can AI agents use this Asana integration?
Yes. The same connection is exposed to your agents through the fastn MCP gateway, with permissions scoped per tenant and every call audited. An agent lists the incomplete tasks in a project with their assignees and due dates.
Who maintains the Asana integration?
fastn does. When Asana changes an endpoint, deprecates a field or alters its auth, the fix lands in the connector rather than in your backlog, and your customers' connections keep working.
Can my product create and update work in Asana automatically?
Yes. Items can be created, updated, assigned and transitioned from your product, and changes made in Asana can trigger your workflows in return.
Does it adapt to each team's own Asana setup?
Yes. However a team has configured Asana, whether that is custom fields, statuses and workflow stages or its own calendars and working hours, those are mapped per customer, so an unusual setup works without custom code from you.
What can I build with the Asana integration?
A common starting point: let each customer connect their own Asana workspace so tasks your product opens appear in the projects their team already watches. Teams also use it for the other use cases listed above, and expose it to agents for governed reads and writes.
How much does the Asana integration cost?
It is included. Pricing is based on connected accounts, not on how many connectors you enable, so adding Asana does not change your per-connector cost. You can start free with 3 connected accounts.
