Asana Task Create

Overview

The Asana Task Create node creates a new task in a specified Asana project using the Asana REST API. It requires an Asana personal access token or OAuth credential configured in the workflow's credential store. Use this node when a battle outcome, workflow step, or external trigger should produce a trackable action item in Asana. If the API call fails (e.g. invalid project GID, auth error, rate limit), the node emits on the error port with the raw API error details.
