Asana Task Update

Overview

The Asana Task Update node modifies an existing Asana task by its task ID, allowing workflows to update fields such as name, description, assignee, due date, completion status, and custom fields. Use it to reflect battle outcomes, sync AI-generated results, or automate project tracking after a workflow execution completes. Requires a valid Asana API credential configured in the workflow's credential store. If the task ID is not found or the API call fails, execution routes to the error output.

Configuration

Field	Type	Required	Description
credentialId	string	Yes	ID of the stored Asana API credential (Personal Access Token or OAuth) used to authenticate requests.
taskId	string	Yes	The GID of the Asana task to update. Supports template expressions (e.g. {{input.taskId}}) to resolve at runtime.
name	string	No	New name for the task. Leave blank to leave the field unchanged.
notes	string	No	Updated plain-text description / notes body for the task.
assigneeId	string	No	GID of the Asana user to assign the task to. Use 'me' to assign to the token owner.
dueOn	string	No	Due date in ISO 8601 date format (YYYY-MM-DD). Clears the due date when set to an empty string.
completed	boolean	No	When true, marks the task as complete. When false, marks it as incomplete.
customFields	object	No	Key/value map of custom field GIDs to their new values (e.g. {"12345": "High"}).

Inputs

Port	Type	Description
input	object	Trigger signal and optional payload. Any field can be referenced in config via template expressions (e.g. {{input.taskId}}).

Outputs

Port	Type	Description
output	object	Emitted on success. Contains the full updated task object returned by the Asana API (task GID, name, status, assignee, etc.).
error	object	Emitted when the API call fails (e.g. invalid task GID, auth error, rate limit). Contains message and HTTP status code.
