Privileges:

  • To import users (inbound action): Ensure the account used for authorization has permission to read all user accounts.
  • To perform any action or query in Asana (outbound action): Ensure the account used for authorization has permission to perform the desired action.
Note: ADManager Plus comes with preconfigured set of APIs that helps perform basic actions with the integration. If the action you require is not available, please gather the necessary API details from Asana API documentation to configure under inbound/outbound webhooks to perform the required actions.

  • In the left pane, under Configuration, click Application Integrations.
  • Under Enterprise Applications, click Asana.
  • Toggle the Enable Asana Integration button on.
  • In the Asana Configuration page, click Authorization.
  • Perform steps to generate client_id and client_secret from Asana, and paste them in the respective value fields.
  • Click Configure.

Inbound webhook configuration

Inbound webhook enables you to fetch user data from Asana to ADManager Plus and perform desired action available in Automation feature on them. The attribute mapping configured in this section can be selected as the data source during automation configuration to perform the desired action on the list of users received from the API response.
