Asana
Connect Asana to manage tasks, projects, and team workflows
Connect your Asana account to give your AI assistant access to tasks, projects, workspaces, and team collaboration features.
Overview
The Asana integration lets your AI:
- Manage Tasks - Create, update, and search tasks across projects
- Track Projects - View project status, timelines, and progress
- Access Workspaces - Navigate teams and workspace structures
- Collaborate - Add comments, assign tasks, and update due dates
Prerequisites
- An Asana account
- Builder plan or higher on Chipp
Connecting Asana to Chipp
Asana uses OAuth authentication. You connect your Asana account once, and all users of your app can access Asana tools — no individual user authentication required.
- Go to build.chipp.ai and open your app
- Click Brain in the sidebar
- Click the Connect tab
- Find Asana in the integrations list
- Click Connect and sign into your Asana account
- Grant permission for Chipp to access your Asana data
- Select which tools to enable
- Click Save
Once connected, all users of your app can immediately use Asana tools without any additional setup.
The Asana account you connect determines which workspaces and projects are accessible. All app users will have access to the same Asana data based on your account’s permissions.

Connect the right account: The Asana account you connect determines what data is available. Use an account with access to the workspaces and projects your app needs.
Be specific about projects: When creating or searching tasks, ask users which project to use if it’s not clear from context.
Handle multiple workspaces: If your Asana account has access to multiple workspaces, configure your system prompt to clarify which one to use.
Consider permissions: All app users will have access to the same Asana data. Make sure you’re comfortable sharing that access with your app’s users.
