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.

  1. Go to build.chipp.ai and open your app
  2. Click Brain in the sidebar
  3. Click the Connect tab
  4. Find Asana in the integrations list
  5. Click Connect and sign into your Asana account
  6. Grant permission for Chipp to access your Asana data
  7. Select which tools to enable
  8. Click Save

Once connected, all users of your app can immediately use Asana tools without any additional setup.

ℹ️

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.

Example Workflows

Task Management Assistant

System prompt:

plaintext
You help users manage Asana tasks. When they ask about tasks,
search Asana. Help them create new tasks, update existing ones,
and track project progress.

User interaction:

plaintext
User: "What tasks are due this week?"

AI: Let me check Asana...

[Calls: Search tasks with due date filter]

You have 5 tasks due this week:

1. **Review Q4 budget** - Due Tuesday
   Project: Finance Planning

2. **Update website copy** - Due Wednesday
   Project: Marketing Campaign

3. **Team sync prep** - Due Thursday
   Project: Weekly Operations

Would you like me to update any of these or create new tasks?

Project Status Reporter

System prompt:

You provide project status updates from Asana. When asked about
a project, retrieve its details, task completion rate, and
any overdue items.

User interaction:

plaintext
User: "How's the product launch project going?"

AI: [Calls: Get project details]
[Calls: Search tasks in project]

**Product Launch Project Status:**

- **Overall Progress:** 68% complete (17/25 tasks done)
- **On Track:** Yes
- **Due Date:** December 20, 2025

Would you like me to send a reminder or update any tasks?

Best Practices

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.

Troubleshooting

”Asana not connected” error

This means the app owner hasn’t connected their Asana account yet:

  1. Go to your app’s Brain settings
  2. Click the Connect tab
  3. Find Asana and click Connect

Can’t see certain projects or tasks

  • The connected Asana account may not have access to those projects
  • Check the account’s permissions in Asana directly
  • Consider connecting a different Asana account with broader access

OAuth authorization fails

  • Ensure pop-ups aren’t blocked in the browser
  • Try in an incognito window
  • Clear browser cookies and try again
  • Check if Asana is experiencing any outages

Tools not appearing after connecting

  • Try disconnecting and reconnecting the integration
  • Check that your Asana account has the necessary permissions
