What is Asana?
Asana is a web and mobile work management platform designed to help teams organize, track, and manage their work. You can organize your tasks onto a board, list, or timeline view to stay on top of your project priorities.
Connecting to Asana
The Asana connector of Kissflow Integration enables you to connect and synchronize your Asana projects and tasks with popular third-party apps and Kissflow apps. You must have a valid Asana account and be a paid Kissflow customer in order to integrate with Asana.
Assume you run an email marketing campaign through MailChimp and you want to perform certain actions on your new email subscribers.By connecting Asana and MailChimp you can easily create new tasks for your new email subscribers.
To perform specific actions, use the Asana connector to receive data from other flows or apps. For now, the connector for Asana does not support any trigger events.
