Asana Connector
Intro
Asana is a cloud-based project management platform that helps users track projects, tasks, stories and other project-related workflows. Use the Domo Asana connector to compile reports about projects, tasks, users, and so on. To learn more about the Asana API, visit their page (https://asana.com/developers/documen...arted/overview).
You connect to your Asana account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Asana connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.
Prerequisites
To connect to your Asana account and create a DataSet, you must have the email address you use to log into Asana, as well as your Asana password. Alternatively, you can use Google credentials to connect.
Connecting to Your Asana Account
This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the Asana Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.
Credentials Pane
The Domo Asana connector uses OAuth to connect, so there is no need to enter credentials within Domo. Click Connect (or select Add Account if you have existing Asana accounts in Domo) to open the Asana OAuth screen where you can enter your Asana or Google credentials. Once you have entered valid credentials, you can use the same account any time you go to create a new Asana DataSet. You can manage connector accounts in the Accounts tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see Managing User Accounts for Connectors.
You will also need an API Key for your Asana account. Any user can get their own API key by visiting the Account Settings dialog and clicking on the Apps tab. The API key is located at the bottom of this dialog box.
Details Pane
This pane contains a primary Reports menu, along with various other menus which may or may not appear depending on the report type you select. If you select the "Tasks" report, a "Subreport" menu appears from which you may select a secondary report.
