# Asana

**Authentication:** OAuth 2.0
**Categories:** Project Management
## Authentication

This connector uses **OAuth 2.0**. Scalekit acts as the OAuth client: it redirects your user to Asana, obtains an access token, and automatically refreshes it before it expires. Your agent code never handles tokens directly — you only pass a `connectionName` and a user `identifier`.

You supply your Asana **Connected App** credentials (Client ID + Secret) once per environment in the Scalekit dashboard.

Before calling this connector from your code, create the Asana connection in **AgentKit** > **Connections** and copy the exact **Connection name** from that connection into your code. The value in code must match the dashboard exactly.

## Set up the connector

Register your Scalekit environment with the Asana connector so Scalekit handles the authentication flow and token lifecycle for you. The connection name you create will be used to identify and invoke the connection programmatically. Then complete the configuration in your application as follows:

1. ### Set up auth redirects

    - In [Scalekit dashboard](https://app.scalekit.com), go to **AgentKit** > **Connections** > **Create Connection**. Find **Asana** and click **Create**. Copy the redirect URI. It looks like `https:///sso/v1/oauth//callback`.

      > Image: Copy redirect URI from Scalekit dashboard

    - Go to [Asana Developer Console](https://app.asana.com/-/developer_console) and click **Create new app**. Enter an app name.

    - In the left menu, go to **OAuth**. Under **Redirect URLs**, click **Add redirect URL**, paste the redirect URI from Scalekit, and click **Add**.

2. ### Enable multi-workspace install 

    Enable this if you want users outside your Asana workspace to install the app.

    - In your app settings, go to **OAuth** → **App permissions**.
    - Under **App install permissions**, enable **Allow users outside your workspace to install this app**.

3. ### Get client credentials

    - In [Asana Developer Console](https://app.asana.com/-/developer_console), select your app.
    - Under **OAuth**, copy your **Client ID** and **Client Secret**.

4. ### Add credentials in Scalekit

    - In [Scalekit dashboard](https://app.scalekit.com), go to **AgentKit** > **Connections** and open the connection you created.
    - Enter your credentials:
      - Client ID (from above)
      - Client Secret (from above)
      - Permissions (scopes — see [Asana OAuth scopes reference](https://developers.asana.com/docs/oauth#scopes))

    - Click **Save**.

## Code examples

Connect a user's Asana account and make API calls on their behalf — Scalekit handles OAuth and token management automatically.

## Proxy API Calls

  ### Node.js

```typescript

const connectionName = 'asana'; // get your connection name from connection configurations
const identifier = 'user_123'; // your unique user identifier

// Get your credentials from app.scalekit.com → Developers → Settings → API Credentials
const scalekit = new ScalekitClient(
  process.env.SCALEKIT_ENV_URL,
  process.env.SCALEKIT_CLIENT_ID,
  process.env.SCALEKIT_CLIENT_SECRET
);
const actions = scalekit.actions;

// Authenticate the user
const { link } = await actions.getAuthorizationLink({
  connectionName,
  identifier,
});
console.log('🔗 Authorize Asana:', link);
process.stdout.write('Press Enter after authorizing...');
await new Promise(r => process.stdin.once('data', r));

// Make a request via Scalekit proxy
const result = await actions.request({
  connectionName,
  identifier,
  path: '/api/1.0/users/me',
  method: 'GET',
});
console.log(result);
```

  ### Python

```python

from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()

connection_name = "asana"    # get your connection name from connection configurations
identifier = "user_123"      # your unique user identifier

# Get your credentials from app.scalekit.com → Developers → Settings → API Credentials
scalekit_client = scalekit.client.ScalekitClient(
    client_id=os.getenv("SCALEKIT_CLIENT_ID"),
    client_secret=os.getenv("SCALEKIT_CLIENT_SECRET"),
    env_url=os.getenv("SCALEKIT_ENV_URL"),
)
actions = scalekit_client.actions

# Authenticate the user
link_response = actions.get_authorization_link(
    connection_name=connection_name,
    identifier=identifier
)
# present this link to your user for authorization, or click it yourself for testing
print("🔗 Authorize Asana:", link_response.link)
input("Press Enter after authorizing...")

# Make a request via Scalekit proxy
result = actions.request(
    connection_name=connection_name,
    identifier=identifier,
    path="/api/1.0/users/me",
    method="GET"
)
print(result)
```
