Create an Asana project zap for a specific template


Userlevel 2

Hi!

I use many Asana zap but i would like to be able to choose a specific template from my Asana account. For example: A project is created in Asana - team Client when a proposal is won in Proposify. I want that project to be create form my client project template.

 

Any solution?

 

Thanks ;)

Hi, all!

Thank you all for letting us know you were looking for a way to duplicate or copy a project with the Asana integration. I'm happy to let you know that a new Create Project From Template action is now available.

Can you give that a try and see if that works for your needs?

If you run into any problems or have any questions, please don't hesitate to let us know. We are here to help!

We would like to be added to this feature request list as well, thank you! I’m sure the benefits of duplicating Asana projects/templates have been better described by others in the past and are generally self-evident, but this is a fundamental and much needed feature from a PM automation perspective that would greatly streamline our workflow and add a great deal of value for us. The need for native support for even a limited project duplication Zap event can’t be overstated.

Hi everyone,

 

While it isn't part of the native Zapier integration, we have set up a number of zaps for clients which look at duplicating an Asana Project utilising the Webhook by Zapier app to make a POST request to Asana for duplicating.

 

We have had clients first create a base project design that they would like duplicated, then use the native Zapier Asana action of 'Find Project' to bring back the project ID

 

Using the webhook by zapier step, you can then send a POST request to duplicate the project and assign it to an Asana team.

The post URL would have the following form:

https://app.asana.com/api/1.0/projects/[project ID]/duplicate

 

An example body payload would look like below and simply needs the generated API token as an authorisation header:

 

{ "data": { "include": [ "task_assignee" ], "name": "Test Team Name Project", "team": "1111111111" } }

 

While having this part of the native Zapier interface would be an easier option, using their API as as a current workaround is a workable option.

 

If you need any additional information feel free to reach out any time.

Regards, Michael

@steph.n Any update on this, and can you please add me as watcher on this feature request? Thank you!

everyone wondering how to this, you can use webhooks. custom request, POST method. get your token from asana then pass the data from your webhook to asana project.

We don’t have an ETA on when it will be implemented but we’ll let you know as soon as it is. In the meantime, it may be worth trying out the workaround outlined here:

Hi @nicksimard !

Yes exactly but i already have created some templates so they are in my templates library and i want to use them. Let’s say i make a zap from Proposify, then i want my projet to be created with my existing template named “client” for example. 

 

Thanks!
