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

Hi @MratioT!

I wish I could tell you that I have updates to report, but I’m afraid I don’t :( It’s still an existing feature request that we’re adding votes for (I added yours, by the way). As a workaround, you could look into using the Asana API to duplicate an existing project: https://developers.asana.com/docs/duplicate-a-project.

We have a couple of Community articles that touch upon using the Asana API:

Hope that helps!

Hi @Bobbop and @Bobby-MASON 

 

I've added your email address as another vote for this addition. I don't have an ETA of when or if this will happen, but we will definitely email you if it does become a reality!

A

Yes add me too.  This makes so much sense.  Create new project in Asana with a keyword to correlate to which template to use.  Keep us Posted.

Hi there, please add me to this feature request too. This one would be huge. our own product is integrated with Zapier and having a project created from a template action would unlock thousands of our customers’ workflows. Our app (Practice Ignition) is a proposal tool, amongst other things. We have native integrations with other workflow solutions that deploy whole jobs and tasks, but Asana is well used within our niche, so this would be huge. Not only that, we’d use this action internally to run our own projects.
