I have a ‘task’ table in airtable and each task is assigned an owner. I set up a zap to basically duplicate these tasks to asana. The assignee field shows the proper owner email as pulled from airtable, but only I am actually seeing new tasks pop up in asana as created by the zap. Is it because my asana account is attached to the zap? Bu then how would I add all my co-workers accounts to the zap? Thanks!

Add this Zap action: Asana - Find User
Search by Email Address..
That will return the Asana User ID.
Map that Asana User ID to the Assignee field in the Asana action.

Good question.

Ah, but now I have to switch to a paid version to have a multi-step Zap. I knew this was too good to be true! I assume there is no one-step workaround?

Hi there
That’s great news! I’m glad Troy was able to help you out!
Regarding your question about a one-step workaround, unfortunately, there is no one-step workaround for this one. Since the “Assignee” field looks for the Assignee ID, we will need to add a “Find User” step, as Troy suggested.
I appreciate your understanding.
