Hi! I am trying to set up a Zap to do the following: when a new task is created in a specific project in Asana, a new task is created in a specific project in Toggl.
I don’t want to use a native integration, because I want this to be happening on one project only.
The zap runs and creates a task successfully once, and then is stops. Retried this several times, same result.
The error I get:
While requesting "dev_method" from Asana we ran into an error: The app returned `{"message":"task: Not a recognized ID: "}
Can anyone please help?

Hi @baikateryna ,
Does adding a delay action helps? Just below trigger event you can add a delay and than add an action to get Asana Task by using ID from Trigger
Thank you! I have considered this option and tested it, and it does work. So, thank you.
I was looking for option that would work without Pro subscription, so I tested further and for now the most reliable option is using “when an Asana task is updated” + “search for a Toggl task and if not found create one”. Because basically, when a task is added, any action like assigning a person to it or adding a due date or a comment would trigger the update.
asana task - create a row on google sheets with the task name - create a toggle task with a new row
I have noticed that asana created a new task with a new ud the moment the + button is hit, and before the user enters the task name, hence the empty filed.
Does anyone have ideas how to make this automation not very Instant? :) So that the user has the time to enter the task name.
