Automate Asana

Turn the repetitive Asana work you do by hand (open a project, read tasks by filter) into a workflow Writ runs for you, on your own account, on a schedule or on demand.

Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.

why

Stop doing Asana by hand

The Asana tasks you repeat (open a project, read tasks by filter, update a field) are exactly the kind of work a computer should do. But Asana only exposes part of it through an API, and the flow runs behind a login and dynamic pages. Asana has an API, but some portfolio, dashboard, and admin views are only reachable through the browser UI.

Writ closes that gap. Record the Asana task once (or describe it to an AI session) and Writ runs it for you in a real browser, on your own account. Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.

Asana tasks Writ can run for you

Each of these is a real Asana action, captured into a workflow and run on your own account.

{ }open a project
{ }read tasks by filter
{ }update a field
{ }export a report

Workflows extract structured fields such as task, project status, assignee, due date along the way: typed data you can route anywhere.

Three ways to build your Asana automation

Pick whichever fits the task. All three produce the same workflow Writ can run for you.

Record itDo the Asana task once in a real browser (open a project, then read tasks by filter) and the recorder captures every step into a reusable workflow.
Describe it to AITell an AI session your goal on Asana in plain language; it drives the live page and builds the workflow for you, no recording needed.
Discover itLet API discovery watch Asana's own network calls as you browse, then turn the underlying requests into a fast, headless workflow.

Built on the same engine as the recorder and workflows, with 30+ step types.

Login, 2FA, and dynamic pages on Asana

The reason Asana is tedious to automate is the same reason most tools can't. Writ handles it.

Writ signs into your own Asana workspace through a Persona, including SSO, and runs inside that authenticated session.

Run the Asana automation on your terms

On a schedule, on demand, or the instant something changes. You choose the trigger.

On a scheduleRun the Asana task every hour, every morning, or any cadence. No one has to remember to do it.
On demandTrigger a single run from the dashboard, a webhook, your code, or an AI agent, whenever you need it.
On a changeWatch Asana for task status change or new task in a project and fire the automation the instant it happens.
  1. 1
    Build the Asana workflow once

    Record the task, describe it to AI, or discover it from the network. Writ captures each step, including login and 2FA, into a workflow you can edit.

  2. 2
    Run it on your terms

    Run it on demand, on a schedule, or fire it from a Monitor when Asana changes. It runs on your own Asana account, in a real browser.

  3. 3
    Call it from anything

    The same workflow is a REST endpoint at /v1/asana/run and an MCP tool, so your code, a no-code tool, or an AI agent can trigger the Asana automation too.

Trigger the Asana automation on a change

Monitor Asana for task status change, new task in a project, portfolio value change and run your workflow the moment it happens.

Monitors check as fast as every 10s (10s on Enterprise). A detected change becomes a trigger that runs your Asana automation in seconds. Monitor Asana ▸

Local / BYO agent

No compute charge. The agent runs on your hardware, so it can reach Asana even from an intranet or VPN-only network, and your AI keys never leave your machine.

The same Asana automation is an API and an MCP tool

Automating Asana for yourself and calling it from software are the same workflow. Once you have it, publish it as a REST endpoint at/v1/asana/run and a matching MCP tool, so your code or an AI agent can trigger the Asana task too.

Automating Asana: questions

How do I automate Asana?
Record the Asana task once in the recorder (open a project, read tasks by filter, update a field) or describe your goal to an AI session. Writ turns it into a workflow it can run for you on a schedule or on demand, on your own Asana account. It usually takes minutes, not a backend project.
Is it allowed to automate Asana this way?
Use Writ on your own Asana workspace. Authorized automation of your own account. Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.
Does Asana automation work behind login and 2FA?
Writ signs into your own Asana workspace through a Persona, including SSO, and runs inside that authenticated session. Writ handles TOTP and mailbox-OTP two-factor through Personas, so the automation runs inside your own authenticated Asana session.
Can I run the Asana automation without writing code?
Yes. Recording and AI sessions need no code at all. If you do want to trigger it from software, the same workflow is a REST endpoint and an MCP tool, but that is optional.
Where does it run, and what does it cost?
Run it on your own machine with a local or BYO agent for no compute charge, useful when Asana is only reachable from your network or VPN. Or run it on metered cloud at $0.12 per browser-hour, drawn from your plan’s included usage. Start free.
