Asana

1. Sign in at app.asana.com.
2. Open My Apps (or your profile picture → Settings → Apps tab → Manage Developer Apps).
3. Click Create new token.
4. Name it ingest (or similar) and copy the value immediately. Asana only shows the token once.

In the Ingest UI under Connectors → Asana, paste the token. Ingest stores it in AWS Secrets Manager under the key token.

The Ingest runtime dispatches Asana requests at 1.25 req/sec by default — comfortably under the 2.5 req/sec free-plan ceiling — and uses AIMD backoff on 429s. Errors with status 400, 401, 402 (paid feature on a free workspace), 403, or 404 are treated as fatal — the request stops without retry. 429 and 500 retry with exponential backoff.

Start with workspaces, users, projects, and tasks — they cover the bulk of what most Asana customers need. The full cascade is:

• workspaces — root container; every other resource resolves through it
• users, teams, team_memberships, workspace_memberships — people and group structure
• projects, sections, tasks, subtasks — the work hierarchy
• tags, stories, attachments — task metadata and activity
• custom_fields, custom_field_settings — user-defined columns and per-project defaults
• webhooks — change-event subscriptions
• project_templates, task_templates, status_updates — Starter+ paid features
• portfolios, portfolio_items, goals, goal_relationships, time_periods — Advanced+ reporting
• audit_log_events — Enterprise compliance log
