Setup Guide

You can find your Asana app credentials by visiting your Asana Developer App Console.

You'll need the following information to set up your Asana app with Paragon:

• Client ID

• Client Secret

Add the Redirect URL to your Asana app

Paragon provides a redirect URL to send information to your Asana app. To add the redirect URL to your Asana app:

1. Copy the link under "Redirect URL" in your integration settings in Paragon. The Redirect URL is:

https://passport.useparagon.com/oauth

2. Log into your Asana Developer App Console.

3. Select the Asana application you'd like to connect to Paragon.

4. Under Authorization > Redirect URLs, paste the Redirect URL provided in Step 1.

Asana provides you with the Client ID and Client Secret needed for the next steps after adding the redirect URL to your project.

Add your Asana app to Paragon

1. Select Asana from the Integrations Catalog.

2. Under Integrations > Connected Integrations > {YOUR_APP} > Settings, fill out your credentials from the end of Step 1 in their respective sections:

• Client ID: Found at the end of Step 1.

• Client Secret: Found at the end of Step 1.

Press the blue "Connect" button to save your credentials.

Connecting to Asana

Once your users have connected their Asana account, you can use the Paragon SDK to access the Asana API on behalf of connected users.

await paragon.request("asana", "tasks", { 
  method: "POST",
  body: {
    "name": "Water the plants",
    "due_on": "2019-09-15"
  }
});
