# Asana

## Create a Task in Asana via Webhook Template

Follow the below steps to configure the “Asana - Create Task” action via webhooks.

We will be utilizing Asana's Rest APIs to Create Task

## Create a Key to authenticate Asana Rest API

Asana's APIs can be authenticated in different ways, check them out [here](https://developers.asana.com/docs/authentication). We will be using Personal Access Token (PAT) to authenticate their API

1. Login to <https://app.asana.com/0/my-apps> -> Under **Personal Access Token** -> **Create new token** -> Enter the details and **Create Token**
2. Copy the **Token** to Create Cards

Click **Next: Choose Webhook Type**, and navigate to the next step.

4. **Choose Webhook Type**: Choose Webhook type (Manual or Automatic) and add configurations.
   1. **Manual Webhook**: Manually trigger Webhooks under incidents, on demand. Under Manual Webhook, select the teams that are authorized to access the Webhook. You can select All Teams or enter specific Teams, from the drop-down.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:**

Select this option only if you want to create Asana tasks manually on-demand. If you want a ticket, created automatically when certain conditions are met, please choose Automatic webhooks.
{% endhint %}

2. **Automatic Webhook**: Automatically trigger Webhooks when the configured conditions match. To set up Automatic Webhook Configurations:
   1. **Versions**: Select **v2**
   2. **Triggers**: Select the following Trigger events (conditions) for which the Webhook will be triggered:
      1. Incident Triggered (This will create an Asana task whenever a new incident gets triggered in Squadcast)
   3. **Filters**: You can apply filters on top of events, based on Teams, Services, Alert Sources, and Tags, by having an individual expression or a combination of expressions/expression groups.

Applying filters will trigger the webhook and create Asana tasks only for events that match the filter.
