Add Task to Project

Adds an existing Asana task to a project. Use it to file a task into an additional project or move it into a different one without recreating it.

What It Does

Takes a task and a project, both identified by their Asana GIDs, and adds the task to that project. The task keeps any other projects, sections, and details it already has. This only adds the association; it does not remove the task from anywhere else.

When To Use It

Use this when a workflow needs to make sure a task shows up in a second project, such as filing an engineering task into a shared "Q3 Roadmap" project after it is created in a team-specific project. If you are creating a brand new task and already know which project it belongs to, use Create Task and set the projects field there instead.

Configuration

Configure the node with these settings:

Field	What it controls
Task ID	The GID of the existing task to add to the project. Required.
Project ID	The GID of the project to add the task to. Required.

Outputs

The node passes these values downstream. Check the Outputs tab on the configured node to confirm exact paths.

Variable	Type	Example
`taskId`	`string`	`{{nodeId.taskId}}`
`projectId`	`string`	`{{nodeId.projectId}}`
`success`	`boolean`	`{{nodeId.success}}`

Example Workflow

A workflow creates a task from a meeting action item, then uses Find Project to locate the team's shared tracking project, then uses Add Task to Project to file the new task into that project as well.
