Add Task to Section

Adds an existing Asana task to a specific section within a project. Use it to organize a task into the right column or grouping after it already exists.

What It Does

Places a task into the section you specify, identified by its GID. The task keeps its other project memberships and details; this only adds it to the section.

When To Use It

Use this when a workflow needs to sort a task into a particular section, such as moving newly created tasks into a "Needs Review" section, or filing a task into the correct stage of a project's board. If you are creating the task for the first time, you can create it and then add it to a section in the same workflow.

Configuration

Configure the node with these settings:

Field	What it controls
Section ID	The GID of the section to add the task to. Required.
Task ID	The GID of the task to add to the section. Required.

Outputs

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

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

Example Workflow

A workflow creates a task from a customer request, then uses Add Task to Section to drop it into the "Triage" section of the support project so the team sees it in the right place.
