Project Created

Starts a workflow whenever a new project is created in Asana. Use it to kick off setup work, like adding standard sections or custom fields, as soon as a project exists.

Project Created node in the workflow builder

What It Does

Fires when a new project is created in your connected Asana workspace, and passes along the project's details as the workflow's starting context.

When It Fires

Use this to automate project setup, such as creating a standard set of sections or adding a client-tracking custom field the moment a new project appears. Narrow it with the filters below if you only want to react to projects that match certain criteria, such as a specific team.

Configuration

Configure the node with these settings:
