How to connect Asana and Grist
Create a New Scenario to Connect Asana and Grist
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.
Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Asana, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Asana or Grist will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Asana or Grist, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.
Add the Asana Node
Select the Asana node from the app selection panel on the right.

Authenticate Grist
Now, click the Grist node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your Grist settings. Authentication allows you to use Grist through Latenode.
Configure the Asana and Grist Nodes
Next, configure the nodes by filling in the required parameters according to your logic. Fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are mandatory.
Set Up the Asana and Grist Integration
Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Asana, Grist, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Asana and Grist integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Asana and Grist (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Asana and Grist
Asana + Grist + Slack: When an Asana task is completed (using a new story trigger), update the corresponding row in Grist to reflect the completed status. Then, send a notification to a Slack channel informing the team of the task completion.
Grist + Asana + Google Sheets: When a new record is created or updated in Grist, a corresponding task is created in Asana. The details of the Grist record are then logged as a new row in a Google Sheet for reporting purposes.
