Latenode

Automatically create Dropbox folders for new Asana projects

This template lists your Asana projects on a schedule, compares those names to folders already in Dropbox, and creates a Dropbox folder for each project that does not have one yet. Connect Asana and Dropbox, pick the parent Dropbox folder, and set how often the scenario should check. Keep Asana and Dropbox credentials on those connections.

How Latenode estimates time and cost

Latenode bills workflow runtime in CPU seconds. The first 10,000 CPU seconds are free each month, then usage follows pay-as-you-go CPU-second pricing. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.

What this template does

  • Creates a Dropbox folder for each new Asana project
  • Lists Asana projects on a schedule
  • Skips names that already have a Dropbox folder
  • Keeps Asana and Dropbox credentials on those connections

How it works

1
Trigger

Run on a schedule

A schedule starts the scenario, for example every 15 minutes.

2
Action

List Asana projects

Asana returns the projects for the user you connect.

3
Logic

Find projects that need a folder

Dropbox lists folders in the parent you pick. JavaScript keeps Asana project names that do not already have a matching folder.

4
Action

Create the Dropbox folder

Dropbox creates a folder named after the Asana project in the parent you chose.

Setup guide

1

Connect Asana

Add an Asana connection with access to the projects you want folders for.

2

Connect Dropbox

Add a Dropbox connection. Choose the parent folder where project folders should appear.

3

Match names and create folders

List Asana projects, search that Dropbox parent for existing folders, and in JavaScript keep project names that still need a folder. Create each missing Dropbox folder from the project name.

4

Set the schedule

Run on a schedule. Create a test Asana project and confirm the Dropbox folder appears before you shorten the interval.

Requirements

An Asana account Latenode can list projects from
A Dropbox parent folder Latenode can create folders in
A schedule for how often to check for new projects
