Google Sheets

Add a row in Google Sheets when a task is added to a project in Asana

When a task is added to a project in Asana, add a row in Google Sheets.

Start the 14-day trial, then find it under Templates → Library. It installs into the client you choose, switched off, with its checklist.

Steps

Every step, in order

When it happens in the first app, the step runs in the second, with the client’s own account.

A new task in a project, checked every 5 minutes.

  2. App stepAdd a row

What each client fills in

Google Sheets: Spreadsheet ID
For example from the URL: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/<this>/edit
Google Sheets: Sheet (tab)
For example Sheet1
Asana: Project ID
For example the number after /project/ in the link

The accounts it needs

Each is the client’s own, stored encrypted and never copied between clients. Until one is added the client’s checklist shows it, and nothing runs.

  • app.asana.com/0/my-apps → Create new token (signed in to the client’s Asana).

  • Google Sheets

    In your own Google Cloud project: enable the Google Sheets API, then IAM & Admin → Service accounts → Create → Keys → Add key → JSON, and paste the file here. Then share each client sheet with the service account’s email (…@….iam.gserviceaccount.com) as an Editor. The account is yours; no Google review is needed.

After you install it

It lands switched off. The client’s checklist holds exactly this:

  1. Connect the client’s Asana, for “A task is added to a project”
  2. Connect the client’s Google Sheets, for “Add a row”
  3. Fill in Asana: Project ID (For example the number after /project/ in the link)
  4. Fill in Google Sheets: Spreadsheet ID (For example from the URL: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/<this>/edit)
  5. Fill in Google Sheets: Sheet (tab) (For example Sheet1)
  6. Check the order of Google Sheets’s values, column by column against the client’s columns

Thrum is cooking.
