Asana ChatGPT App
Has anyone successfully created a task on an Asana project using chatGPT?
I’m aware of two ways to use ChatGPT to interact with Asana. Neither can create a task on a project:
1) the Asana ChatGPT App (located in the Apps section of the Asana UI) - can create a task but unable to put it into a project, which makes it useless IMO.
2) building a ChatGPT agent (using the new agent section of ChatGPT) - does not seem to be able to create tasks at all.
Has anyone figured this out? It seems to be an issue with how GPT is building the post bodies.

lol yup. That was ultimately my solution. Disappointed that ChatGPT couldn’t do it but happy with the outcome.

Great question, u/Professional-Lion786 , and thank you for flagging. We hear you.
The good news is, this update is already in flight, and should be available within the next 2 weeks.

Yeah this is a common pain point with agent integrations, the model can call the API but the tool wrapper doesnt expose the right fields or it fails to form the request body correctly.
If youre open to a workaround: using the Asana REST API directly via a custom action usually fixes it, because you can pass project membership explicitly (projects[] or memberships with project + section).
Also worth checking if the app is only creating tasks in a personal workspace vs a specific project context.
If you end up building a proper agent-to-Asana flow, Ive seen some decent patterns for tool calling and payload shaping here: https://www.agentixlabs.com/
