Use Asana with MonstarX
In shortConnect Asana in Backend → Cloud by signing in to Asana. MonstarX's builder can then read your workspaces, projects and tasks in any mode, and create a task or update one when you ask in Build mode. Your app never gets your Asana account.
Read projects and tasks, and create or update a task when you ask.

Asana is a tool for planning work as projects and tasks. Connect it to a project and MonstarX’s builder — the AI you chat with — can read your plans while it works: build the features in your “App launch” project, check what a task asks for, or add a task or tick one off when you ask.
This is a business tool: MonstarX uses your Asana for you. The app you build never gets your Asana account.
What can MonstarX do with it?
Section titled “What can MonstarX do with it?”| What MonstarX can do | When |
|---|---|
| List workspaces you belong to | Any mode |
| List projects in a workspace, 50 at a time | Any mode |
| List tasks in a project, 50 at a time | Any mode |
| Read one task — its name, notes, whether it is done, due date, assignee and projects | Any mode |
| Create a task in a project, with a name and notes | Only in Build mode, when you asked |
| Update a task — rename it, change its notes, or mark it done or not done | Only in Build mode, when you asked |
What it never does: delete tasks, assign them, change due dates, add comments or attachments, or create and change projects.
Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”- An Asana account (any plan).
- You can see the projects, and add or edit tasks in them.
- You own the MonstarX project. Only the owner can connect or disconnect a tool.
Connect your account
Section titled “Connect your account”There are no keys to copy. You sign in to Asana, and Asana asks you to allow MonstarX to:
- Read your workspaces and projects.
- Read tasks — to list and read them.
- Create and edit tasks — used only for the task you asked it to create or change.
Connect it in MonstarX
Section titled “Connect it in MonstarX”-
Open your project and click Backend in the top bar, then Cloud.
-
Scroll to Connectors and find Asana.
-
Click Connect. Asana opens. Sign in, check what MonstarX asks for, and click Allow.
-
You come back to your project. The row now says Connected as and your Asana name.
Ask MonstarX to use it
Section titled “Ask MonstarX to use it”| You type | What happens |
|---|---|
| “Build the open tasks in my Asana project ‘Booking app v1’.” | MonstarX lists the project’s tasks, reads them and builds the features. |
| “What does the Asana task ‘Waitlist’ say we need?” | It reads the task and answers. Nothing changes. |
| “Add an Asana task ‘Test the checkout on a phone’ to ‘Booking app v1’.” | In Build mode, it creates that task. |
| “Mark the ‘Waitlist’ task done in Asana.” | In Build mode, it marks the task complete. |
Security and privacy
Section titled “Security and privacy”- Stays with MonstarX. Your Asana sign-in is stored encrypted on MonstarX’s servers. It is never written into your app’s code or given to your app.
- One project. The connection works only in the project where you made it.
- Read as information. MonstarX treats task text as information, never as instructions.
- Disconnect any time. Click Disconnect beside Asana in BackendCloud and confirm. MonstarX forgets the sign-in and tells Asana to cancel its access.
Frequently asked questions
Section titled “Frequently asked questions”Can MonstarX delete my tasks?
No. It can create tasks and update their name, notes and completion when you ask, in Build mode.
Can it assign tasks to my team?
No. It cannot change assignees or due dates.
Can my app show my Asana tasks?
Not through this connection — it is for MonstarX's builder only. Ask MonstarX to build that feature and it asks you for the app's own access.
