Steps to set up your Personal Access Token (PAT)

  1. In Smaply, Open the Asana configuration page. From your Account settings (a) > Integrations (b) > Asana Setup (c)

  2. Now, make sure you're logged into your Asana account at app.asana.com

  3. To find your workspace ID open link app.asana.com/api/1.0/workspaces and copy the workspace gid from the result. Paste it into the Workspace ID field.

  4. Generate a Personal access token

    1. Open app.asana.com/0/my-apps and under Personal access tokens select "Create new token"

    2. In the "Create new token" dialog, give it a clear name, we suggest 'smaply-connector' and click "Create token"

    3. Copy the generated token into the configuration screen in Smaply

  5. Save the configuration and the connection success message should be shown
