Asana - Add Comment

↩ Part of the Asana integration.

Description

Posts a comment on a task (POST /tasks/{gid}/stories). In Asana, comments and activity entries are both stories; this node creates a story of type comment.

Use it to leave an audit trail on the task: the outcome of a check, a link to a generated document, the number of records processed.

Configuration

Field	Type	Required	Description
`credentials_id`	credentials	Yes	Asana credential
`task_gid`	text	Yes	Task `gid`
`text`	textarea	Yes	Comment text

Both task_gid and text accept dynamic variables.

Credentials

This module requires an Asana credential:

Field	Description
`access_token`	Personal Access Token from app.asana.com
`default_workspace_gid`	Optional fallback workspace

Output

data is the story object returned by Asana:

{
  "gid": "1209999999999999",
  "resource_type": "story",
  "resource_subtype": "comment_added",
  "type": "comment",
  "text": "Quote sent. Total: 4820 EUR.",
  "created_at": "2026-08-28T11:22:07.000Z",
  "created_by": { "gid": "1201111111111111", "resource_type": "user", "name": "Automation Bot" }
}

Along with it, _meta:

{ "moduleVersion": "1.0.0", "success": true, "gid": "1209876543210987", "storyGid": "1209999999999999", "totalMs": 254 }

Usage Example

Fixed message

{
  "credentials_id": "asana_ops",
  "task_gid": "1209876543210987",
  "text": "Automatically verified: the invoice was issued."
}

Multi-line result

{
  "credentials_id": "asana_ops",
  "task_gid": "{{data.gid}}",
  "text": "Process finished.\nRecords: {{data.total}}\nErrors: {{data.errors}}"
}

Notes

The comment is posted by the account that owns the Personal Access Token, so it appears under that user’s name. Use a dedicated bot account if you want automated comments to stand out.
The text is plain: rich formatting and @ mentions are not supported by this node. For an HTML body (html_text) use the HTTP node.
Comments cannot be edited or deleted from these nodes — a comment is permanent activity on the task.
A 404 means the task does not exist or the account cannot see it; a 403 means it cannot comment on it. Neither is retried.

Asana: Create task — create the task you are commenting on.
Asana: Update task — comment and then close the task.
Asana: Get task — read the task before commenting.
