Tableau Connector for Asana

Build 24.0.9060

Tasks

To Create, Update, Delete and Query from Tasks table.

Table Specific Information

Select

The connector will use the Asana API to process WHERE clause conditions built with the following column and operator. The rest of the filter is executed client side within the connector.

  • Id supports the '=' comparison.
  • ProjectId supports the '=' comparison.
  • Assignee supports the '=' comparison. Note : Assignee should always be provided with WorkspaceId, either in query or in connection string.
  • TagId supports the '=' comparison.
  • SectionId supports the '=' comparison.
  • UserTaskListId supports the '=' comparison.

For example, the following queries are processed server side: 

SELECT * FROM Tasks WHERE Id = '1127092449876457'

SELECT * FROM Tasks WHERE ProjectId = '1128092964672848'

SELECT * FROM Tasks WHERE Assignee = '1126938691750986' AND WorkspaceId = '1126938837961830'

SELECT * FROM tasks WHERE TagId = '1129517083601713'

SELECT * FROM tasks WHERE SectionId = '1127092449876457'

SELECT * FROM tasks WHERE UserTaskListId = '1126938837961837'

When executing a query without one of the above filters, due to the Asana API design, tasks must be retrieved per project. The connector will first query the workspace to retrieve a list of projects. A separate request will then be made for each project to retrieve all the applicable tasks. In theory, this is similar to executing the following query: 

SELECT * FROM Tasks WHERE ProjectId IN (SELECT Id FROM Projects)
Due to the number of required requests, performance may be impacted. Note, tasks may also be orphaned and not belong to a project. The connector will not be able to retrieve orphaned tasks.

Insert

ProjectId is a mandatory column for inserting into Tasks table. For example: 

INSERT INTO Tasks (Name, Assignee, AssigneeStatus, startOn, DueOn, Completed, ProjectId, Notes, ApprovalStatus, Followers) VALUES ('Task1', '1167715005778471', 'later', '2020-03-25', '2020-04-01', false, 1167713816822364, 'TaskNotes', 'changes_requested', '1167715005778471')

Update

Following is an example of how to update a Tasks table: 

UPDATE Tasks SET Browser = 'ie' WHERE Id = '1167713816822371'

Delete

Following is an example of how to delete from Tasks table: 

DELETE FROM Tasks WHERE Id = '1167713816822371'
