Asana Native Integration is a service designed to transfer assets and their associated metadata from Asana tasks directly into Acquia DAM. It eliminates the need to manually download and upload content. This feature is available as a managed integration.

Benefits¶

Asana Native Integration provides the following benefits to your team:

• Time saving: No need to move from Asana while uploading new content to Acquia DAM.
• Automatic tagging: Metadata maps from Asana metadata.
• Central source of truth: Finalized assets have a central source of truth.

How the integration works¶

This integration uses a simple "trigger-and-action" workflow.

• Trigger: A new or updated task in Asana. For example, a task marked complete with an attachment.
• Action: A new asset is created in Acquia DAM from the attachment in the Asana task.

Optional actions¶

Asset metadata can be updated, and asset group, asset category, and metadata type can be assigned. 

Optional updates¶

Task fields in Asana can be updated with information from Acquia DAM, such as Asset URL or ID.

Requirements and limitations¶

The following requirements must be met for a successful automated workflow:

• Controlled metadata: Data used to populate controlled metadata fields must exactly match the controlled metadata value.
• Name matching: Data used to assign asset groups, asset categories, metadata types, or upload profiles must exactly match the name in the Acquia DAM.
• File support: The integration only processes standard Acquia DAM supported file types.

Requesting the integration¶

This feature is powered by a managed integration built by the Business Process Automation (BPA) team. To request this integration, users must follow the formal integration request process.
