Asana in synergy with DataChannel enables you to have all your project related data stored in a secured location, i.e., the data warehouse.

Note: To check out our detailed API documentation on Project Management with Asana, follow this link.

‍Custom Field: Projects in Asana can hold user-specified custom fields which provide extra information (e.g., custom field = ‘Priority’ and Metadata = ‘low, medium or high’). This lets a user define the type of information that each item in a project can contain in addition to the already provided fields within Asana. There is metadata that defines the custom field. This metadata can be shared across an entire workspace, or be specific to a project. DataChannel helps you store all your custom fields’ meta data within a workspace safely into a data warehouse.The custom fields data is segregated based on relevant custom field_id and project name with all the other crucial project related information remaining intact.

Tasks: A task is the basic object around which many operations in Asana are centered. A task assigned to any individual involved within a project (followed by a workspace) looks something like this-

With our ‘tasks’ pipeline users can get data around different tasks active within a workspace along with the task_id, task name, the assignee details  and the status of the task if it is currently active or completed, etc.

Teams: A team is used to group related projects and people together within an organization. Each project in an organization is associated with a team. This endpoint helps you fetch your team’s project related information with parameters ranging around team names & their descriptions, team access management level data, organization along with the organization’s unique_id.

Users: A user object represents an account in Asana that can be given access to various workspaces, projects, and tasks. DataChannel’s users’ endpoints enable you to fetch all your user related data within a workspace. The data can involve their workspace specific user_id, name and email address associated with the user along with the image url link to their id.
