FAQ

Questions about Add Comment.

What does the Add Comment action do in Asana?

Adds a comment (story) to an Asana task. Used for automation activity logs, AI summary notes, or status broadcasts.

What inputs does Add Comment require?

Required: Task GID, Comment Text. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Asana returns an error?

The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.

Does Add Comment support batch operations?

Yes. Run Add Comment inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Asana's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
