How do I tag an Asana task?

Short answer: You can add tag to task in Asana by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Asana Add Tag to Task action to a workflow, map its 2 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.
