How do I list sections in an Asana project?

Short answer: You can list sections in Asana by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Asana List Sections action to a workflow, map its 1 input from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about List Sections.

What does the List Sections action do in Asana?

Lists sections in an Asana project with their names and order. Used to populate a section picker before creating or moving a task.

What inputs does List Sections require?

Required: Project GID. 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 run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Asana returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does List Sections support batch operations?

Run List Sections inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Asana's rate limits.
