How do I list tasks in an Asana project?
Short answer: You can list tasks in Asana by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Asana List Tasks action to a workflow, map its 3 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.
Inputs
The fields this action accepts.
Every field can be mapped from an upstream trigger, AI step, table row, or hard-coded literal.
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Project GID project | string | Required | Project GID. Example: 1234567890 |
Completed Since completed_since | string | Optional | Only return tasks completed after this ISO 8601 date. Use 'now' for incomplete tasks only. |
Fields opt_fields | string | Optional | Comma-separated field names to include |
Sample request
{"project": "e.g. 1234567890","completed_since": "e.g. now","opt_fields": "e.g. name,assignee,due_on,completed"}
Returns
{"data": [{"gid": "12345","name": "Task 1","completed": false}]}
Use these fields in downstream nodes for routing, logging, or error handling.

FAQ
Questions about List Tasks.
What does the List Tasks action do in Asana?
Lists tasks in an Asana project. Used for sprint reviews, daily digests, or warehouse exports.
What inputs does List Tasks 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 Tasks support batch operations?
Run List Tasks 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.
