Asana AI unable to read documents attached by API

Hello,

I have connected our CRM to Asana and we have files which get added to tasks from our CRM. It seems that the attachments which get added via API can’t be read by Asana AI, however when I add the document manually it can be. This feels like a bit of a limitation as we are looking to streamline our process and not manually upload files if we don’t have to.

Any one have any ideas how these document attachments can be added by API and still be accessible by Asana AI?

Many thanks

Ah I have solved it.
It seems they Python SDK doesn’t have anywhere to force the Content-Type or I missed it. But using requests to attach the document made it readable by Asana AI. Game changer

Glad to hear you solved it! To clarify for others going forward: do you mean you used direct REST requests instead of the Python SDK so as to set the Content Type?

Yep! That is correct
