Hello all,

I would like to know if it is possible to import a csv file completely (sections, tasks, subtasks, …) into asana via api (maybe even with custom fields)?

Hi,

Did you check the [API doc](https://developers.asana.com/docs)?

Take care

Yes, but I have not found anything suitable to import the csv file via API. Do you have a tip or have I overlooked something?

I believe this is indeed not possible with the API.

@Bastien_Siebman, I think it’s best to keep it in the #Developers & API category as our API/Dev team is closely watching it 🙂

Hi @Bjorn_Seaton,

There is still not currently an API-based import function.

Asana doesn’t comment on unreleased features or future plans, so we can’t know if or when this might be developed.

I wonder if you might be able to accomplish this via a third-party tool like Zapier or Make? Just a thought…

Hi @Bastien_Siebman, do you know if there is any update on this function? I’m looking for a way to import a CSV to an asana project using the python api

I believe nothing was announced. Did you consider writing a little script in Python to call the API yourself? possibly using the batch API?
