Sorry if this has been asked before, but I am new to the forum and was not successful in searching for a similar question.
I am automating the process of creating Asana tasks within some other applications we run. I have everything working fine with the exception of being able to add @mention tags to the Task comments. I have tried including @, @ within the comment text, but neither seem to work, it just appears as text inside the comment, not as a mention.
Is this not possible using the API? It is key for me to gain faster EU buy-in to the process.
Example payload using gid (I have replaced all with XXXXXXXX):
{
"projects": [
"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
],
"memberships": [
{
"project": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
"section": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
}
],
"name": "RMA0002878",
"due_on": "2025-01-27",
"assignee": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
"notes": "Hey @XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX can you check this and then let @XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX know what you get?",
"custom_fields": {},
"followers": [],
"images": []
}
This examples uses the user name:
{
"projects": [
"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
],
"memberships": [
{
"project": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
"section": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
}
],
"name": "RMA0002878",
"due_on": "2025-01-27",
"assignee": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
"notes": "Hey @Fernando Gisone can you check this and let @Steve Tice know what you find out?",
"custom_fields": {},
"followers": [],
"images": []
}
This creates the task as desired but the @XXXXXXXXXXXX in the comments remains as text with @ or @ not as a tag. Is there some other way I need to get these in?
Thanks!
