I am not able to create multiple task under a project in a single call to Asana.

Hi @Soumen_Jana,

No, not possible - it’s one task per API request.

However, you can use the Batch API to submit multiple requests at a time - check out the docs for the Batch API for details.

Hi @Phil_Seeman,

I have tried to push multiple tasks using BATCH API.
Please see the payload below :
{“actions”:[{“relative_path”:“/tasks”,“method”:“post”,“data”:{“workspace”:“967840855208084”,“projects”:[“982858752611718”],“notes”:“Geo Behavioural Audience”,“name”:“Geo Behavioural Audience”,“assignee”:“967839896278404”}},{“relative_path”:“/tasks”,“method”:“post”,“data”:{“workspace”:“967840855208084”,“projects”:[“982858752611718”],“notes”:“IO Revision”,“name”:“IO Revision”,“assignee”:“967839896278404”}}]}

Response :
{“errors”:[{“message”:“Bad Request”,“help”:“For more information on API status codes and how to handle them, read the docs on errors: Build an app with Asana”}]}

Any idea what i am missing here?

Thanks.

Correct Payload :
{“data”:{“actions”:[{“relative_path”:“/tasks”,“method”:“post”,“data”:{“workspace”:“967840855208084”,“projects”:[“982858752611718”],“notes”:“Geo Behavioural Audience”,“name”:“Geo Behavioural Audience”,“assignee”:“967839896278404”}},{“relative_path”:“/tasks”,“method”:“post”,“data”:{“workspace”:“967840855208084”,“projects”:[“982858752611718”],“notes”:“IO Revision”,“name”:“IO Revision”,“assignee”:“967839896278404”}}]}}
