Power Automate HTTP Authentication

[Recep_Gencaslan1]

Hi Guys! So happy that I am here after a frustrating day of trying to pass the Authentication while creating an HTTP POST Method via Microsoft PowerAutomate.

What do I want to do?
I just want to move a task from one section into another one. So I used the POST https://app.asana.com/api/1.0/sections/1201520094677790/addTask URI.

I have created an access Token, Client ID as well as the Client Secret but now I am standing here and don´t even know where to put which data to authenticate in a proper way.

I do not even know if it was necessary to have all these token, id and secret… ^^

Available Options to authenticate via Power Automate HTTP are:

• Basic
• Client Certificate
• Active Directory OAuth
• Raw
• Enter custom value

Ive attached all the Options and their Input fields into this topic

I hope someone can tell me where to put what and also where I can find these Information!

Thanks a lot upfront!

When I do request using Postman, for example, authentication goes into the “Header” field.

It gives me the error

{“errors”:[{“message”:“Unrecognized request field gid. The only allowed keys at the top level are: data, options. Is it possible you did not wrap object properties in a data object?”,“help”:“For more information on API status codes and how to handle them, read the docs on errors: Errors”}]}

Ive attached the screenshots with the raw input as well as raw output

Result:

Here is also the Flow how I set it up:

You should try to do a working request in Postman first, just to get the syntax right.
