Hello -
I would like Zapier to recognize certain Asana tasks (currently identified by a specific tag), however I can’t see to find the correct setup of the filter to pull the task.
Here is a screenshot of the filter step: Zight 2024-07-14 at 10.19.2...
Please help me sort out what I’m doing wrong / or if needed another way to accomplish this.
Thanks!
Hi @Lindsay16,
A tag is stored and referenced internally within the Asana data store by a unique ID called a gid (for “global ID”); the text of the tag is not stored within the task so I don’t think you’ll be able to reference the tag’s name in Zapier. You can see this if you look at what Zapier pulls in for a sample task:
You can see that “Tags” is empty - has no value - and “Tags Gid” contains the gid of the tag that’s attached to this particular task.
So for flitering I think you’ll need to get the gid of the desired tag and do this:
Q: How do I get a tag’s gid??
A: If you click on a tag’s chip in a task that has that tag on it, it will take you to a view showing all of the instances of that tag. In the browser’s address bar, the number is that tag’s gid.
If you want to get a list of all of your tags and their gids, you can use the iDO Tags Explorer; you’ll need to pay for a token to view their gids.
Hello - I have sorted this out!
I created a new custom field specifically for this data and that seems to be working better.
