The Create project action creates a project in the specified Asana workspace. The action enables you to define project parameters such as owner, description, and due date in addition to assigning the project a team.

Overview

The Create project action creates a project in Asana and returns the details of the created project. If the workspace for the project is an organization, it is mandatory to specify the team. You can specify the parameters directly in the appropriate text box or create and select string variables for each parameter as the input fields support string variables.
