I've noticed that several "featured" Asana apps are integrated into the task pane (just search for "pane" in the app page.) For example, here's the Harvest button, once you enable their "app":
I'd like to do the same for my own extension. Is there a documented way to do this? Or should I put my Reverse Engineer hat on and code the thing in Greasemonkey?
Harvest is an official integration - we have an API for integrating public apps, but nothing we officially support for integrating into the UI. I'm not saying it's categorically impossible, but we certainly don't officially support this. Depending on what you want to do, Greasemonkey might be feasible for personal purposes, but we'd probably discourage customers from installing hacks like this. One misbehaving extension can destroy a lot of work - not just out of malice, but by accident, especially if something in our UI changes and the assumptions the Greasemonkey script made no longer applies.
In general, we'd love to provide hooks into Asana for third-party developers in future, but it's probably a long ways off. Can I ask what you're looking to provide? It may help inform our thinking for our roadmap.
