I'm joining my app to Asana and I'm creating automatically tasks. I would like to notify assigned user to his new task. I didn't find anything about that from Asana API documentation

Does anyone have an idea to trigger a mobile notification? Is that even possible?

    Not possible - that's outside the scope of the API. A mobile notification would only happen through an Asana mobile app - and the user would have to explicitly subscribe to these types of notifications. – sjagr Nov 20 '15 at 16:45

When you create a task, you can assign it, or add followers to it, or even add a comment to it. But push notifications are logic the user controls, rather than the integration. If I want to be notified of new tasks assigned to me, I will be.

  • You're right. If notification are enable on user's phone, it will be showed. I didn't way enough to see it and I directly thought it was not working when you create a new task from the API. Thanks ! – brcebn Nov 24 '15 at 07:40
  • Note that if the API creates a task *for the user it's authorized as* they won't receive a notification ("you" assigned the task, so we don't notify you that it's been assigned to you). To make sure notifications are always sent out it's best to use a "bot" user authorized as the API. – agnoster Nov 24 '15 at 11:21
  • That's exactly what I've done after understanding that I'm not notify myself if I assign me a task. Thanks ! – brcebn Nov 24 '15 at 13:57
