Connect OpenClaw to Asana
Let an OpenClaw agent create, search and update tasks and post project status in Asana, with no credentials handed to the agent.
Asana is the work tracker for teams that manage projects rather than code: marketing launches, operations checklists, onboarding plans and cross-team programs. A project in Asana is only as useful as the tasks inside it, and keeping those tasks accurate is its own job. Action items from meetings never get entered, due dates drift, and the weekly status update takes an hour to assemble from a board everyone can already see.
With Claworc’s External Connections, an OpenClaw agent can work
inside your Asana workspace on your behalf. You authorize Asana once through a popup,
Composio holds the resulting token, and the agent gets an auto-generated claworc-asana
skill that describes which Asana tools exist and how to call them. The agent never sees a
password, an OAuth token or a personal access token.
Tools available to OpenClaw agents
Section titled “Tools available to OpenClaw agents”Composio’s Asana toolkit exposes more than 150 actions covering tasks, projects, sections, portfolios, goals and teams. In practice an OpenClaw agent leans on a handful of capabilities:
- Search tasks — find tasks by text, assignee, project, due date or completion state across a workspace.
- List project and section tasks — see everything in a project or in one column of its board.
- Create tasks and subtasks — add tasks with an assignee, due date, description and project, and break them into subtasks.
- Update a task — change a task’s assignee, due date, completion state or custom fields.
- Move between sections — shift a task to another section, for example from “In progress” to “Review”.
- Comment on tasks — leave a comment so the change is explained in the task’s history.
- Post project status — publish a status update on a project with a color and summary.
Every tool is called through a small broker running next to the agent, so the agent only needs to describe what it wants done in plain language and let the skill handle the rest.
Use cases
Section titled “Use cases”Turn meeting notes into tasks
Section titled “Turn meeting notes into tasks”Paste the notes from a planning call and say “file the action items in the Launch project.” The agent creates one task per item with the owner and due date mentioned in the notes, adds subtasks where an item has obvious steps, and puts each task in the right section. It replies with a list of links so you can check its work in a minute.
Write the weekly status update
Section titled “Write the weekly status update”On Friday, ask the agent to list what was completed in the project this week, what is overdue, and what is due next week, then post a project status update with a short summary and the appropriate color. The people who follow the project get the update in Asana, and you did not spend the afternoon assembling it.
Chase what is slipping
Section titled “Chase what is slipping”“Find every task in Operations due before today that is not complete.” The agent searches the workspace, groups the results by assignee, and comments on each task asking for a new date or a status. When the owner replies, ask the agent to update the due date for them.
Get started
Section titled “Get started”Connecting Asana takes three steps: an admin adds a Composio API key to Claworc’s
settings, you open the instance’s Settings tab, click + Add connection, pick
Asana and sign in. The claworc-asana skill appears in the instance a moment later. The
full walkthrough, including the exact Composio permissions the key needs, is in the
External Connections documentation.
