Configuration
10 fields, 1 required. A dotted path is a nested object and name[] an array of objects — the editor renders the same tree.
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Constraints | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
workspace_gid The workspace or organization gid to search in. | string | Yes | — | — | — |
text Full-text search over task names and descriptions. | string | No | — | — | — |
completed True for completed tasks only, false for incomplete only; unset for both. | boolean | No | — | — | — |
assignee_any Comma-separated user gids, email addresses, or 'me' — sent as assignee.any. | string | No | — | — | — |
projects_any Comma-separated project gids — sent as projects.any. | string | No | — | — | — |
sort_by Which field orders the results. | string | No | modified_at | one of "due_date", "created_at", "completed_at", "likes", "modified_at", "relevance" | — |
sort_ascending True to sort oldest/smallest first. Asana defaults to descending. | boolean | No | false | — | — |
filters Any other documented search parameter as JSON, e.g. {"due_on.before": "2026-10-01", "tags.any": "12345", "is_subtask": false}. | object | No | — | — | {"due_on.before":"2026-10-01","is_subtask":false,"tags.any":"12345"} |
limit Maximum records to return in this page. Asana caps a page at 100. | number | No | — | 1–100 | — |
opt_fields Comma-separated extra fields to return, e.g. 'name,completed,due_on,assignee.name'. Asana returns a thin default set without it. | string | No | — | — | — |
Example configuration
Every value below is the contract’s own example or default — nothing invented.
{
"filters": {
"due_on.before": "2026-10-01",
"is_subtask": false,
"tags.any": "12345"
},
"sort_ascending": false,
"sort_by": "modified_at"
}Output
One shape.
result
| Field | Type | Example |
|---|---|---|
items The records Asana returned for this page. | array | — |
count How many records this page contains. | number | — |
next_offset Pagination token for the next page, or null when this is the last page. | string | — |
{
"count": 0,
"items": [],
"next_offset": ""
}Notes
- Search is workspace-scoped, needs a premium Asana workspace or team, is eventually consistent (10-60s behind writes) and does not paginate — 'next_offset' is always null here.
See Search Tasks run in a workflow.
In a technical demo we add the Asana connection, drop the node on the canvas and let Workflow Health pre-flight it before the first real run.
