How To

As the topic, I have an add story comment module where I want to mention a user (whose user gid I have). I copied the code I found from Asana developers forum but it just posts the code.

Hello,

I checked the API documentation of Asana, and apparently something is missing in the Make module…

I will check if an update is released some time, but in the meantime, you could implement the following workaround:

Type /1.0/tasks/xxxxx/stories
xxxxx is you TaskID field

For the Body add:

{
    "data": {
        "html_text": "<a data-asana-guid=...."
    }
}

You can change the HTML with the text you had built.

Try it. I don’t have an Asana account so I can’t try it. I found the documentation here: Create a story on a task

I hope it works
