Authentication

A connector's access token property specifies how the connector handles authentication.

End-user authentication

user Workflows that include a connector function relying on end-user authentication can can only be started with a link trigger.

asana_access_token: {
    credential_source: "END_USER"
}

End-user experience: User will be prompted to link their external account via OAuth when they first start the workflow that contains this connector.

Developer experience: Developer does not have to implement authentication in app.

How to use

First, import Connectors from deno-slack-hub into your project's import_map.json file, like this:

{
  "imports": {
    "deno-slack-hub/": "https://deno.land/x/deno_slack_hub@2.2.0/",
    "deno-slack-sdk/": "https://deno.land/x/deno_slack_sdk@2.14.2/",
    "deno-slack-api/": "https://deno.land/x/deno_slack_api@2.8.0/",
  }
}

Next, import Connectors at the top of your workflow's definition file:

// my_workflow_file.ts
import { Connectors } from "deno-slack-hub/mod.ts";

Finally, add the connector as a step in your workflow just like you would a built-in Slack function.

SomeWorkflow.addStep(
  Connectors.Asana.functions.CreateProject, {
    // The globally unique identifier for the workspace or organization
    workspace_gid: "0fb0abc-1qwe234-asdf1234-zxcv0987",

    // The globally unique identifier for the team that this project should be shared with
    team: "0fb0abc-1qwe234-asdf1234-zxcv0987",

    // Name of the project. This is generally a short sentence fragment that fits on a line in the UI for maximum readability. However, it can be longer.
    project_name: "Vintage promo event",

    // (Optional) The day on which work for this project begins, or null if the project has no start date. This takes a date with <code>YYYY-MM-DD</code> format. <em>Note: <code>due_on</code> or <code>due_at</code> must be present in the request when setting or unsetting the <code>start_on</code> parameter. Additionally, <code>start_on</code> and <code>due_on</code> cannot be the same date.</em>
    // start_on: "2023-12-25",

    // (Optional) The day on which this project is due, in <code>YYYY-MM-DD</code> format
    // due_on: "2024-07-04",

    // (Optional) Free-form text associated with this project
    // description: "These are critical tasks for our Vintage Promo Event",

    // (Optional) An array of Slack user IDs to be added as project followers. In Asana, followers are a subset of members who have opted in to receive 'tasks added' notifications for a project.
    // collaborators: ["U123456","U987653"],

    asana_access_token: { credential_source: "END_USER" }
  }
);

🧙🏼 Your admin may need to approve the connector first. If your workspace has been configured to only allow admin-approved apps, the CLI will prompt you to send an admin approval request the first time you try to use a connector that hasn't been approved by an admin yet. While waiting for admin approval, the CLI may report an error like this:

Workflow function... is referring to an unknown step output parameter...

You can safely ignore this error; it will go away as soon as your workspace admin approves your request to use the connector.
