AsanaTaskQuerier: Asana Project ID issue

I have successfully created a Asana app for connecting to FME (giving me a Client ID and secret) and then established the connection as a web connection in FME Form, but when I try to use the AsanaTaskQuerier transformer and input the required parameters (Web Connection, Asana Project ID, and Query Type) the Asana Project ID gives me an error, “Arithmetic expression invalid”. I followed the help documentation for the custom transformer and it seems straight forward enough, but no matter which Project ID link I copy and paste into the field, it gives the same error and won't let me click OK to run the transformer. I have successfully tested the connection and know that works, the issue seems to be in the Asana Project ID, possibly because it seems to have to be an Arithmetic field? The FME Help documentation for this says to input the Asana Project ID as follows, which I have done so in the same format. Does anyone have a solution to what the issue is or if you have come across this issue?
 

  • Web Connection: Chose a Asana Web Connection
  • Asana Project ID: This can be found on your Asana URL.
    • For example:
      https://app.asana.com/1/WORKSPACE_ID/project/PROJECT_ID/list/TASK_ID
  • Query Type: Choose which type(s) of tasks you want to query

Hi ​@bdehar

It was great chatting with you this morning. I’ve updated the transformer, https://hub.safe.com/publishers/safe-lab/transformers/asanataskquerier and adding some more details in the doc for other users. 

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Good morning ​@siennaatsafe,

 

Thanks so much for your help. I was just wondering if there is a way to pull subtasks? Currently the transformer is pulling the tasks from the Project in Asana, but isn’t pulling the subtasks created.

Hi ​@bdehar

You’ll have to use the HTTPCaller to get Subtasks. https://developers.asana.com/reference/getsubtasksfortask

If you’ve never used the HTTPCaller before I’d recommend reading through this article: https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407505250189-Making-a-GET-Request-with-HTTPCaller

Thanks,
Sienna

Awesome ​@siennaatsafe, that worked! had to add an AttributeCreator transformer and then an HTTPCaller to pull the subtasks from the main project tasks. Thanks so much!
