Asana webhooks

Task, project, section and story changes in a workspace.

Events

task.changed
task.added
project.changed
story.added

Signature

Handshake: the first request has X-Hook-Secret; echo it back in the same header. Then each request has X-Hook-Signature: HMAC-SHA256 of the raw body with that secret, hex encoded.

✓ A bin checks Asana signatures: add the X-Hook-Secret from the handshake under Signature verification (Asana).

Check a Asana signature with the free tool (use the GitHub preset).

Retries

Asana retries deliveries with backoff for up to 24 hours and deletes a webhook that keeps failing.

See a retry schedule in the calculator.
