Check out our ready-made templates available when you add a step and select **Templates > 3rd party templates**. You can use the templates to create a set of pre-configured steps. Need a specific template? Click the **Contact us** button in the top right of the page and let us know. ## Before you begin To start integrating, you need the following data from Asana: * your Personal Access Token (see [Asana documentation](https://developers.asana.com/docs/personal-access-token)) * your workspace, project, and task IDs. These can be extracted from URLs. For example, a task URL is constructed in the following way: [`https://app.asana.com/0/PROJECT_ID/TASK_ID`](https://app.asana.com/0/PROJECT_ID/TASK_ID) * your Asana section ID. You can query for it with [this call](https://developers.asana.com/reference/getsection). * your task name. You can use Asana search to get it. ## Dynamically assign tasks in Asana ### 1.
