OAuth Readiness
Back to all apps

Asana

Generated live by the research agent (Gemini), checked 2026-10-19. Setup not tested by hand.

Building an OAuth application for Asana requires registering in the developer console to obtain a client ID and secret, implementing the authorization code grant flow, and submitting the app for review if you want it published in the public app directory. The review process typically provides an initial response within one week, though apps with app components undergo additional security and QA checks.

Tier 4: Review plus external requirements

Assumes: A public app that any external user can connect, requesting the scopes an AI agent typically needs to read and act on the user's data.

Solid dark bar: your hands-on work. Amber: the minimum wait. Hatched: the range sources disagree on, or an open-ended wait.[1][2]

Biggest blocker: Additional QA and security reviews for apps built with app components which may take longer due to added complexity.[2]

Why tier 4? Set by: security assessment. 2 facts unknown, so the tier could be higher.
The tier is computed from these seven facts by a fixed rule, not chosen by the AI. Low: some facts are unknown or rest on forum reports. Verify before you plan around this.
Self-serve credentialsYesYou can create an application directly from the developer console to receive a client ID and client secret.[1]
Limits until reviewedNoNot mentioned in the official process: unreviewed apps can be created and used without submitting for review if building an internal tool or testing.[2]
Provider reviewYesYou only need to submit your app if you intend to make it available to users beyond your own organization or development environment.[2]
Security assessmentYesNote that if your app uses app components your submission will go through a security review and QA process.[2]
Business verificationUnknownBusiness verification requirements are not explicitly detailed in the developer documentation. (no source)
Mandatory feesUnknownDeveloper platform or listing fees are not explicitly mentioned in the documentation. (no source)
Partner or paid accessNoNot mentioned in the official process: anyone can register an app via the developer console.[1]

You can start today without any of this. Composio already provides a managed OAuth app for Asana (asana), so users can connect while you work through your own app. You need your own app for your brand on the consent screen, your own rate limits, or scopes beyond the defaults. Managed auth list

If your case is different

Internal or Testing App
If you're building an internal tool or testing your integration, you can create and use an OAuth app without submitting it for review.

Steps

Agent steps an AI agent can do or draft for you. You steps that need your identity, accounts, legal authority or a real demo.

  1. Register application

    You

    Visit the developer console and select Create new app to provide an app name, redirect URL, and select initial OAuth scopes.[1]

  2. Implement OAuth flow

    Agent

    Write code supporting the authorization code grant flow, handling redirect callbacks, and making requests to the token exchange endpoint.[1]

  3. Perform Self-QA

    Agent

    Thoroughly test app experiences, marketing copy, authorization, and security best practices before submission.[2]

  4. Submit app for review

    You

    Complete the app submission form in the developer console, providing listing details, app icon, privacy policy URL, support URL, and a screencast video link.[2]

  5. Await review response

    AgentWait

    Wait for Asana's review team to provide an initial response, which aims to be within one week.[2]

  6. Publish app

    You

    Select the Publish app button in the developer console once the submission passes requirements.[2]

What you will need

  • Must supply an app name and a valid redirect URL (or urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob for native/command line applications).[1]
  • Must provide required listing details including support page URL, privacy policy URL, app icon, and a screencast video link.[2]

Nuances that catch people out

  • Client secrets must be protected as a password and should never be shared or added to client-side source code.[1]
  • Once an app has been submitted on the Submit for review page, the review process will begin and the app will no longer be open for further edits.[2]
  • Access tokens obtained via the standard OAuth flow last for one hour.[1]

If you get stuck or rejected

App submission does not meet requirements during review.
You will receive an email regarding the next steps and any changes required to get your app ready for re-review.[2]
