How Asana connections work
Each Asana connection is authenticated with a personal access token (PAT) issued by an Asana account. When you connect Asana, you authorize Lovable to call Asana on behalf of the account that issued the PAT. Within your Lovable workspace:- You can create multiple Asana connections.
- Each connection uses a separate PAT.
- Each connection can:
- Be tied to a different Asana account
- Access different Asana workspaces or projects, depending on the PAT’s permissions
- Multiple projects within a single workspace can use the same connection.
