Asana Trigger Node Not Filtering Events by Specified Project ID

Below is some guidance related to the Asana Trigger node configuration:

What to Check

• Configuration Validation:
  Double-check that the project ID you entered is correct and in the expected format. In some cases, a misconfiguration may result in the node receiving events from unintended resources.

• Webhook Filter Behavior:
  The Asana Trigger node is designed to create a webhook that listens for events from the Asana account. While it allows you to specify a resource (such as a project or task), this setting may not act as an absolute filter on incoming webhook events. Some users have noted that even when specifying a resource, events from other projects might still be received. This could be due to how the webhook and filtering is implemented in the underlying API or within the node's design.

• Community and Documentation:
  As of the latest documentation, there isn't an explicit note highlighting a strict filtering mechanism by the resource specified. It might be valuable to check in with the n8n community forum or GitHub issues for any related discussions. Others may have reported similar behavior, and there could be workarounds or future updates that address the issue.

Next Steps

• Test with a Controlled Setup:
  Try configuring a dedicated Asana project for the trigger to see if the behavior persists. This helps determine if the issue is related to the filtering logic or a broader integration behavior.

• Raise an Issue:
  If you confirm that the behavior is not as expected and the project id doesn't filter the events as intended, consider reporting this in the n8n community or on GitHub. When doing so, provide details such as:

  • The version of n8n you are using.
  • Your Asana Trigger node configuration.
  • Specific examples of the events received versus the expected resource.

While the documentation currently provides basic guidance on configuring the Asana Trigger, community feedback or bug reports can help in clarifying and potentially improving how resource filtering should work.

I hope this helps you troubleshoot the issue!
