How to Install Exalate for Asana

This article describes how to set up Exalate synchronization with your Asana workspace.

Exalate for Asana: Unlike traditional Asana apps, Exalate for Asana is a hosted service that connects to your workspace via API. Your data remains secure and is only accessed through Asana's official API.

Before you begin

Ensure you have:

Admin permissions in your Asana workspace
Access to create Personal Access Tokens in Asana
Your Workspace GID (we'll show you how to find this)
An Exalate account

Step 1: Find your Asana Workspace GID

The Workspace GID is a unique number that identifies your Asana workspace.

From any Asana task URL

Open any task in your workspace and look at the URL:

V0 Format: https://app.asana.com/0/1208662487042272/1234567890123456
V1 Format: https://app.asana.com/1/1208662487042272/project/1234567890123456

The Workspace GID is the first long number after /0/ or /1/

Step 2: Create an Asana Personal Access Token

In Asana, click your profile picture in the top right
Select Settings
Go to the Apps tab
Click Manage Developer Apps
Click Create New Personal Access Token
Give it a name like "Exalate Integration"
Copy the token immediately

Security: Treat your Personal Access Token like a password. Don't share it or store it in unsecured locations.

Step 3: Register with Exalate

Go to the Exalate registration page
Select Asana as your platform
Enter your workspace information:
- Workspace URL: https://app.asana.com/0/YOUR_WORKSPACE_GID
- Personal Access Token: The token from Step 2
Complete the registration process

Step 4: Test the connection

After registration, Exalate will test the connection to your workspace. You should see a success message confirming:

Workspace access is working
Token permissions are sufficient
Basic task and project access is available
