Create Asana project from template

Questions

Describe the problem/error/question

I’m trying to create a new Asana project from a template after the trigger on Pipedrive (Deal set to WON) gets activated. This doesn’t work as intended. I’ve been trying out multiple ways using JSON for Header and Body.

What is the error message (if any)?

Bad request - please check your parameters
requested_dates: [0]: value: Day cannot be null

Hi @kuldip_parmar, thanks for your reply!

I just shared the workflow in my original post. You should be able to look into it now.

Hello @FZ1991, welcome to community.
After I’m looking from Asana Project Docs, it’s because you’re set it wrong with the ‘value’ in your json body requests.

New n8n version doesn’t use .toISOString() method anymore, instead it is using .toIso() (maybe for simplifying).
So, for your case, you can use {{ $now.toISO().split('T')[0] }} instead of {{$now.toISOString().split('T')[0]}}

Dear @FZ1991 , in the HTTP module, inside value you are using due date as

{$now.toISOString().split(‘T’)[0]}}

Which is good but sometime platform like Asana don’t accept those date and time frame. As for the solution

Solution : {{$now.toISOString()}}

Use it and let me know whether it will work or not.

Make sure to use Value : {{$now.toISOString()}}

Happy to help.

(If this solves out the problem then please mark it as solution.)

Hello @kuldip_parmar, as the new version, .toISOString() isn’t available anymore in n8n. Instead, it needed to call .toISO() method.
See image below

This is if we use .toISOString()

And this if we use .toISO()

Thanks guys @cutecatcode & @kuldip_parmar!

I tried making it work with @cutecatcode’s suggestion and got another error message which I could fix afterwards by adding a couple of additional parameters to the Body JSON.

This is how it looks like now – works perfectly :rocket:

  "data": {
    "name": "{{ $json.deal_name }}: Onboarding",
