- A Personal **Access Token** (PAT)

To get your PAT:

1. Open the Asana [developer console](https://app.asana.com/0/my-apps).
1. In the **Personal access tokens** section, select **Create new token**.
1. Enter a **Token name**, like `n8n integration`.
1. Check the box to agree to the **Asana API terms**.
1. Select **Create token**.
1. Copy the token and enter it as the **Access Token** in your n8n credential.

Refer to the [Asana Quick start guide](https://developers.asana.com/docs/quick-start#setup) for more information.

## Using OAuth2

To configure this credential, you'll need an [Asana](https://asana.com/) account.

Note for n8n Cloud users

Cloud users don't need to provide connection details. Select **Connect my account** to connect through your browser.

If you're [self-hosting](../../../../hosting/) n8n, you'll need to register an application to set up OAuth:

1. Open the Asana [developer console](https://app.asana.com/0/my-apps).
1. In the **My apps** section, select **Create new app**.
1. Enter an **App name** for your application, like `n8n integration`.
1. Select a purpose for your app.
1. Check the box to agree to the **Asana API terms**.
1. Select **Create app**. The page opens to the app's **Basic Information**.
1. Select **OAuth** from the left menu.
1. In n8n, copy the **OAuth Redirect URL**.
1. In Asana, select **Add redirect URL** and enter the URL you copied from n8n.
1. Copy the **Client ID** from Asana and enter it in your n8n credential.
1. Copy the **Client Secret** from Asana and enter it in your n8n credential.
