Profanity Filter API + Asana Integration

Why connect them

The Profanity Filter API in Asana.

Asana helps teams orchestrate work from daily tasks to strategic initiatives. Connecting APIs to Asana enables automated task creation, intelligent project updates, and real-time data enrichment. Build self-maintaining project workflows.

What you can build

Workflows worth wiring.

Create tasks automatically when external systems report issues

Enrich task descriptions with data from customer APIs

Update project milestones based on external completion criteria

Generate weekly status tasks with aggregated metrics from APIs

Templates

Ready-made ideas.

New task created Filter profanity → add subtask if profane

Moderate task descriptions

When a task is created, check its description for profanity and add a moderation subtask if isProfane is true with the profaneWords count.

Task updated Filter profanity → escalate if profane

Flag profane content for review

When a task description is updated, re-check for profanity. Escalate priority if isProfane is true so moderators can review.

Setup

Connect it in a few steps.

Set up with Zapier

1
Set the trigger. Create a Zap with Asana as the trigger app and "New task" as the event. Connect your account.
2
Add the API action. Add APIVerve as the action, select the Profanity Filter API, and map your trigger data to the request.
3
Send it back. Add a second Asana action for "Create task" and map the returned fields (like isProfane) into it.
4
Test & turn on. Test the Zap with real data to confirm the mapping, then turn it on.

Set up with Make

1
Add the trigger. Create a scenario and add a Asana module set to "New task". Authenticate your account.
2
Call the API. Add an HTTP module pointing at api.apiverve.com/v1/profanityfilter with your x-api-key header. Pass the trigger's data as the input.
3
Parse & map. Add a JSON module to read the response, then a Asana module for "Create task". Map fields like data.isProfane into place.
4
Activate. Run once to confirm the mapping, then switch the scenario on and set its schedule.

Set up with n8n

1
Add the trigger node. Start a workflow with a Asana trigger node for "New task" and connect your credentials.
2
Add an HTTP Request node. Point it at api.apiverve.com/v1/profanityfilter using Header Auth (x-api-key). Feed in the trigger data.
3
Map with expressions. Add a Asana node for "Create task" and reference the response with expressions such as {{ $json.data.isProfane }}.
4
Execute & activate. Execute manually to verify, then activate the workflow for production.
