A simple node/Applescript script to import your assigned tasks from Asana into Omnifocus, and to sync changes to those tasks in either direction.
This script syncs any tasks in your default Asana workspace that are assigned to you. Tasks assigned to you are copied from Asana into OmniFocus, and will be set to matching project names in OmniFocus if they exist. All Asana tasks will be added to a context named "Asana", and should stay in that context. Changes to the name, completed status, due date, or notes will be synced whether the change is made on Asana or OmniFocus. If the task is no longer assigned to you in Asana it will stop syncing.
OmniFocus 2, Node & NPM, Asana personal access token
npm install
You will need to create a personal access token in Asana. You can do this from the Developer App Management page when logged in.
Copy your access token and paste it into index.js as the value of ASANA_ACCESS_TOKEN:
const ASANA_ACCESS_TOKEN = "0/ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff";
To run once:
./index.js
To run automatically, edit the plist file to point to the correct paths to node and this script, and enter your macOS username in the path under WatchPaths. Then copy the file to ~/Library/LaunchAgents and load the job:
cp com.github.nbolender.asana-omnifocus-sync.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.github.nbolender.asana-omnifocus-sync.plist
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.github.nbolender.asana-omnifocus-sync.plist
This will sync your tasks every 30 minutes when OmniFocus is running, or when your OmniFocus database changes.
