How to Test Asana Webhooks

Asana webhooks notify your application when tasks, projects, and stories change so project data stays synchronized.

1. Asana Webhook Events

Asana can send the following webhook events to your endpoint:

2. Set Up a Test Endpoint with HookRay

Follow these steps to start receiving Asana webhooks for testing:

1. Go to HookRay and click "Start Testing — Free" to get your unique webhook URL.
2. Copy the URL (e.g., https://h.hookray.com/abc123).
3. In your Asana dashboard, navigate to the webhook settings and paste the HookRay URL as your endpoint.
4. Select the events you want to receive (see list above).
5. Trigger a test event — HookRay will show the incoming webhook in real-time.

3. Sample Asana Webhook Payload

Here's an example of what a Asana webhook payload looks like:

{
  "events": [
    {
      "action": "changed",
      "created_at": "2026-03-20T14:00:00.000Z",
      "parent": null,
      "resource": {
        "gid": "1234567890",
        "resource_type": "task",
        "name": "Set up webhook endpoint"
      },
      "type": "task",
      "user": {
        "gid": "9876543210",
        "resource_type": "user"
      }
    }
