Add a Figma comment when a new Asana task is created

How this automation works

Post comments to Figma whenever new Asana tasks are created to keep design work tied to current tasks. The Applet triggers when a new task appears in the Asana project you specify and adds the task details as a comment to the Figma file you choose. This helps product and design teams keep task context visible in Figma so designers can quickly act without switching to Asana.
