Is there a way using the Asana API for my program to receive some sort of notification when items change or are added (such as new tasks, or comments)? I want to make a realtime app that integrates with Asana. For example, using the comments on an item in a way that it's a realtime chat between people. I imagine if Asana API can support this by sockets or long polling, that would be great.

(I work at Asana.) Not yet, but requests for a notification system are common and we are already designing a solution for it. While we are targeting real- or near-real-time responsiveness, I can't say for certain whether it will be appropriate to support "real-time chat" via comments, nor can I give any details on the timeline, but we'll definitely announce it when we launch.

    Any chance for WebHoks becoming available? 100requests per minute for large workspaces does not allow rapid detection of new stories/tasks/projects with polling approach... – myroslav Jun 04 '13 at 01:07

    Yes, I agree polling is an unscalable approach. As I said, we're already designing the solution and will be starting implementation sometime soon. – Greg S Jun 04 '13 at 02:34
  • Hi Greg--is there any update here on when this might become available? – Dan Loewenherz Oct 30 '13 at 22:14
  • It is under active development by one of our platform engineers. I can't give a real ETA yet, unfortunately. We hope some time in the next couple of months. – Greg S Nov 12 '13 at 17:52
  • Hi Greg - Any updates on this? For now, is polling the only approach for this? – KraigH Apr 01 '14 at 19:35
  • Sorry, still nothing released yet; we've diverted some API development resources to get our upcoming native mobile app out faster. But this is still top of our list on the platform side when we can staff it up again. – Greg S Apr 02 '14 at 20:39
  • Thanks for the feedback. We have some API resources back and will soon be working on getting this launchable. We're still scoping the remaining work so I can't promise anything, but if priorities remain the same and there are no big surprises, we may have a positive update on this in about 5-7 weeks. – Greg S Jul 08 '14 at 00:54
