  title: Asana Assign and Add Followers to a Task
  summary: Create a task, assign it to an owner, and add followers who should be notified.
  description: >-
    A handoff flow. The workflow creates a task in a workspace, assigns it to an
    owner, and then adds a set of followers who should receive notifications on
    the task. Each request is written inline so the handoff can be read and
    executed without opening the underlying OpenAPI description. The add-followers
    endpoint lives only in the full Asana description, so every step is addressed
    through that single source.
