MX Lookup API + Asana Integration

Why connect them

The MX Lookup API in Asana.

Asana helps teams orchestrate work from daily tasks to strategic initiatives. Connecting APIs to Asana enables automated task creation, intelligent project updates, and real-time data enrichment. Build self-maintaining project workflows.

What you can build

Workflows worth wiring.

Create tasks automatically when external systems report issues

Enrich task descriptions with data from customer APIs

Update project milestones based on external completion criteria

Generate weekly status tasks with aggregated metrics from APIs

Templates

Ready-made ideas.

New task created Look up MX records → add subtask with results

Look up MX records on task creation

When a domain audit task is created in Asana, look up MX records and add a subtask listing the exchange hostnames and priority values.

Task created Look up MX records → escalate if empty

Flag tasks for domains without MX records

When a task includes a domain, look up its MX records. Automatically escalate priority if the mx array is empty.

Setup

Connect it in a few steps.

Set up with Zapier

1
Set the trigger. Create a Zap with Asana as the trigger app and "New task" as the event. Connect your account.
2
Add the API action. Add APIVerve as the action, select the MX Lookup API, and map your trigger data to the request.
3
Send it back. Add a second Asana action for "Create task" and map the returned fields (like domain) into it.
4
Test & turn on. Test the Zap with real data to confirm the mapping, then turn it on.

Set up with Make

1
Add the trigger. Create a scenario and add a Asana module set to "New task". Authenticate your account.
2
Call the API. Add an HTTP module pointing at api.apiverve.com/v1/mxlookup with your x-api-key header. Pass the trigger's data as the input.
3
Parse & map. Add a JSON module to read the response, then a Asana module for "Create task". Map fields like data.domain into place.
4
Activate. Run once to confirm the mapping, then switch the scenario on and set its schedule.

Set up with n8n

1
Add the trigger node. Start a workflow with a Asana trigger node for "New task" and connect your credentials.
2
Add an HTTP Request node. Point it at api.apiverve.com/v1/mxlookup using Header Auth (x-api-key). Feed in the trigger data.
3
Map with expressions. Add a Asana node for "Create task" and reference the response with expressions such as {{ $json.data.domain }}.
4
Execute & activate. Execute manually to verify, then activate the workflow for production.
