Create a portfolio

post

https://app.asana.com/api/1.0/portfolios

Required scope: portfolios:write

Creates a new portfolio in the given workspace with the supplied name.

Note that portfolios created in the Asana UI may have some state (like the “Priority” custom field) which is automatically added to the portfolio when it is created. Portfolios created via our API will not be created with the same initial state to allow integrations to create their own starting state on a portfolio.

Query Params

opt_fields

array of strings

This endpoint returns a resource which excludes some properties by default. To include those optional properties, set this query parameter to a comma-separated list of the properties you wish to include.

opt_fields

opt_pretty

boolean

Provides “pretty” output. Provides the response in a “pretty” format. In the case of JSON this means doing proper line breaking and indentation to make it readable. This will take extra time and increase the response size so it is advisable only to use this during debugging.

Body Params

The portfolio to create.

data

object

A portfolio gives a high-level overview of the status of multiple initiatives in Asana. Portfolios provide a dashboard overview of the state of multiple projects, including a progress report and the most recent project status update. Portfolios have some restrictions on size. Each portfolio has a max of 1500 items and, like projects, a max of 20 custom fields.

Response

Click Try It! to start a request and see the response here! Or choose an example:

application/json

201Successfully created portfolio.

400This usually occurs because of a missing or malformed parameter. Check the documentation and the syntax of your request and try again.

401A valid authentication token was not provided with the request, so the API could not associate a user with the request.

403The authentication and request syntax was valid but the server is refusing to complete the request. This can happen if you try to read or write to objects or properties that the user does not have access to.

404Either the request method and path supplied do not specify a known action in the API, or the object specified by the request does not exist.

500There was a problem on Asana’s end. In the event of a server error the response body should contain an error phrase. These phrases can be used by Asana support to quickly look up the incident that caused the server error. Some errors are due to server load, and will not supply an error phrase.
