  1. In Asana: create or pick a project for awaiting-client tasks.
  2. In Make / Zapier: webhook trigger.
  3. Add 'Asana Create Task' step. Task name: approval.subject. Due date: approval.due_at. Description: link back to /app/approvals/[id].
  4. In ClientNest365: subscribe a new webhook to approval.created.

Payload fields you'll use

  • approval.subject
  • approval.due_at
  • approval.id
  • client.name

Where to wire it in ClientNest365

Open your workspace at /app/settings/webhooks. Click + New endpoint. Paste the target URL from your automation platform (Zapier, Make, n8n) or the third-party tool's native webhook URL. Subscribe to the approval.created event. Save. Your endpoint secret is shown once at creation; copy it now if you plan to verify the HMAC signature on the receiving end.

Verifying the signature

Each webhook POST carries an X-CN-Signature header. The value is sha256=<hmac> where the HMAC is computed over the raw request body using your endpoint secret. Compare with constant-time equality. Reject mismatches.
