# Asana Integration Setup

### Getting Started <a href="#h_01ha5ckrn9pz35ar0jkaswjzmn" id="h_01ha5ckrn9pz35ar0jkaswjzmn"></a>

BalkanID recommends creating a separate service account for the purposes of this integration, instead of using personal or employee named accounts. Make sure that the account has ownership or super admin level permissions.

#### Requirements: <a href="#h_01hq2k0bjbzy73x06t3ajx4zv5" id="h_01hq2k0bjbzy73x06t3ajx4zv5"></a>

3. Set up the *Primary Application owner (mandatory)* and the *Description*, if any. Set up Secondary Application Owner(s), if any. <br>

   Select the Extraction Type. From here, you can configure your application using one of the following methods:

   1. **Direct integration** - Provide your Personal Access Token obtained above to set up a direct connection with BalkanID.
   2. **SCIM integration** - Provide SCIM server credentials to set up a SCIM connection with BalkanID.&#x20;
   3. **Manual file upload** - Upload Entity and Entity Relations through a .CSV file upload. Contact the team for assistance with this. &#x20;
   4. **Automated upload using API -** You can upload data using our [Bulk APIs](https://developer.balkan.id/) with the help of an API key which will be provided to you. Please refer to the [entity](https://developer.balkan.id/bulk-entities-upload-api-early-access-12828095e0) and [entity relation](https://developer.balkan.id/bulk-entity-relations-upload-api-early-access-12828102e0) upload docs for specific instructions on uploading your data through the API.&#x20;
