About Asana
Asana manages projects and tasks, helping teams stay in sync. To be truly effective, it needs to be where the work originates. Integrating Asana with communication and development tools allows you to turn loose conversations into tracked tasks and ensures that project status updates are reflected across your entire organization.
Integration Capabilities
Asana has 5 native integrations with leading business platforms. Connect via direct API, webhooks, or third-party automation tools for unlimited possibilities.
Browse Asana integrations below. Green integrations are native and free. Yellow integrations require an automation platform like Make ↗ to sync data.
Common Integration Patterns
- → Chat-to-Task: Extensive use of the Slack integration to turn casual requests in chat into formalized tasks in Asana.
- → File Attachment: Integrates with Google Drive/Dropbox to link live documents to tasks, ensuring the 'single source of truth' is always current.
- → Development Hand-off: Syncs Asana tasks to Jira tickets so product managers can track progress without entering the developer environment.
Integration Challenges
- ⚠ Guest Access Security: When integrating with external tools, it's easy to accidentally expose sensitive project data to guest users if permissions aren't scoped correctly.
- ⚠ Subtask Visibility: Many integrations only sync top-level tasks and ignore subtasks, leading to missed requirements.
- ⚠ Duplicate Tasks: Without unique identifiers, two-way syncs can sometimes create duplicate tasks if a connection is reset.
Before You Integrate
- 1. Define Project Conventions: Establish a naming convention for projects to make them easy to map in integration tools.
- 2. Review Privacy Settings: Check if the integrated project is 'Public to Organization' or 'Private' to prevent data leaks.
- 3. Test Subtask Sync: Verify if your specific integration supports subtasks if your workflow relies on them.
- 4. Clean Up Tags: Consolidate tags in Asana before integrating, as inconsistent tagging can break filtering logic in other tools.
