What Stacksync syncs in Asana.

These objects sync between Asana and any connected system, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution. Custom fields are picked up from the live schema where Asana exposes them.

Tasks
The primary unit of work and main record; created, updated, completed, and deleted via REST and synced two-way. Subtasks are Tasks with a parent reference.
Projects
Collections of Tasks with a layout (list, board, timeline, calendar); each project maps to a synced table scope and its custom fields define the mapping.
Sections
Ordered groupings of Tasks within a project; synced as a grouping attribute or category field on the row.
Custom fields
Typed fields (text, number, enum, multi-enum, date, people) defined at project or workspace level; mapped to database columns, with enum values written by option GID.
Stories
Comments and activity entries on a Task; read out for history and reporting or written back as comments.
Users
Members of a workspace or organization referenced by assignee and follower fields; read to resolve GIDs to names and emails.
Portfolios
Collections of Projects for program-level rollup; read for cross-project status and progress reporting (Business and Enterprise).
Tags
Labels applied across Tasks; synced as a many-to-many attribute for filtering and categorization.
Teams / Workspaces
Organizational containers that hold projects and members; used to scope which projects a given sync covers.
API surface

How Stacksync connects to Asana.

The connector runs on Asana's native API. Stacksync manages authentication, rate limits, retries, and schema changes so your team does not maintain integration code.

Connection
REST API (app.asana.com/api/1.0, JSON responses), plus resource-scoped Webhooks and a sync-token Events API
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 for multi-user apps, Personal Access Tokens (PATs) for single-account use and testing, and organization-scoped Service Accounts (Enterprise) for admin-level access
Change detection
Resource-scoped webhooks (established with an X-Hook-Secret handshake) POST events on create, change, and delete; the sync-token Events API returns incremental changes on a task or project when webhooks are not used
Rate limits
Per token: 1,500 requests/minute on paid plans, 150/minute on free; the Search API is capped at 60/minute; concurrency caps at 50 GET and 15 write requests. Exceeding a limit returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header, and a separate cost-based limiter applies to complex graph traversals.

Use cases

What teams run on the Asana connector.

Asana is a work-management platform owned by operations, PMO, and team leads — the day-to-day system of engagement where cross-functional work is tracked. Projects hold Tasks (the records: deliverables, tickets, campaigns, requests) organized into Sections, with typed Custom fields for status, owner, dates, and priority. Because teams live in it daily, Asana becomes the source of truth for project and workflow state that CRMs, ERPs, and databases need to read from and write into.

  • Operations managers
  • PMO / project leads
  • RevOps
  • Data engineering
  • Asana workspace admins

  1. Two-way sync of Tasks and their Custom fields between an Asana project and Postgres so ops teams work in SQL while project owners stay in Asana.

  2. Write closed deals or new orders from a CRM or ERP into Asana Tasks to launch delivery, onboarding, or fulfillment projects automatically.

  3. Mirror Projects, Sections, and Portfolios into a warehouse for cross-team reporting on status, timelines, and workload without CSV exports.

  4. Push support tickets or intake requests from an operational database into Asana Tasks, then read completion and status Custom fields back when work finishes.

  5. Sync Stories and completion changes from Asana into a database so downstream dashboards and tools react to project progress in near real time.

  6. Two-way sync Tasks and their Custom fields between a delivery project and Postgres: project owners update status in Asana while an internal app reads and writes the same rows in SQL, changes flowing both directions via webhooks and REST mutations.

How it works

Set up Asana in minutes, without APIs.

Configure and sync within minutes, no code. Whether you sync 50k or 100M+ records, Stacksync handles the queues, infra, and plumbing. Integrations are non-invasive and need zero setup on your systems.

FAQ

Asana connector FAQ

What can I sync with the Asana connector?

Asana's core objects — Tasks, Projects, Sections, Custom fields and custom fields — can sync with any of 302 other systems. Every integration is real-time and bidirectional, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution.

How does Stacksync connect to Asana?

Via REST API (app.asana.com/api/1.0, JSON responses), plus resource-scoped Webhooks and a sync-token Events API, authenticated with OAuth 2.0 for multi-user apps, Personal Access Tokens (PATs) for single-account use and testing, and organization-scoped Service Accounts (Enterprise) for admin-level access. Changes are detected as follows — resource-scoped webhooks (established with an X-Hook-Secret handshake) POST events on create, change, and delete; the sync-token Events API returns incremental changes on a task or project when webhooks are not used. Stacksync manages rate limits, retries, and schema changes automatically.

Is the Asana connector two-way?

Yes. Changes made in Asana propagate to the connected system and vice versa, in milliseconds. One-way flows are also supported when a direction should stay read-only.

How long does an Asana integration take to set up?

Most Asana integrations go live in minutes: authenticate Asana and the other system, pick objects and fields, and enable the sync. No code and no infrastructure to manage.

Is Asana data secure in transit?

Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR and HIPAA compliant. Asana data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means records are not retained after a sync operation.
