Why teams connect 6sense and Asana

Flow 6sense data into Asana in real time — no exports, no schedulers, no custom scripts.

6sense is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Asana, so Asana always reflects the current state of 6sense — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

The CRM is supposed to be the record of every customer relationship, but customer-relevant information also accumulates in the other tools a team runs. Whatever Asana holds or produces that touches a customer, whether conversations, payments, replies, enriched data, or notes, the CRM only benefits if it arrives without someone copying it over.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror Projects, Sections, and Portfolios into a warehouse for cross-team reporting on status, timelines, and workload without CSV exports.
  • 02 Push support tickets or intake requests from an operational database into Asana Tasks, then read completion and status Custom fields back when work finishes.
  • 03 Enrich inbound leads with 6sense firmographic and account-match data before routing.
  • 04 Feed in-market account lists to sales engagement tools to start sequences automatically.

Common sync patterns

Where Asana can store CRM context: fields kept current

Owner, lifecycle stage, or account details from 6sense sync into Asana, so people working there have the context without switching tools.

Where Asana handles support or shared inboxes

Tickets and conversations attach to the right contact and account in 6sense, so sales sees open issues before the next call.

Where Asana supplies contact or company data

Enriched fields land directly on records in 6sense, and refreshes keep them from going stale.

What you can sync between 6sense and Asana

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

6sense objects Asana objects How this pairing syncs
People / Contacts Persona and contact data surfaced for accounts, used to build outreach lists. Sections Ordered groupings of Tasks within a project; synced as a grouping attribute or category field on the row. People / Contacts is specific to 6sense and Sections to Asana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reach Scores Model scores reflecting the level and recency of outreach to an account or contact, used to prioritize follow-up. 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. Reach Scores is specific to 6sense and Custom fields to Asana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Accounts Company records enriched with firmographics and intent data, matched to CRM accounts. Stories Comments and activity entries on a Task; read out for history and reporting or written back as comments. Accounts is specific to 6sense and Stories to Asana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Segments Dynamic account lists built from intent and fit criteria, read out to drive targeting. Users Members of a workspace or organization referenced by assignee and follower fields; read to resolve GIDs to names and emails. Segments is specific to 6sense and Users to Asana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Buying Stage Scores Model-predicted stage per account, synced onto CRM records for prioritization. Portfolios Collections of Projects for program-level rollup; read for cross-project status and progress reporting (Business and Enterprise). Buying Stage Scores is specific to 6sense and Portfolios to Asana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Intent Signals Keyword-level research activity used to flag in-market accounts. Tags Labels applied across Tasks; synced as a many-to-many attribute for filtering and categorization. Intent Signals is specific to 6sense and Tags to Asana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between 6sense and Asana

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

6sense Asana Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls 6sense for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Asana through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Asana 6sense Sub-second propagation

DetectionAsana notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Resource-scoped webhooks (established with an X-Hook-Secret handshake) POST events on create, change, and delete.

Delivery6sense does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: 6sense's output flows back as field updates on the originating Asana records.

Rate-limit considerations

  • 6sense: Subject to the platform's API rate limits, which vary by contracted API package.
  • Asana: 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.
