Why teams connect Affinity and Asana
Sync what happens in Asana with the customer records in Affinity, in real time and in both directions.
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.
Stacksync connects Portfolios, Tags, Teams / Workspaces, Tasks in Asana to Organizations, Opportunities, Field Values, Notes in Affinity with bi-directional, real-time sync. Activity and record changes in Asana update the matching contact or account in Affinity, and CRM data flows the other way wherever Asana can store and use it.
Common use cases
- 01 Sync Stories and completion changes from Asana into a database so downstream dashboards and tools react to project progress in near real time.
- 02 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.
- 03 Mirror deal-flow lists into a warehouse or BI tool for pipeline and portfolio reporting.
- 04 Push enrichment data computed elsewhere into Affinity field values on list entries.
Common sync patterns
Where Asana handles support or shared inboxes
Tickets and conversations attach to the right contact and account in Affinity, so sales sees open issues before the next call.
Where Asana supplies contact or company data
Enriched fields land directly on records in Affinity, and refreshes keep them from going stale.
Where Asana can store CRM context: fields kept current
Owner, lifecycle stage, or account details from Affinity sync into Asana, so people working there have the context without switching tools.
What you can sync between Affinity 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.
| Affinity objects | Asana objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Interactions Automatically captured emails and meetings, read for activity reporting. | 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. | Interactions is specific to Affinity and Custom fields to Asana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Reminders Follow-up tasks associated with people and organizations. | Stories Comments and activity entries on a Task; read out for history and reporting or written back as comments. | Reminders is specific to Affinity and Stories to Asana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Lists Pipelines (deal flow, fundraising, portfolio) that structure most Affinity data; syncs usually target a specific list. | Users Members of a workspace or organization referenced by assignee and follower fields; read to resolve GIDs to names and emails. | Lists is specific to Affinity and Users to Asana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| List Entries The membership of a person, organization, or opportunity on a list, carrying its list-specific fields. | Portfolios Collections of Projects for program-level rollup; read for cross-project status and progress reporting (Business and Enterprise). | List Entries is specific to Affinity and Portfolios to Asana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Persons Contact records enriched with relationship intelligence, synced with CRMs and outreach tools. | Tags Labels applied across Tasks; synced as a many-to-many attribute for filtering and categorization. | Persons is specific to Affinity and Tags to Asana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Organizations Company records matched to accounts in other systems by domain. | Teams / Workspaces Organizational containers that hold projects and members; used to scope which projects a given sync covers. | Organizations is specific to Affinity and Teams / Workspaces to Asana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Affinity 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.
Affinity Asana Sub-second propagation
DetectionAffinity notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook subscriptions for record events, supplemented by polling.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Asana through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Asana Affinity 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.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Affinity through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Rate-limit considerations
- Affinity: Subject to the platform's published API rate limits.
- 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.

FAQ
Affinity and Asana integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Affinity and Asana: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Affinity's Interactions and Reminders), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Yes. Each object mapping can be bidirectional or restricted to a single direction (both systems accept writes). Read-only mirrors, one-way pushes, and full two-way sync can be mixed in the same integration.

Common patterns for Affinity and Asana: Where Asana handles support or shared inboxes; Where Asana supplies contact or company data; Where Asana can store CRM context: fields kept current.

-
Affinity: REST API. Authentication: API key. Asana: 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. Stacksync manages authentication, retries, and rate limits on both sides.
-
Asana: Custom fields are defined at the project or workspace level and are typed (text, number, enum, multi-enum, date, people), so writes must send values shaped to each field's type, with enum values referenced by option GID. Affinity: The data model centers on lists: a person, organization, or opportunity gains list-specific field values only through its list entry, so syncs must address both the entity and the entry. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Affinity and Asana without custom code.
-
Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified with HIPAA BAA support. Data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means Affinity and Asana records are not retained after a sync operation.
