Why teams connect Asana and Attio

Sync what happens in Asana with the customer records in Attio, 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 Stories, Users, Portfolios, Tags in Asana to People, Companies, Users, Deals in Attio with bi-directional, real-time sync. Activity and record changes in Asana update the matching contact or account in Attio, 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 Run a two-way dual-run when migrating to Attio from another CRM.
  • 04 Sync companies, people, and deals with Postgres so ops teams enrich and update CRM records with SQL.

Common sync patterns

Where Asana handles support or shared inboxes

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

Where Asana supplies contact or company data

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

Where Asana can store CRM context: fields kept current

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

What you can sync between Asana and Attio

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.

Asana objects Attio objects How this pairing syncs
Users Members of a workspace or organization referenced by assignee and follower fields; read to resolve GIDs to names and emails. Users Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Tags Labels applied across Tasks; synced as a many-to-many attribute for filtering and categorization. Custom objects Workspace-defined objects that behave like standard ones in the API. Tags is specific to Asana and Custom objects to Attio — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Teams / Workspaces Organizational containers that hold projects and members; used to scope which projects a given sync covers. People Standard person object; synced with marketing tools and warehouse person tables. Teams / Workspaces is specific to Asana and People to Attio — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Companies Standard company object; matched to billing and product accounts in two-way syncs. Tasks is specific to Asana and Companies to Attio — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Deals Pipeline records; read out for revenue reporting and written to from automation. Projects is specific to Asana and Deals to Attio — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sections Ordered groupings of Tasks within a project; synced as a grouping attribute or category field on the row. Workspaces Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Sections is specific to Asana and Workspaces to Attio — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Asana and Attio

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.

Asana Attio 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 Attio through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Attio Asana Sub-second propagation

DetectionAttio notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks on record and list-entry events, with polling as a fallback.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • 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.
  • Attio: Subject to the platform's published API rate limits.
