Why teams connect Asana and BigQuery

Get the data locked inside Asana into BigQuery as live tables, and send results back where Asana can use them, without writing a pipeline.

Whatever Asana is used for, it accumulates data the rest of the company wants to analyze, and that data usually sits behind an API rather than in the warehouse. Building and babysitting an extraction pipeline is the tax most teams pay for it.

Stacksync syncs Teams / Workspaces, Tasks, Projects, Sections from Asana into tables in BigQuery continuously, handling schema, rate limits, and retries. Because the sync is bi-directional, results computed in BigQuery can also be written back into fields in Asana where the tool can use them.

Common use cases

  • 01 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.
  • 02 Write closed deals or new orders from a CRM or ERP into Asana Tasks to launch delivery, onboarding, or fulfillment projects automatically.
  • 03 Feed ML feature tables in BigQuery from operational systems on a continuous schedule
  • 04 Land CRM and ERP records in BigQuery continuously so dashboards reflect business systems without nightly batch jobs

Common sync patterns

History that outlives the tool

A continuously synced copy in BigQuery preserves a queryable record even as data ages out of Asana or gets changed inside it.

Analytics on Asana's data

Records and events from Asana land in BigQuery as queryable tables, current within seconds and ready to join with the rest of the warehouse.

Cross-tool reporting

Combine Asana's data with data from every other synced system to answer questions no single tool can.

What you can sync between Asana and BigQuery

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 BigQuery objects How this pairing syncs
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. Projects Connection scope: the service account grants access per project. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions. Custom fields on either side are included in the mapping.
Teams / Workspaces Organizational containers that hold projects and members; used to scope which projects a given sync covers. Datasets Organizational container — you pick which dataset’s tables to sync. Teams / Workspaces is specific to Asana and Datasets to BigQuery — 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. Tables The syncable unit: only tables can be synced per the Stacksync docs. Tasks is specific to Asana and Tables to BigQuery — 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. Partitioned tables Synced like regular tables; partition columns map to target fields. Sections is specific to Asana and Partitioned tables to BigQuery — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Clustered tables Supported; clustering is transparent to the sync. Custom fields is specific to Asana and Clustered tables to BigQuery — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Asana and BigQuery

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 BigQuery 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 applied to BigQuery as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

BigQuery Asana Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in BigQuery are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Real-time notification service deployed into your Google Cloud project: Eventarc ("a notification service that enables real-time updates to happen").

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.
  • BigQuery: Subject to Google Cloud quotas on queries, DML, and streaming; DML is supported but the platform favors append-heavy batch and streaming loads over row-at-a-time writes.
