Why teams connect Asana and Cin7

Bridge the tools people work in and the system the business runs on: real-time, two-way sync between Asana and Cin7.

The ERP holds the records the business is run on, and it is rarely where day-to-day work happens. Asana is closer to the work, and the two often need the same facts about the same people, organizations, and transactions. Bridging them by hand, or by nightly file transfer, leaves each side out of date for hours at a time.

Stacksync syncs Sections, Custom fields, Stories, Users in Asana with Contacts, Branches / locations, Stock adjustments and transfers, Credit notes / returns in Cin7 bi-directionally and in real time, with field-level mapping and rules for which system wins on conflict. Changes made where the work happens reach the system of record within seconds, and the reverse.

Common use cases

  • 01 Push support tickets or intake requests from an operational database into Asana Tasks, then read completion and status Custom fields back when work finishes.
  • 02 Sync Stories and completion changes from Asana into a database so downstream dashboards and tools react to project progress in near real time.
  • 03 Sync sales orders from Cin7 into an accounting platform or warehouse for revenue and margin reporting.
  • 04 Keep customer records aligned between Cin7 and the CRM to remove duplicate account entry.

Common sync patterns

Where Cin7 is the HR or people system of record

Worker and organization data from Cin7 stays current in Asana, so the tools people use daily reflect the org as it actually is.

Master data corrections travel

A customer, supplier, or contact detail corrected in either system updates the other, ending duplicate maintenance.

Where Asana faces customers and Cin7 carries account records

Order, invoice, or account status from Cin7 appears alongside the customer in Asana, so front-line teams answer from live data.

What you can sync between Asana and Cin7

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 Cin7 objects How this pairing syncs
Teams / Workspaces Organizational containers that hold projects and members; used to scope which projects a given sync covers. Branches / locations Warehouse entities that scope every stock movement and order allocation. Teams / Workspaces is specific to Asana and Branches / locations to Cin7 — 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. Stock adjustments and transfers Inventory movements read for audit and reconciliation reporting. Tasks is specific to Asana and Stock adjustments and transfers to Cin7 — 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. Credit notes / returns Return documents synced so finance and support see the same refund state. Projects is specific to Asana and Credit notes / returns to Cin7 — 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. Products SKU records with options and pricing, synced with storefront and marketplace catalogs. Sections is specific to Asana and Products to Cin7 — 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. Inventory levels Stock on hand by branch or location, published outward for availability. Custom fields is specific to Asana and Inventory levels to Cin7 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stories Comments and activity entries on a Task; read out for history and reporting or written back as comments. Sales orders Orders captured from all channels; the main object for fulfillment and revenue syncs. Stories is specific to Asana and Sales orders to Cin7 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Asana and Cin7

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 Cin7 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 Cin7 through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Cin7 Asana Sub-second propagation

DetectionCin7 notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Polling on modified-date filters.

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.
  • Cin7: Subject to per-account API rate limits that differ between Cin7 Omni and Cin7 Core.
