Why teams connect Asana and Close
Sync what happens in Asana with the customer records in Close, 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 Tasks, Projects, Sections, Custom fields in Asana to Tasks, Custom Activities, Custom Fields, Users in Close with bi-directional, real-time sync. Activity and record changes in Asana update the matching contact or account in Close, and CRM data flows the other way wherever Asana can store and use it.
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 Sync Close leads and opportunities into Postgres or a warehouse for pipeline reporting outside Close's built-in reports.
- 04 Two-way sync between Close and a billing or ERP system so closed-won opportunities create customers and invoices automatically.
Common sync patterns
Where Asana handles support or shared inboxes
Tickets and conversations attach to the right contact and account in Close, so sales sees open issues before the next call.
Where Asana supplies contact or company data
Enriched fields land directly on records in Close, and refreshes keep them from going stale.
Where Asana can store CRM context: fields kept current
Owner, lifecycle stage, or account details from Close sync into Asana, so people working there have the context without switching tools.
What you can sync between Asana and Close
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 | Close objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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. | Tasks Follow-up items assigned to users; synced for workload and SLA reporting. | Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions. | |
| 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. | Custom Fields Org-specific fields on leads, contacts, and opportunities; addressed by stable field ids in syncs. | Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions. | |
| Users Members of a workspace or organization referenced by assignee and follower fields; read to resolve GIDs to names and emails. | Users Sales reps referenced as owners on leads, opportunities, and activities. | Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions. | |
| 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. | Activities Calls, emails, SMS, notes, and meetings logged against a lead; the source for engagement analytics. | Projects is specific to Asana and Activities to Close — 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. | Custom Activities User-defined activity types with their own custom fields, mapped like standard activities. | Sections is specific to Asana and Custom Activities to Close — 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. | Smart Views Saved lead searches that can scope which records a segment-based sync pulls. | Stories is specific to Asana and Smart Views to Close — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Asana and Close
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 Close 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 Close through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Close Asana Sub-second propagation
DetectionClose notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook subscriptions for record events, with polling on date_updated fields for backfills.
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.
- Close: Subject to per-endpoint rate limits communicated in response headers.

FAQ
Asana and Close integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Asana and Close: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Asana's Tasks and Custom fields), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both Asana and Close. The connectors handle authentication, schema detection, rate limits, and retries; you configure the sync, and Stacksync operates it.
-
Change detection on Asana: Resource-scoped webhooks (established with an X-Hook-Secret handshake) POST events on create, change, and delete; the sync-token Events API returns incremental changes on a task or project when webhooks are not used. On Close: Webhook subscriptions for record events, with polling on date_updated fields for backfills. Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
-
On the Asana side: Tasks, Projects, Sections, Custom fields, plus custom fields where Asana exposes them. On the Close side: Tasks, Custom Activities, Custom Fields, Users. Stacksync auto-detects both schemas and converts types between the two systems.
-
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 Asana and Close: Where Asana handles support or shared inboxes; Where Asana supplies contact or company data; Where Asana can store CRM context: fields kept current. Tickets and conversations attach to the right contact and account in Close, so sales sees open issues before the next call.
