Why teams connect Asana and Datadog
Connect the tickets, records, and events in Asana to the systems engineering runs in Datadog, kept current in real time and in both directions.
Asana is where customer-facing and operational work happens: the tickets, conversations, contacts, and records a team touches every day. Datadog is where engineering runs the systems behind that work — the issue trackers, message brokers, directories, and monitors that keep services moving. The same items, people, and events matter to both, and when the only link between them is a manual hand-off or an overnight export, each side acts on a stale copy of what the other already knows.
Stacksync syncs Custom fields, Stories, Users, Portfolios in Asana with Logs, Events, Dashboards, Metrics in Datadog field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync maps the overlap, resolves conflicts by rules you set, and keeps every copy current, with no middleware to build and no API limits to babysit.
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 Provision and update Datadog Monitors from a config database or Git so alert definitions stay consistent across teams and environments.
- 04 Publish deploy and pipeline Events, and submit custom Metrics, into Datadog from CI/CD or a data pipeline to enrich dashboards and correlation.
Common sync patterns
Where Datadog moves messages between services: activity lands on the stream
Records created or changed in Asana publish to the queue or topic in Datadog as they happen, so downstream services react to real events rather than polling for them.
Where Datadog is the directory or identity source: one set of users
People and accounts in Asana stay matched to the users in Datadog, so access, provisioning, and org changes propagate instead of being keyed in twice.
Where Datadog watches operations: live volumes for visibility
Open items, throughput, and error counts from Asana replicate into Datadog, so the operational view reflects what is actually happening in the business.
What you can sync between Asana and Datadog
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 | Datadog objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stories Comments and activity entries on a Task; read out for history and reporting or written back as comments. | Dashboards Dashboard definitions and widgets via the v1 Dashboards API with full CRUD; exported for backup and audit, or created and updated programmatically from a source of truth. | Stories is specific to Asana and Dashboards to Datadog — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Users Members of a workspace or organization referenced by assignee and follower fields; read to resolve GIDs to names and emails. | Metrics Time-series metrics queried in aggregate windows through the query API and submitted via POST /api/v1/series; individual raw points cannot be extracted beyond retention. | Users is specific to Asana and Metrics to Datadog — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Portfolios Collections of Projects for program-level rollup; read for cross-project status and progress reporting (Business and Enterprise). | Incidents Incident records from the v2 Incidents API with full CRUD, including status and timeline fields; landed in a database for MTTR reporting or created and updated from an external incident workflow. | Portfolios is specific to Asana and Incidents to Datadog — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Tags Labels applied across Tasks; synced as a many-to-many attribute for filtering and categorization. | Service Level Objectives SLO definitions and status history via the v1 SLO API with full CRUD; read out for reliability and error-budget reporting, or provisioned and updated from a reliability config. | Tags is specific to Asana and Service Level Objectives to Datadog — 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. | Hosts Infrastructure host inventory with tags and metadata from the v1 host list API; loaded into a CMDB or warehouse for asset tracking, and hosts can be muted or unmuted via the API. | Teams / Workspaces is specific to Asana and Hosts to Datadog — 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. | Monitors Alert definitions with query, thresholds, and current state via the v1 Monitors API, which supports full create, update, and delete; Stacksync reads alert state into a warehouse or provisions and updates monitors from a config source. | Tasks is specific to Asana and Monitors to Datadog — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Asana and Datadog
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 Datadog 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 Datadog through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Datadog Asana Sub-second propagation
DetectionDatadog notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Polling with time-windowed search queries on Logs and Events (timestamp cursor).
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.
- Datadog: Per-endpoint limits return HTTP 429 with X-RateLimit-Limit/-Remaining/-Period/-Reset headers. Log ingestion and metric submission are not rate limited; search endpoints such as Logs and Events queries carry quotas that Datadog Support can raise.

FAQ
Asana and Datadog integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Asana and Datadog: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Asana's Stories and Users), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both Asana and Datadog. 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 Datadog: Polling with time-windowed search queries on Logs and Events (timestamp cursor); monitor alerts can also push via the Webhooks notification integration. No modified-date CDC on mutable objects. Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
-
On the Asana side: Custom fields, Stories, Users, Portfolios, plus custom fields where Asana exposes them. On the Datadog side: Logs, Events, Dashboards, Metrics. 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 Datadog: Where Datadog moves messages between services: activity lands on the stream; Where Datadog is the directory or identity source: one set of users; Where Datadog watches operations: live volumes for visibility. Records created or changed in Asana publish to the queue or topic in Datadog as they happen, so downstream services react to real events rather than polling for them.
