Why teams connect Asana and Extensiv (3PL Central)

Bridge the tools people work in and the system the business runs on: real-time, two-way sync between Asana and Extensiv (3PL Central).

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 Bridging them by hand, or by nightly file transfer, leaves each side out of date for hours at a time.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 Tags, Teams / Workspaces, Tasks, Projects in Asana with Orders, Receivers, Shipments, Warehouses in Extensiv (3PL Central) 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 Write closed deals or new orders from a CRM or ERP into Asana Tasks to launch delivery, onboarding, or fulfillment projects automatically.
  • 02 Mirror Projects, Sections, and Portfolios into a warehouse for cross-team reporting on status, timelines, and workload without CSV exports.
  • 03 Sync commerce or ERP orders into 3PL Central for fulfillment, and sync shipment confirmations with tracking numbers back.
  • 04 Keep item masters aligned between a merchant's ERP and the 3PL warehouse so receiving and picking use consistent SKUs.

How changes propagate between Asana and Extensiv (3PL Central)

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 Extensiv (3PL Central) 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 Extensiv (3PL Central) through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Extensiv (3PL Central) Asana Sub-second propagation

DetectionExtensiv (3PL Central) notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook events for order, receipt, item, and inventory changes, with polling on modified-date filters 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.
  • Extensiv (3PL Central): Subject to the platform's API rate limits; batch endpoints reduce call volume for order and inventory syncs.
