Why teams connect Asana and Folk CRM
Sync what happens in Asana with the customer records in Folk CRM, 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 Teams / Workspaces, Tasks, Projects, Sections in Asana to Groups, Custom fields, Notes, Reminders in Folk CRM with bi-directional, real-time sync. Activity and record changes in Asana update the matching contact or account in Folk CRM, and CRM data flows the other way wherever Asana can store and use it.
Common use cases
- 01 Mirror Projects, Sections, and Portfolios into a warehouse for cross-team reporting on status, timelines, and workload without CSV exports.
- 02 Push support tickets or intake requests from an operational database into Asana Tasks, then read completion and status Custom fields back when work finishes.
- 03 Sync folk people and companies with a marketing or outbound tool so outreach lists stay current.
- 04 Push enriched contact data from a data warehouse into folk custom fields.
Common sync patterns
Where Asana supplies contact or company data
Enriched fields land directly on records in Folk CRM, and refreshes keep them from going stale.
Where Asana can store CRM context: fields kept current
Owner, lifecycle stage, or account details from Folk CRM sync into Asana, so people working there have the context without switching tools.
Where Asana handles support or shared inboxes
Tickets and conversations attach to the right contact and account in Folk CRM, so sales sees open issues before the next call.
What you can sync between Asana and Folk CRM
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 | Folk CRM objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 Group-scoped attributes that receive enriched or computed values from external systems. | Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions. | |
| Sections Ordered groupings of Tasks within a project; synced as a grouping attribute or category field on the row. | Groups Shared workspaces that organize contacts; group membership is often the field integrations act on. | Sections is specific to Asana and Groups to Folk CRM — 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. | Notes Free-text context attached to people and companies, readable for reporting. | Stories is specific to Asana and Notes to Folk CRM — 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. | Reminders Follow-up items that can be created from external triggers. | Users is specific to Asana and Reminders to Folk CRM — 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). | People Contact records; the primary entity synced with outreach and enrichment tools. | Portfolios is specific to Asana and People to Folk CRM — 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. | Companies Organization records linked to people and kept aligned with billing or CS systems. | Tags is specific to Asana and Companies to Folk CRM — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Asana and Folk CRM
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 Folk CRM 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 Folk CRM through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Folk CRM Asana Sub-second propagation
DetectionFolk CRM notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook subscriptions for record events, with polling of list endpoints 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.
- Folk CRM: Subject to the platform's API rate limits.
