Why teams connect Asana and Infor M3

Bridge the tools people work in and the system the business runs on: real-time, two-way sync between Asana and Infor M3.

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 Bridging them by hand, or by nightly file transfer, leaves each side out of date for hours at a time.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 Purchase Orders, Manufacturing Orders, Inventory Balances, Invoices in Infor M3 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 Keep supplier and purchase order data aligned between M3 and procurement tools
  • 04 Consolidate M3 transactional data into an analytics database for cross-plant reporting

Common sync patterns

Where Infor M3 is the HR or people system of record

Worker and organization data from Infor M3 stays current in Asana, so the tools people use daily reflect the org as it actually is.

Master data corrections travel

Where Asana faces customers and Infor M3 carries account records

Order, invoice, or account status from Infor M3 appears alongside the customer in Asana, so front-line teams answer from live data.

How changes propagate between Asana and Infor M3

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 Infor M3 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 Infor M3 through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Infor M3 Asana Sub-second propagation

DetectionInfor M3 notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Event publishing through Infor ION (Business Object Documents), configured in ION, or scheduled polling of API endpoints.

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.
  • Infor M3: Subject to Infor ION API gateway throttling policies.
