Why teams connect Asana and InterSystems IRIS
Mirror Asana's data into InterSystems IRIS so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.
Engineers integrate with tools like Asana through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in InterSystems IRIS.
Stacksync mirrors Tasks, Projects, Sections, Custom fields from Asana into Views, Schemas, Persistent Classes, Globals in InterSystems IRIS and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Asana, so the tool and the database never disagree.
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 Write enriched or corrected records from SaaS apps back into IRIS tables for on-platform processing
- 04 Replicate IRIS tables to Postgres so application teams can build against a familiar database
Common sync patterns
Automate Asana from your codebase
Write to the synced tables in InterSystems IRIS and Stacksync propagates the change into Asana, replacing custom integration code.
React to changes as they happen
Updates in Asana arrive as row changes in InterSystems IRIS, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.
One integration pattern for the whole stack
Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.
What you can sync between Asana and InterSystems IRIS
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 | InterSystems IRIS objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Users Members of a workspace or organization referenced by assignee and follower fields; read to resolve GIDs to names and emails. | Stored Procedures Server-side logic callable over SQL supports controlled writes and transformations. | Users is specific to Asana and Stored Procedures to InterSystems IRIS — 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). | Tables Relational projections of stored data are the primary read/write surface for SQL-based syncs. | Portfolios is specific to Asana and Tables to InterSystems IRIS — 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. | Views SQL views expose curated slices of data for outbound replication. | Tags is specific to Asana and Views to InterSystems IRIS — 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. | Schemas Schema organization scopes which tables a sync connection can see. | Teams / Workspaces is specific to Asana and Schemas to InterSystems IRIS — 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. | Persistent Classes Object-model classes project to tables, so class data is reachable through SQL. | Tasks is specific to Asana and Persistent Classes to InterSystems IRIS — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| 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. | Globals The underlying multidimensional storage; typically accessed indirectly via SQL or objects in syncs. | Projects is specific to Asana and Globals to InterSystems IRIS — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Asana and InterSystems IRIS
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 InterSystems IRIS 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 applied to InterSystems IRIS as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.
InterSystems IRIS Asana Interval-based propagation
DetectionStacksync polls InterSystems IRIS for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling (timestamp or query-based).
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.
- InterSystems IRIS: Constrained by database resources rather than published API rate limits.

FAQ
Asana and InterSystems IRIS integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Asana and InterSystems IRIS: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Asana's Users and Portfolios), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
On the Asana side: Tasks, Projects, Sections, Custom fields, plus custom fields where Asana exposes them. On the InterSystems IRIS side: Views, Schemas, Persistent Classes, Globals. 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 InterSystems IRIS: Automate Asana from your codebase; React to changes as they happen; One integration pattern for the whole stack. Write to the synced tables in InterSystems IRIS and Stacksync propagates the change into Asana, replacing custom integration code.
-
Asana: REST API (app.asana.com/api/1.0, JSON responses), plus resource-scoped Webhooks and a sync-token Events API. Authentication: OAuth 2.0 for multi-user apps, Personal Access Tokens (PATs) for single-account use and testing, and organization-scoped Service Accounts (Enterprise) for admin-level access. InterSystems IRIS: SQL over JDBC/ODBC, plus object and REST access layers. Authentication: Database credentials. Stacksync manages authentication, retries, and rate limits on both sides.
-
Asana: Subtasks are themselves Tasks with a parent reference, so a task tree resolves through parent/child links rather than one flat table. InterSystems IRIS: Data is partitioned by namespaces mapped to databases, so a sync connection's namespace determines exactly which tables are visible. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Asana and InterSystems IRIS without custom code.
