Why teams connect Asana and Neo4j

Mirror Asana's data into Neo4j 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 Neo4j.

Stacksync mirrors Users, Portfolios, Tags, Teams / Workspaces from Asana into Relationships, Properties, Labels, Indexes & Constraints in Neo4j 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 Sync Stories and completion changes from Asana into a database so downstream dashboards and tools react to project progress in near real time.
  • 02 Two-way sync of Tasks and their Custom fields between an Asana project and Postgres so ops teams work in SQL while project owners stay in Asana.
  • 03 Keep a customer-360 graph continuously updated from ERP, CRM, and support sources.
  • 04 Mirror CRM accounts and contacts into a graph to model buying-group and referral relationships.

Common sync patterns

Automate Asana from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in Neo4j 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 Neo4j, 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 Neo4j

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 Neo4j objects How this pairing syncs
Sections Ordered groupings of Tasks within a project; synced as a grouping attribute or category field on the row. Users & Roles Security principals controlling what an integration credential can query or modify. Sections is specific to Asana and Users & Roles to Neo4j — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Nodes Entity records (customers, products, accounts) written from source systems as labeled nodes. Custom fields is specific to Asana and Nodes to Neo4j — 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. Relationships Typed, directed edges that carry the connections syncs exist to model. Stories is specific to Asana and Relationships to Neo4j — 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. Properties Key-value attributes on both nodes and relationships, mapped from source fields. Users is specific to Asana and Properties to Neo4j — 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). Labels Node type markers used to map source tables or objects onto the graph. Portfolios is specific to Asana and Labels to Neo4j — 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. Indexes & Constraints Uniqueness constraints and indexes that make MERGE-based upserts reliable and fast. Tags is specific to Asana and Indexes & Constraints to Neo4j — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Asana and Neo4j

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 Neo4j 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 Neo4j through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Neo4j Asana Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Neo4j are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Neo4j Change Data Capture on Enterprise and Aura streams graph changes.

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.
