Why teams connect Asana and Newrelic

Connect the tickets, records, and events in Asana to the systems engineering runs in Newrelic, kept current in real time and in both directions.

Asana is where customer-facing and operational work happens: the tickets, conversations, contacts, and records a team touches every day. Newrelic is where engineering runs the systems behind that work — the issue trackers, message brokers, directories, and monitors that keep services moving. The same items, people, and events matter to both, and when the only link between them is a manual hand-off or an overnight export, each side acts on a stale copy of what the other already knows.

Stacksync syncs Tasks, Projects, Sections, Custom fields in Asana with Alert Policies & Conditions, NRQL Query Results, Entities, Workloads in Newrelic field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync maps the overlap, resolves conflicts by rules you set, and keeps every copy current, with no middleware to build and no API limits to babysit.

Common use cases

  • 01 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.
  • 02 Write closed deals or new orders from a CRM or ERP into Asana Tasks to launch delivery, onboarding, or fulfillment projects automatically.
  • 03 Record deployment and change markers from CI/CD through NerdGraph change tracking to correlate releases with performance and error-rate shifts.
  • 04 Sync the Entity catalog into a CMDB or warehouse for asset inventory, and add or replace entity Tags to keep ownership and environment metadata current.

Common sync patterns

Where Newrelic moves messages between services: activity lands on the stream

Records created or changed in Asana publish to the queue or topic in Newrelic as they happen, so downstream services react to real events rather than polling for them.

Where Newrelic is the directory or identity source: one set of users

People and accounts in Asana stay matched to the users in Newrelic, so access, provisioning, and org changes propagate instead of being keyed in twice.

Where Newrelic watches operations: live volumes for visibility

Open items, throughput, and error counts from Asana replicate into Newrelic, so the operational view reflects what is actually happening in the business.

What you can sync between Asana and Newrelic

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 Newrelic objects How this pairing syncs
Portfolios Collections of Projects for program-level rollup; read for cross-project status and progress reporting (Business and Enterprise). NRQL Query Results Telemetry events, metrics, logs, and spans queried through NerdGraph's nrql field (or the legacy Insights query API) over time windows; read-only and bounded by data retention, commonly streamed into a warehouse for long-term analysis. Portfolios is specific to Asana and NRQL Query Results to Newrelic — 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. Entities The entity catalog of APM applications, hosts, services, and monitors searched via NerdGraph entitySearch; read for inventory, with tags added or replaced through taggingAddTagsToEntity so ownership and environment metadata stay in sync. Tags is specific to Asana and Entities to Newrelic — 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. Workloads Workload groupings of related entities via NerdGraph workloadCreate/workloadUpdate/workloadDelete with full CRUD; read for status rollups or provisioned from a service catalog to keep team-level views current. Teams / Workspaces is specific to Asana and Workloads to Newrelic — 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. Synthetics Monitors Synthetic uptime and scripted browser checks managed through NerdGraph synthetics mutations (create, update, delete); monitor results are read via NRQL for availability and latency reporting. Tasks is specific to Asana and Synthetics Monitors to Newrelic — 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. Custom Events Custom events posted write-only to the Event API on insights-collector with a License/Ingest key; business or pipeline events pushed into New Relic to enrich dashboards, then queried back out with NRQL. Projects is specific to Asana and Custom Events to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sections Ordered groupings of Tasks within a project; synced as a grouping attribute or category field on the row. Change Tracking (Deployments) Deployment and change markers recorded through NerdGraph changeTrackingCreateDeployment; written from CI/CD to annotate charts, and read back via NRQL on the Deployment event for release correlation. Sections is specific to Asana and Change Tracking (Deployments) to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Asana and Newrelic

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

Newrelic Asana Sub-second propagation

DetectionNewrelic notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. NRQL polling over timestamp windows for telemetry (events, metrics, logs, spans).

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.
  • Newrelic: NerdGraph allows 25 concurrent requests per user and returns HTTP 429 when exceeded; NRQL run via APIs is capped at 3,000 queries per account per minute with a 5-second default timeout and about 5,000 data points per response. The Event API accepts 1MB per POST and 100,000 POSTs per minute per account.

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
Change detection
Resource-scoped webhooks (established with an X-Hook-Secret handshake) POST events on create, change, and delete; the sync-token Events API returns incremental changes on a task or project when webhooks are not used

Newrelic

Integration surface
NerdGraph (GraphQL) plus REST data-ingest APIs (Event, Metric, Log, Trace) and the legacy REST API v2
Authentication
User API key (prefixed NRAK-) sent in the API-Key header for NerdGraph queries and mutations; the data-ingest APIs (Event, Metric, Log) use a License/Ingest key in the Api-Key header. Keys, endpoints, and data are region-scoped (US, EU, JP).
Change detection
NRQL polling over timestamp windows for telemetry (events, metrics, logs, spans); config objects such as dashboards, alert policies, and workloads carry no modified-date and are diffed on each run. Alert workflows can push outbound webhook notifications for near-real-time alerting. No CDC feed.
