Why teams connect Asana and PagerDuty

Connect the tickets, records, and events in Asana to the systems engineering runs in PagerDuty, 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. PagerDuty 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 Custom fields, Stories, Users, Portfolios in Asana with Escalation Policies, On-Calls, Notes and Log Entries, Incidents in PagerDuty 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 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 Provision and deactivate Users and Team memberships two-way from an HRIS or identity provider so the on-call roster matches the current org.
  • 04 Write Schedules and Escalation Policies from a workforce tool or source-of-truth spreadsheet so rotations and overrides stay consistent across teams.

Common sync patterns

One shared record across both systems

Where both systems keep records for the same contacts, items, or users, a correction in either updates the other, ending dual maintenance and keeping IDs aligned for every other flow.

Where PagerDuty tracks engineering work: requests become issues

A ticket or request raised in Asana opens or updates a matching issue in PagerDuty, and status, comments, and resolution flow back, so support and engineering work the same item instead of retyping it.

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

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

What you can sync between Asana and PagerDuty

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 PagerDuty 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. Users Responders with contact methods and notification rules; provisioned and updated two-way to keep the on-call roster aligned with an HRIS or identity provider. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Teams / Workspaces Organizational containers that hold projects and members; used to scope which projects a given sync covers. Teams Groupings of users, services, and escalation policies; synced two-way so membership mirrors org structure from an IdP or HRIS. Teams / Workspaces is specific to Asana and Teams to PagerDuty — 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. Schedules On-call rotations built from layers and overrides; read and written so calendar or workforce tools can drive who is on call. Tasks is specific to Asana and Schedules to PagerDuty — 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. Escalation Policies Ordered rules routing incidents to users and schedules; read and written two-way to codify paging logic from a source of truth. Projects is specific to Asana and Escalation Policies to PagerDuty — 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. On-Calls Computed view of who is on call now, derived from schedules and escalation policies; read-only, ideal for pushing current responders into other systems. Sections is specific to Asana and On-Calls to PagerDuty — 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. Notes and Log Entries Notes are writable to append context to an incident; log entries are a read-only record of every action taken on that incident. Custom fields is specific to Asana and Notes and Log Entries to PagerDuty — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Asana and PagerDuty

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

PagerDuty Asana Sub-second propagation

DetectionPagerDuty notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. V3 webhook subscriptions push incident.* and service.* events (triggered, acknowledged, escalated, resolved, created, updated).

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.
  • PagerDuty: REST API allows 960 requests per minute per token and returns HTTP 429 when exceeded; the Events API is rate-limited separately per integration key.
