Why teams connect Asana and Pigment

Connect the financial records in Pigment with the work happening in Asana, so both stay current without exports or copy-paste.

Pigment holds the financial truth: who the customers are, what they were billed, what they paid. Asana is where part of the day-to-day work happens, and that work often involves the same customers and transactions. Without a live connection, the two drift apart, and people end up answering questions from stale copies.

Stacksync keeps Tables, Scenarios, Data imports, Users and permissions in Pigment and Teams / Workspaces, Tasks, Projects, Sections in Asana in sync, bi-directionally and in real time. Whatever records Asana keeps and whatever events it produces, the overlap with Pigment is mapped field by field, and a change on either side shows up on the other within seconds.

There is no middleware to build, no API rate limits to babysit, and no nightly job that leaves the morning running on yesterday's data.

Common use cases

  • 01 Push CRM pipeline data (deals, stages, amounts) into Pigment for revenue and capacity planning.
  • 02 Export approved budgets and forecasts back to a warehouse or Postgres for downstream reporting.
  • 03 Push support tickets or intake requests from an operational database into Asana Tasks, then read completion and status Custom fields back when work finishes.
  • 04 Sync Stories and completion changes from Asana into a database so downstream dashboards and tools react to project progress in near real time.

Common sync patterns

Where Asana tracks people or companies: one identity

A customer's details updated in either system update the other, so finance and the rest of the business stop maintaining two versions of the same customer.

Where Asana handles customer conversations: billing context in view

Front-line teams see invoice and payment status from Pigment next to the customer they are helping, without logging into the finance system.

Where Asana collects payments or triggers charges: events land in Pigment

Payment and charge activity flows into Pigment as it happens, so the books reflect reality without manual reconciliation.

What you can sync between Asana and Pigment

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 Pigment objects How this pairing syncs
Stories Comments and activity entries on a Task; read out for history and reporting or written back as comments. Applications Planning models organized by domain such as finance, sales, or workforce Stories is specific to Asana and Applications to Pigment — 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. Metrics Multidimensional values holding plans and actuals; the main target for inbound data Users is specific to Asana and Metrics to Pigment — 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). Dimension lists Master data like accounts, products, or employees that metrics are sliced by Portfolios is specific to Asana and Dimension lists to Pigment — 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. Tables Row-based transactional data loaded into models from source systems Tags is specific to Asana and Tables to Pigment — 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. Scenarios Versions such as budget, forecast, and actuals that give exported figures their context Teams / Workspaces is specific to Asana and Scenarios to Pigment — 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. Data imports Scheduled loads that bring actuals from ERPs, CRMs, and HRIS into the model Tasks is specific to Asana and Data imports to Pigment — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Asana and Pigment

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

Pigment Asana Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Pigment for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No change feed.

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.
  • Pigment: Subject to the platform's API rate limits.
