Why teams connect Asana and Quip
Stop re-entering the same information in Asana and Quip: Stacksync keeps the records they share consistent in real time, in both directions.
Two tools in the daily stack often hold overlapping information: the same people, the same companies, or the same pieces of work, described twice. The tools do different jobs, so consolidating is not the answer; the overlap just needs to stop drifting.
Stacksync syncs Sections, Custom fields, Stories, Users in Asana with Documents, Spreadsheets, Folders, Messages in Quip in real time. You choose which records overlap, map the fields that should match, and pick a direction or let changes flow both ways. From then on, an update made in either tool is reflected in the other within seconds, without exports or copy-paste.
Because the sync is field-level, each tool keeps its own extras; only the shared data is held in agreement.
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 Write status rows from an operational database into a shared Quip Spreadsheet with update_spreadsheet_row so ops and deal-desk teams see live figures in-document.
- 04 Read Messages from project threads into a data store to analyze collaboration activity and comment volume per document.
Common sync patterns
Where one tool produces events: mirror them in the other
Payments, replies, messages, or tickets created in one tool can create or update matching records in the other, keeping context in one place.
Where Quip is where the team documents or plans: keep its data fed
Information that originates in Asana stays current in Quip instead of going stale after a one-time paste.
Handoffs between teams
When work started in one tool continues in the other, the shared fields travel with it automatically.
What you can sync between Asana and Quip
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 | Quip 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 Member records read individually or via contacts; get_authenticated_user identifies the token owner. Used read-only for directory-style syncs. | Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions. | |
| Sections Ordered groupings of Tasks within a project; synced as a grouping attribute or category field on the row. | Spreadsheets Live-spreadsheet threads; rows and cells are read and written through add_to_spreadsheet and update_spreadsheet_row helpers on the same thread endpoints. | Sections is specific to Asana and Spreadsheets to Quip — 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. | Folders Private, Shared, and Group containers that organize threads; membership is added or removed via the folders endpoints for access control. | Custom fields is specific to Asana and Folders to Quip — 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. | Messages Comments and chat posts on a thread; the most recent are read with get_messages and new ones written with new_message. | Stories is specific to Asana and Messages to Quip — 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). | Blobs Images and file attachments stored per thread; downloaded with get_blob and uploaded with put_blob against a specific thread ID. | Portfolios is specific to Asana and Blobs to Quip — 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. | Documents Editable rich-text threads addressed by ID; created and updated over REST via HTML or Markdown sections, with an updated_usec timestamp used to detect edits. | Tags is specific to Asana and Documents to Quip — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Asana and Quip
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 Quip 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 Quip through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Quip Asana Interval-based propagation
DetectionStacksync polls Quip for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on thread updated_usec timestamps — get_recent_threads paginates by max_updated_usec.
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.
- Quip: Automation API allows roughly 50 requests per minute per access token; exceeding it returns HTTP 503, and responses carry X-RateLimit headers.

FAQ
Asana and Quip integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Asana and Quip: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Asana's Users and Sections), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
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. Quip: REST (v1 Automation API). Authentication: OAuth 2.0 bearer tokens (RFC 6749/6750) or a Personal Access Token; domain admins can pre-approve apps for domain-wide authentication. Stacksync manages authentication, retries, and rate limits on both sides.
-
Asana: The API is REST/JSON with offset-token pagination (limit and offset params), so large projects are read page by page rather than in one call. Quip: Documents and spreadsheets are both represented as threads; there is no separate object type, so sync logic keys everything on thread ID. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Asana and Quip without custom code.
-
Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified with HIPAA BAA support. Data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means Asana and Quip records are not retained after a sync operation.
-
Stacksync pricing is usage-based and starts at $1,000/month, including the managed Asana and Quip connectors, real-time two-way sync, monitoring, and support. That replaces building and maintaining a custom Asana–Quip integration in-house.
-
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both Asana and Quip. The connectors handle authentication, schema detection, rate limits, and retries; you configure the sync, and Stacksync operates it.
