Asana connector

Asana integration for databases, warehouses and BI tools

Work management for projects, tasks, and cross-team delivery. Datrise captures Asana entities such as projects, tasks, sections, custom fields, and assignment timelines, then lands normalized and typed models for warehouse reporting, attribution, and AI workflows.

The Asana API (v1.0) authenticates with OAuth 2.0, personal access token, service account, incremental runs key on modified_since, and Asana caps calls at 150 requests/minute on free tier, 1,500 requests/minute on paid tiers, with separate concurrency caps of 50 simultaneous GETs and 15 simultaneous writes, plus a cost-based quota for expensive multi-object queries.

Of the 5 objects, 5 sync as upserts keyed on the primary key and 0 as append-only streams, so each incremental run moves only what changed since the last watermark. Every object lands in its own table (for example `asana_projects`) with a schema derived from the Asana API rather than a flattened CSV, in any of the 43 supported destinations.

What Asana data Datrise extracts

Each object lands in its own typed table. Sync mode is derived from the object: history-style objects append, everything else upserts.

Object	Landing table	Sync mode
projects	asana_projects	Upsert by primary key, incremental on updated-at
tasks	asana_tasks	Upsert by primary key, incremental on updated-at
sections	asana_sections	Upsert by primary key, incremental on updated-at
custom fields	asana_custom_fields	Upsert by primary key, incremental on updated-at
assignment timelines	asana_assignment_timelines	Upsert by primary key, incremental on updated-at

Asana API: setup facts for the connector

Verified against the vendor documentation on 2026-09-02. Unknown values are left blank rather than guessed.

API	Asana API (v1.0)
Authentication	OAuth 2.0, personal access token, service account — Personal access tokens suit single-user scripts, Service Accounts (Enterprise tier) grant org-wide access for integrations, and OAuth 2.0/OIDC is required when multiple end users sign in through your app.
Pagination	offset — List endpoints return a `next_page.offset` token capped at `limit=100` per page (default 20); unpaginated collection endpoints silently truncate around 1,000 objects.
Rate limit	150 requests/minute on free tier, 1,500 requests/minute on paid tiers, with separate concurrency caps of 50 simultaneous GETs and 15 simultaneous writes, plus a cost-based quota for expensive multi-object queries
Incremental cursor	modified_since — `GET /tasks` (and similar collection endpoints) accepts a `modified_since` ISO-8601 timestamp, but the more reliable mechanism for full change tracking is the Events API's opaque sync token rather than this filter.
Webhooks	Yes — Webhooks
Bulk export	No
Deletes detectable	Yes — The Events API returns `action: "deleted"` entries for removed resources, but only for events still inside the 24-hour retention window.

Official API reference

What bites when replicating Asana

The Events API's sync token expires after 24 hours (sooner under load), and a stale token forces a `412 Precondition Failed` plus a full resync rather than a resumable diff.
Collection endpoints cap pages at `limit=100`, and calling them without pagination at all silently truncates around 1,000 objects instead of erroring, which can under-report large projects.
The Events API delivers `action: "deleted"` records but is documented as `at most once`, so a connector needs periodic full-list polling as a backstop against dropped delete events.
The per-minute quota is cost-based, not a flat request count: deeply nested or wide-field queries consume more of the 150 (free) or 1,500 (paid) requests/minute budget than a simple list call, so identical-looking requests can hit `429` at different volumes.

Asana connector FAQ

What Asana data does the connector extract?: 5 objects: projects, tasks, sections, custom fields and assignment timelines. Each lands in its own table with types preserved; history-style objects (0) load as append-only streams.
Is the Asana integration incremental?: Yes. After the initial full load, every run reads only records changed since the last watermark (updated-at or event timestamp) and applies an upsert or an append depending on the object.
Where can I load Asana data?: Into 43 destinations: relational databases, cloud warehouses, data lakes, spreadsheets and BI tools. Each Asana → destination pair has its own page with the object-to-table mapping.
