How to Integrate Asana with monday.com (Step-by-Step Guide)
If your team uses Asana for task management and monday.com for workflows or reporting, you’ve probably run into the same issue: keeping everything in sync. In this guide, you’ll learn how to integrate Asana with monday.com, the best tools to do it, and how to automate your workflows without manual updates.
Why Integrate Asana with monday.com?
While both platforms are powerful, they often live in separate silos. That leads to:
- Duplicate work across tools
- Missed updates between teams
- Lack of visibility into project progress
With an integration, you can:
- Sync tasks between Asana and monday.com
- Keep teams aligned across tools
- Automate task creation and updates
- Centralize reporting in one place
Integration Methods (Compared)
There are three main ways to connect Asana and monday.com:
1. Native Integration
- ⚠ Limited capabilities
- · Basic automation only
- · Not suitable for complex workflows
2. Third-Party Tools (Zapier, Make)
- ✓ Easy to start
- ✗ Limited flexibility
- ✗ Task-based pricing can scale quickly
- ✗ Delays in syncing
3. Dedicated monday.com Integration App — Best Option
- ✓ Built for deeper workflows
- ✓ Real-time syncing
- ✓ Advanced automation logic (supports actions in Asana based on monday.com triggers and vice versa)
- ✓ Scales with your team
This is the recommended approach for most teams.
Step-by-Step: Connect Asana to monday.com
1Install the Integration App
- Go to the monday.com Marketplace
- Search for “Asana integration Plus”
- Install the app and follow the prompts
2Add a Trigger in Your Workflow
Start new workflow and add Asana Integration Plus trigger. You can find the trigger by searching for it in the triggers section.
3Connect Your Asana Account
- The first time you will configure a trigger or action, you will be asked to authenticate your Asana account
- Grant access to projects and tasks
4Choose the account, workspace and project to Sync
Configure the trigger with your account, workspace and project. You will be asked to authorize the app and connect your Asana account if you haven t done it already.
5Add an Action in Your Workflow
After you configured the trigger, you can add the action to your workflow. You can find the action by searching for it in the actions section. Once you add the action, you will have to choose a board and also choose the Asana Task ID from the trigger.
The Asana Task ID field in the action should be set from the trigger. This will ensure that the action is performed on the same task that triggered the workflow. This value will be used to sync the updates from Asana.
6Map Fields Between Platforms
After you choose the board, you can map the columns with the Asana specific fields. The values from these fields will be used when creating your items. Match Asana fields to monday.com columns:
| Asana Field | monday.com Column |
|---|---|
| Task Name | Name column |
| Assignee | People column |
| Due Date | Date column |
| Status | Status column |
💡 Clean mapping = better automation later.
7Now your workflow is ready to be used!
You can update or modify it to fit your needs. For example, you can add more actions to the workflow and configure them to perform different operations in Asana based on the same trigger.
Here are some examples of what you can do:
- In this Asana workspace, when a task is added to this project → create item in this monday.com board and sync all future changes from Asana.
- When columns changes → create task in this workspace, in this project
- In this Asana workspace, when a task is completed in this project → notify team
8Test Your Integration
- Create a test task in Asana
- Verify it appears correctly in monday.com
- Confirm updates sync properly
Powerful Use Cases

Asana vs monday.com: Why Use Both?
Instead of choosing one, many teams use both strategically:
| Use Case | Best Tool |
|---|---|
| Task management | Asana |
| Workflow automation | monday.com |
| Reporting & dashboards | monday.com |
| Team collaboration | Both |
Integration lets each tool do what it does best.
Why Not Just Use Zapier?
Zapier works—but it has limitations:
- Task-based pricing adds up quickly
- Limited logic for complex workflows
- Slower syncing
- Harder to manage at scale
A dedicated integration is more reliable and cost-effective long-term.
Best Practices
To get the most out of your Asana–monday.com integration:
- Keep workflows simple at first
- Use consistent naming conventions
- Avoid syncing unnecessary tasks
- Test automations before rollout
- Build dashboards early
