How to set up Asana integrations

Setting up and taking advantage of all of Asana’s integrations is simple.

Before you start, be sure you’re an admin, which is needed to enable these integrations. Once you have admin privileges, click the gear icon from the top right of the screen and open the company settings tab. From there, select “Integrations”.

Then, enable Asana integration from the list of integrations.  

You’ll then want to set up conversations for access after a task has been closed or completed. Some users may have to reopen the conversation after it’s been completed—this is simple and can be done by clicking the “Sign into Asana” button.

Click “Save” to complete the Asana integration process. Once this is complete, you’ll have access to the long list of integrations Asana offers.
