Practical ways you can use Asana and GitHub
Sync completed tasks in Asana to GitHub issues.
When a task is marked as completed in Asana, Zapier automatically creates a new issue in GitHub with the relevant task details. This helps engineers track progress and ensure completed tasks related to development work are logged in their repository, improving collaboration and organization.
Engineering
Create Asana tasks from new GitHub issues.
When a new issue is created in a GitHub repository, Zapier automatically generates a corresponding task in Asana. This workflow keeps IT teams updated on development requests and assigns tasks directly in their project management tool, streamlining communication and prioritization.
IT
Update Asana tasks when GitHub pull requests are created.
When a pull request is created in GitHub, Zapier updates the corresponding Asana task, adding a comment or marking it as updated. This ensures project managers stay informed about code progress and alignment with project timelines, helping to avoid delays.

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Asana and GitHub
How do I integrate Asana with GitHub?
To integrate Asana with GitHub, you can use Zapier to automate actions. Once you set up the integration, you can create triggers in Asana that automatically generate tasks based on specific GitHub events like a pull request or issue being created.
What are some common triggers for Asana and GitHub integration?
Common triggers include a new task in Asana which could start an action to update an issue in GitHub or vice versa, like when a new issue is created in GitHub and automatically creates a matching task in Asana.
Can I customize actions between Asana and GitHub?
Yes, you can customize actions such as closing a GitHub issue when an Asana task is completed or updating task status when there is a new commit in the relevant repository on GitHub.
Is it possible to sync only specific projects from Asana with certain repositories in GitHub?
Yes, during the setup of the integration, you have the option to filter and select specific projects from Asana and match them with corresponding repositories in GitHub that you'd like to sync.
What should I do if my tasks are not syncing correctly between Asana and GitHub?
First, check your Zap configuration for errors or misconfigurations. Ensure that your triggers are set properly and that both accounts are connected without issues. If problems persist, contact support for assistance.
Does the integration support comments synchronization between tasks and issues?
Currently, comment synchronization between tasks in Asana and issues in GitHub isn't supported directly. However, updates or changes can trigger notifications through custom automations.
Are there any limits on how many tasks or issues can be integrated at once?
There are generally no strict limits on the number of tasks or issues you can integrate; however, intense sync operations may lead to throttling based on API limits from either platform.
