GitHub Asana Integration to Link Code and Tasks

Automatically sync GitHub commits, PRs, and issues with Asana tasks so engineering and product teams stay aligned.

The github asana integration connects engineering work in GitHub with project tracking in Asana. With github asana sync, status updates happen automatically and code to task tracking becomes a first-class workflow.

Close the Dev-PM Gap

GitHub activity automatically updates Asana tasks, so PMs see real progress without asking engineers.

Reduce Context Switching

Engineers stay in GitHub while task tracking happens in Asana automatically.

Accurate Sprint Tracking

Pull request merges and branch closures reflect instantly in Asana.

What You Can Automate

Create Asana Tasks from GitHub Issues

New GitHub issues automatically generate corresponding Asana tasks in the correct project and section.

Mark Tasks Done on PR Merge

When a GitHub pull request is merged, the linked Asana task is automatically marked complete.

Assign Reviewers Across Both Platforms

Adding a reviewer to a GitHub PR updates the assigned teammate on the linked Asana task.

Sync GitHub Labels to Asana Tags

Labels applied to GitHub issues are mirrored as Asana tags, keeping categorization consistent.

Post Commit References on Task Comments

Each GitHub commit linked to a task posts its message and URL as an Asana task comment.

Escalate Failed CI Builds to Asana

When a GitHub Actions workflow fails, Neotask creates an Asana task with error details.

How It Works

Authenticate both tools

Connect GitHub and Asana to Neotask.

Map repositories to Asana projects

Define how issues, PRs, and commits translate into tasks.

Activate bidirectional sync

Neotask listens for events in real time and keeps both tools consistent.

Capabilities

GitHub Action	Asana Action	Use Case
New Issue Opened	Create Task	Turn bugs into tracked items
PR Merged	Mark Task Complete	Auto-close tasks when code ships
Issue Labeled	Add Tag to Task	Keep categorization consistent
PR Review Requested	Reassign Task	Route review work correctly
Branch Deleted	Archive Linked Task	Clean up completed work
CI Workflow Failed	Create Blocker Task	Escalate build failures

Why Teams Need a GitHub Asana Integration

Engineering teams live in GitHub. Product and design teams live in Asana. Without a github asana integration, bridging the two is manual and error-prone.

Key Advantages

Eliminate manual status updates that slow down sprint reviews
Give product managers accurate visibility into development progress
Maintain a complete audit trail linking every Asana task to code changes
Reduce dropped work by creating Asana tasks from GitHub issues
Surface CI failures directly in Asana before they delay sprints

Try Asking Neotask

When a new issue is opened in [GitHub repo], create an Asana task in [project name] assigned to [team member].
Mark the Asana task as complete when the pull request for [branch name] is merged into [main branch].
Post a comment on Asana task [task ID] every time a commit referencing [issue number] is pushed.
When a GitHub issue is labeled [label name], add the tag [Asana tag] to the corresponding task.
Create an Asana task with high priority when a GitHub Actions workflow fails for [workflow name].
Sync the assignee from GitHub issue [issue number] to the linked Asana task.

Pro Tips

Tip

Use GitHub issue templates to pre-fill Asana task fields on creation.

Tip

Map GitHub milestones to Asana sprints for clean release tracking.

Tip

Add a bot comment on GitHub PRs confirming the linked Asana task was updated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the GitHub Asana integration support multiple repos to one project?

Yes. Neotask supports many-to-one and many-to-many repo-to-project mappings.

Can I use the github asana connector with Asana subtasks?

Yes. Individual commits can be logged as subtasks under a parent task.

What happens if a GitHub issue is closed without a PR?

You can configure Neotask to handle this separately - moving the Asana task to a Won't Fix section, for example.
