You are just a few steps away from integrating TrackingTime and Asana and enjoying the convenience of time tracking!

How to integrate with Asana

Roles: All users | Free Feature

How to enable the Asana integration:

  1. Install the TrackingTime browser extension on Chrome, Firefox, Safari or MS Edge.

  2. Log in or sign up to TrackingTime through the browser extension.

  3. Enable Asana from the list of integrations.

  4. Once enabled, go to Asana and open/create a task. You'll see the Play Button under the task's name.

💡 Use the shortcut to go to TrackingTime right from Asana.

💡From TrackingTime, edit your tasks while tracking and fill in details that you need such as assignees, billable/non-billable, hourly rate, due date and more.

📝 The Button will automatically identify the task and project you've selected and sync this data with your TrackingTime account.

If the task (or project) doesn't exist in your TrackingTime account yet, we'll automatically create them using the names we detected.

Supported Entities

Here's the list of data that is expected to be synced from Asana to TrackingTime:

  • Project names.

  • Task names.

  • Subtask names (will be passed as tasks in TrackingTime, but not as subtasks).

  • Custom fields (created in TrackingTime and populated from Asana).

  • Start time.

  • End time.

  • Duration.

  • Notes.

⚠️ Any other entity not mentioned on the list above (such as comments, collaborators, or due dates) will not be synced when tracking.

Import your CSV

If you want to migrate to TrackingTime, and move all your current projects and tasks into our application, or just import your projects without the integration's need, you can export them into a CSV, and import the data into your TrackingTime account with our data importer tool.

Troubleshooting steps for the Asana integration

If you are experiencing issues, kindly try the troubleshooting steps below to fix them.

How to troubleshoot your Asana integration:

  1. First, please ensure you have installed the latest extension version.

  2. Check you have logged into the extension using the correct account.

  3. Make sure you allow access to the application by enabling the domain.

  4. Confirm you are using the latest domain's version by clicking on Reload. (The extension will automatically update to the latest version when opened)

  5. If the Play button is still missing from your tasks after trying these, refresh your Asana page. You can also close the tab/browser entirely and re-open it!

⚠️ Since our integration with Asana depends on the browser extension to work, it is not supported on other versions of Asana, such as desktop or mobile applications.

If the problem persists, please send us:

  • The name and version of the browser you are using.

  • Name of the application where you are trying to see the buttons.

  • The URL of where you expect to see the buttons.

  • Full screenshot on the URL with the extension open.

  • Full screenshot of the extension settings.
