Published in Project Management on 06/08/2025, last updated 15/01/2026.

In this guide, you’ll find everything you need to know to set up an integration that will sync NetSuite records with Asana tasks through an automated 2-way flow from Unito. Since Unito is a completely customizable platform with a no-code interface, you can set up this integration without any support from your technical teams. No need to troubleshoot complex automations or rely on expensive consultants, either.

Overview

• Tools: NetSuite and Asana
• Use cases: Task management, project reporting, account management
• Great for: Project managers, RevOps, finance, data analysts, consultants, stakeholders and executives

Unito’s two-way sync integration for NetSuite and Asana allows users of any technical background, from product managers to software developers and team leads, to sync NetSuite records with Asana tasks, projects, and portfolios. This integration syncs updates back and forth between both tools, creates new work items, and can even automate repetitive actions. This in-depth guide shows you how that’s done.

By the end of this guide your NetSuite-Asana integration will:

• Create new NetSuite records based on Asana tasks.
• Create new Asana tasks synced with NetSuite records.
• Update fields in real-time with a two-way sync when you work in either tool.

Before you start

If you’re connecting NetSuite to Unito for the first time, you’ll need to make sure you have a NetSuite admin account. You’ll also need the following information:

• NetSuite Application ID
• OAuth Client ID
• OAuth Client Secret

Not sure where to get this? We have a full guide to it here.

Step 2: Choose flow direction for records and tasks

With flow direction, you decide where Unito automatically creates work items to match those you create manually. You have three options:

• 2-way: Both NetSuite records and Asana tasks are automatically created by your Unito flow to match items you create manually in each tool.
• 1-way from NetSuite to Asana: Asana tasks will be automatically created by Unito to match NetSuite records you create manually. Unito won’t create new NetSuite records.
• 1-way from Asana to NetSuite: NetSuite records will be automatically created by Unito to match Asana tasks you create manually. Unito won’t create new Asana tasks.

Step 3: Build rules to sync specific work items

Unito rules can do two things:

1. Filter out work items you don’t want synced. For example, you could create a rule that only syncs NetSuite records opened after a certain date.
2. Automate certain actions. For example, you could create a rule that automatically assigns new Asana tasks to a certain person on your team.

To start building your rule, click Add a new rule, then choose a trigger and action.

Step 4: Map fields between NetSuite and Asana

When you map fields, you pair fields in NetSuite with fields in Asana so data always goes exactly where it needs to. Unito can usually map most fields automatically, whether they’re exactly the same (Owner→Owner) or just compatible (URL→Text). You can also choose to map fields manually to fully customize your flow.

Here’s what you’ll see when Unito maps your fields automatically.

You can add a field mapping by clicking +Add mapping, then Select a field. When you choose the field you want to map in one tool, Unito will automatically recommend compatible fields in a dropdown under the other tool.

Some fields have a cog icon. They can be customized further once they’re mapped. For example, a Status field can be customized so its options match those in another field.

Step 5: Launch your NetSuite-Asana integration

That’s it! You’re ready to launch your flow. Unito will automatically keep NetSuite records and Asana tasks in sync. This will allow your teams to collaborate more effectively without copying and pasting data or jumping back and forth between tools.

FAQ: NetSuite-Asana integration

Why should I integrate Asana with NetSuite?

Syncing Asana tasks with NetSuite records allows your teams to work more effectively together without constantly switching back and forth between tools. This allows:

• Project managers who plan tasks and essential projects in Asana to share essential updates with teams in NetSuite so they always have full context.
• Teams working in NetSuite can sync updates to Asana so stakeholders have up-to-date reports in the platform they use regularly.
• Improving collaboration between oversight teams in NetSuite and other teams in Asana.

How do I add an Asana task to NetSuite?

While you can manually transfer data from Asana tasks to NetSuite records, the best way to do this is Unito’s integration. With a single flow, you can turn tasks from a single Asana project into NetSuite records automatically and sync any updates between both tools.

How much does an Asana-NetSuite integration cost?

The cost of an Asana-NetSuite integration depends on the method you use. Unito’splans, for example, start at $49 a month, scaling up to custom enterprise plans. Other integrations, like Workato, can cost thousands of dollars a year or more.

Why should I use Unito’s Asana-NetSuite integration?

Unito has the deepest two-way integrations on the market, but they only take a few clicks to set up.

When you connect your Asana projects with NetSuite, NetSuite records can become Asana tasks and vice versa. That means everything from comments to due dates and assignees can get synced across with no extra work. No more copying and pasting, no more data entry, and no more missed updates. You get the feeling of everyone working in a single tool without having to designate a middleman or force anyone into a tool they don’t like.
