How teams connect Asana and GitHub

Pick the setup closest to yours. Each one pairs Asana tasks with issues from the GitHub repositories you connect.

  • Tasks
    Items sync both ways between Asana and GitHub
    Issues

    Send bugs from project teams to engineering

    When a task is found in Asana, create a matching issue in GitHub and keep them in sync.

    Status and comments sync both ways, so the project team that logged the bug in Asana sees engineering's replies and knows when the GitHub issue closes.

    Show dev progress to project managers

    When an issue is found in GitHub, create a matching task in Asana and keep them in sync.

    Status, assignee and labels update in Asana as engineers work through GitHub issues, so project managers track delivery from the Asana project they plan in.

Watch Asana and GitHub sync both ways

This 3-minute demo builds a sync between two tools from scratch: pick what to sync, map the fields, then watch a change in one tool land in the other. Your fields will differ. The steps won't.

Asana and GitHub 2-Way Sync

Everything Unito syncs between Asana and GitHub

Choose which tool creates new items and which way each field syncs, so Asana tasks can create GitHub issues while status and comments update both ways. Set rules on field values to decide which tasks and issues sync.

Real-time data sync with full control, no coding required

Custom sync rules

Use intuitive rules (conditions or filters) to determine exactly what data to sync, such as Asana project, task assignee, GitHub repository, label, milestone, and more.

Deep field configurability

Configure your data flow at the field level. Map any native or custom fields — including Asana custom fields and GitHub Issue labels, milestones, and assignees — and define flow direction with item matching to prevent duplicates.

Full relationship support

Sync hierarchies and lookup fields across tools, keeping linked Asana tasks and sub-tasks aligned with GitHub Issues and their milestones across both platforms.

Historical data sync

Sync historical records from any point in time, across even the largest datasets. Unito is purpose-built for enterprise-scale alignment across all your tools.

Comment & attachment support

Sync comments and attachments between Asana tasks and GitHub Issues so launch teams and engineers always have full context, wherever they work.

Live data transformation

Transform data in real time with transformers to combine fields, convert HTML to text, extract values, or apply custom string logic through JSON settings.

Enterprise-grade sync without the enterprise-grade complexity

Enterprise integration tools handle product-engineering workflows at scale, but they demand certification, scripting, and multi-week rollouts. Unito handles the same workflows between Asana and GitHub with rules anyone on the team can configure.

Abstracted complexity

Connect Asana and GitHub with an intuitive, out-of-the-box solution that allows for full configurability of your integration. No custom logic, scripting, or engineering-led setup required.
Abstracted complexity

Lower total cost of ownership

Most iPaaS tools drive up cost with long rollouts and heavy upkeep. Unito lowers TCO with fast time to value, and no specialized headcount to maintain or scale integrations.
Lower total cost of ownership

Scalability and resilience

Maintain real-time data consistency across datasets of any size. Unito's auto-scaling, intelligent API throttling and automatic recovery ensure uptime even during peak loads and tool downtimes.

Frequently asked questions about Asana and GitHub

How do I set up the Asana + GitHub integration?

Unito links Asana tasks to GitHub issues in a two-way sync you set up with no code. To link Asana to GitHub step by step, see our Asana + GitHub integration guide.

Is there a native Asana-GitHub integration, and what does it not cover?

Yes, for pull requests. Asana’s GitHub app shows pull request status on tasks linked via the task’s GitHub field or optional GitHub Actions. It doesn’t mention syncing GitHub issues or support GitHub Enterprise Server, and needs a paid Asana plan. Unito syncs Asana tasks and GitHub issues two-way.

Can multiple GitHub repositories sync into one Asana project?

Yes. Run a flow per repo into the same Asana project, or set rules that route Issues to different Asana sections based on repo, label, or milestone.

How are GitHub labels handled when syncing to Asana custom fields?

GitHub labels map to Asana multi-select fields, tags, or custom dropdowns. Map per-label or transform values when the lists differ between repos and Asana projects.

Is this true bidirectional sync or one-way automation?

Bidirectional. Asana task name, description, status and assignee sync two-way with GitHub issue title, description, status and assignee. Which tool can create new items and which way each field updates are set separately, so a one-way flow can still update fields both ways.

Do custom fields map between Asana and GitHub, and in which direction?

Yes. Asana date, multi-select, number, people and single-select custom fields map by matching field type. Each mapping is set one-way or two-way on its own, though some fields are forced one-way when GitHub has no equivalent field.

Can I sync only some Asana tasks or GitHub issues rather than everything?

Yes. Rules limit the sync to Asana tasks or GitHub issues that match specific tags, assignees or statuses, and every condition on a rule must be met. Rules can also act on synced items, such as auto-assigning them to a specific person.

Do comments and attachments carry across?

Yes. Comments and attachments sync between Asana tasks and GitHub issues. For most connectors only new comments carry across, not edits. By default synced comments post under the account of whoever set up the flow, with the original commenter’s name shown in the comment.
