How teams connect Asana and Azure DevOps

Pick the setup closest to yours. Each one works with any Azure DevOps work item type, including custom ones.

  • Tasks
    Items sync both ways between Asana and Azure DevOps
    Bugs

    Send bugs from project teams to engineering

    When a task is found in Asana, create a matching bug in Azure DevOps and keep them in sync.

    Status, comments and assignee sync both ways, so the project team that logged the bug in Asana sees which Azure DevOps engineer owns it and when it's resolved.

    User stories

    Show dev progress to project managers

    When a user story is found in Azure DevOps, create a matching task in Asana and keep them in sync.

    Status, assignee and due dates update in Asana as engineers move each user story, so project managers spot a slipping date without opening Azure DevOps.

    Epics

    Mirror project structure in the engineering backlog

    When a project is found in Asana, create a matching epic in Azure DevOps and keep them in sync.

    Tasks and subtasks in each Asana project arrive as child work items under its epic, so engineering builds from the same structure the project team planned.

Watch Asana and Azure DevOps sync both ways

This 9-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.

Everything Unito syncs between Asana and Azure DevOps

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

Asana and Azure DevOps sync features built for complete control

Custom sync rules

Set up simple conditional rules to determine exactly what syncs, such as Asana task assignees and project statuses, or Azure DevOps work item types, iterations, and tags.

Deep field mapping

Map native or custom fields field-by-field. Define one-way or two-way direction for every single field, and rely on Unito’s automatic item matching to eliminate duplicates before they happen.

Complete hierarchy & relationship sync

Keep your project structure intact. Sync parent-child relationships and linked items, connecting Asana tasks, subtasks, and portfolios directly with Azure DevOps Epics, Features, and User Stories.

Backfill historical data on demand

Backfill historical tasks and work items from any point in time so your newly connected projects have full context from day one, no matter the workspace size.

Comment & attachment syncing

Preserve conversations and context across tools. Sync comments, screenshots, and file attachments between Asana and Azure DevOps.

Live data transformation

Format data on the fly. Automatically merge fields, convert HTML formatting to clean text, extract key values, or apply advanced formatting logic so information looks natural in both tools.

Frequently asked questions about Asana and Azure DevOps

How do I set up the Asana + Azure DevOps integration?

Unito connects Asana tasks with Azure DevOps work items in a two-way sync you build without code. For a walkthrough of setting up the flow, see our Asana + Azure DevOps integration guide.

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

No. Neither Asana nor Microsoft builds an Asana-Azure DevOps integration. The Azure DevOps app in Asana’s app directory is a third-party integration powered by Unito, and Azure DevOps service hooks have no Asana target.

Does the sync support Azure DevOps iteration paths and area paths?

Yes. Iteration paths and area paths sync as mapped fields so product teams can track engineering structures from Asana.

Is this true bidirectional sync or one-way automation?

Bidirectional. Asana task name, description, status and assignee sync two-way with Azure DevOps title, description, state and assignee. Flow direction (which side creates items) and field direction are set separately, so a one-way flow can still update fields both ways.

Do comments and attachments carry across in the Asana + Azure DevOps two-way sync?

Yes. Comments and attachments sync both ways between Asana tasks and Azure DevOps work items. For most connectors, only new comments carry across, not edits to ones already synced. By default they post under the flow builder’s account, with the original commenter’s name shown in the comment.

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

Yes. Unito maps custom fields by matching type, across Asana’s date, number, people and select fields and Azure DevOps’ datetime, integer, identity, picklist and text fields. Most types can also map into text. Each mapping is one-way or two-way, though tool limits force some one-way.

Can I sync only some Asana tasks or Azure DevOps work items rather than everything?

Yes. Rules limit the sync to items matching set tags, assignees or statuses, and every condition on a rule must be met. Rules can also trigger actions, like auto-assigning a synced work item, and lookup fields can map one value to several values on the other side.
