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 across Asana and Jira so product and engineering teams 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.

Fully configurable Asana Jira integration, set up in simple steps

Connect your tools, choose what to sync, and launch your flow. No engineering required.

Watch Asana and Jira 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.

Unito provides a simpler approach to integration

Many 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 Jira with rules anyone on the team can configure.

Abstracted complexity

Connect Asana and Jira 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.

Escalate product work from Asana into Jira engineering

Product teams scope roadmap work, bugs, and feature requests in Asana. Engineering picks it up as Jira issues with the right project, epic, and sprint. Unito creates Jira issues from Asana tasks automatically — and keeps both sides in sync as work ships, without manual ticket creation or status pings.

Sync Asana and Jira bidirectionally without custom scripts

Once an Asana task escalates to a Jira issue, status, assignee, sprint, and components sync both ways. No middleware, no Zapier chains, no scripts.

Preserve the full product-to-engineering hierarchy

Map Asana projects and tasks to Jira epics, stories, and sub-tasks. Sprint assignments, components, and blocking relationships stay intact across both tools.

Give product managers visibility without Jira access

Sync custom fields, statuses, and comments so Asana reflects what engineering is doing. No more chasing engineers for updates.

Advanced syncing use cases for Asana and Jira workflows

Sync agile execution end-to-end

An Asana task links to a Jira story carrying sprint assignments, components, tags, and blocking relationships. Status, assignee, and comments flow both ways so the Asana task reflects live engineering progress.

Track epic-level progress across tools

When an Asana project represents a larger body of work, map it to a Jira epic. Child stories stay under the epic in Jira. Status rolls up so product sees epic-level progress without rebuilding hierarchy in Asana.

Sync dev work that affects the roadmap

Asana tasks link directly to specific Jira stories rather than mirroring the full epic structure. Product sees exactly the engineering work that affects the roadmap. Engineers keep their epic hierarchy intact.

Frequently asked questions about Asana and Jira

Does Asana have a Jira integration?

Yes. Asana ships Asana for Jira Cloud Data Sync, which requires an Asana Business or Enterprise plan and connects to Jira Cloud. Unito is a separate connector that syncs Asana with Jira on any Asana plan, and it maps custom fields on both sides.

Does Asana work with Jira?

Yes. A Unito flow, the connection between two tools, keeps Asana tasks and Jira issues consistent in both directions. Create a task in Asana and a matching Jira issue appears. Change an assignee, due date or status in either tool and the other updates.

What does Asana's native Jira integration not cover?

Asana for Jira Cloud Data Sync runs on Business and Enterprise plans and supports Jira Cloud. Premium accounts get issue-to-task creation and a Jira widget. Unito runs on any Asana plan, maps Asana custom fields onto Jira custom fields and uses rules to decide which items sync.

What syncs between Asana and Jira?

Unito reads 25 fields on an Asana task and maps them onto a Jira issue.

  • Asana tasks and subtasks map to Jira issues and their child work items.
  • Task name, description, assignee, due date, start date and completion status.
  • Asana tags map to Jira labels.
  • Custom fields on both sides.
  • New comments.
Do custom fields sync between Asana and Jira?

Yes. Both connectors support custom fields, and you map them one at a time when you build the flow. Unito filters out Jira’s Agile custom fields, so greenhopper sprint fields do not appear in the mapping list.

Do comments sync between Asana and Jira?

New comments sync in both directions. Later edits and deletions do not. Unito can create a comment on an Asana task or a Jira issue, and it cannot update or delete one afterward. Plan for threads that append rather than change.

What access do I need in Asana and Jira?

Unito connects to Asana over OAuth 2.0, or with an Asana service account token. Jira uses OAuth 2.0 and requests the read:jira-work, write:jira-work, read:jira-user and manage:jira-webhook scopes. The webhook scope is what lets Unito react to changes in Jira as they happen.

Can I sync only specific Asana projects with certain Jira projects?

Yes. Each flow connects one Asana project to one Jira project, and you choose the pair when you build it. Rules then decide which items sync, so you can hold a flow to a single tag, one work type or one assignee.

How do I connect Jira to Asana?

Connect both tools to Unito, then build a flow between one Asana project and one Jira project. Choose a direction, set rules for which items qualify and review how fields map across the two tools. Nothing runs until you turn the flow on.

Does syncing Asana with Jira work for Jira Data Center?

Yes. Unito has a dedicated Jira Data Center connector, so an Asana pairing works on self-hosted Jira as well as Jira Cloud. Asana’s native Jira sync covers Jira Cloud only, which rules the native option out entirely for a Data Center instance.

Do attachments transfer between Asana and Jira?

Yes, and you choose how. Copied mode makes a binary copy of the file in the other tool, so it behaves like a native attachment. Linked mode syncs a link instead and keeps the original access control, with a toggle deciding whether viewers must log in first. Unito never stores your files.

Can I sync Jira epics into Asana?

Yes. Unito’s Advanced Sync holds hierarchies across the two tools, so a planning structure built in Asana maps into Jira with its hierarchy, work item types and key metadata preserved. Epic is a work type in your own Jira project, so what maps depends on how that project is configured.
