How teams connect Asana and ServiceNow

Pick the setup closest to yours. Unito syncs any ServiceNow table, native or custom.

  • Tasks
    Items sync both ways between Asana and ServiceNow
    Requested items

    Send service requests to business teams

    When a requested item is found in ServiceNow, create a matching task in Asana and keep them in sync.

    Status and comments from the Asana task show on the ServiceNow requested item, so the IT service desk can answer the requester without chasing business teams.

  • Tasks
    Items sync both ways between Asana and ServiceNow
    Incidents

    Hand incident follow-up work to business teams

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

    Status and assignee sync both ways, so the IT service desk sees on each ServiceNow incident who in Asana owns the follow-up work and when it's done.

  • Projects
    Items sync both ways between Asana and ServiceNow
    Incidents

    Turn complex requests into structured project work

    When an incident is found in ServiceNow, create a matching project in Asana and keep them in sync.

    Incident tasks arrive as tasks in the Asana project with their assignees, so the IT service desk sees who owns each step of the response from the incident.

Watch Asana and ServiceNow sync both ways

This 8-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 ServiceNow

Choose which tool creates new items and which way each field syncs, so ServiceNow requested items can create Asana tasks while status and comments update both ways. Set rules on field values to decide which requested items and tasks 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 task assignee, project status, incident priority, assignment group, and more.

Deep field configurability

Configure your data flow field by field. Map any native or custom fields — including Asana custom fields and ServiceNow table fields — and define flow direction for each, with item matching to prevent duplicates.

Full relationship support

Sync hierarchies and lookup fields across tools, keeping linked tasks, sub-tasks, parent incidents, and catalog tasks fully intact across Asana and ServiceNow.

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 across Asana and ServiceNow — including public comments and private work notes — so project teams and IT service 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.

Enterprise-grade sync without the enterprise-grade complexity

Project teams shouldn't need a ServiceNow seat to see IT progress, and IT shouldn't need Asana access to see project status. Unito bridges both tools with no-code sync that either side can manage.

Abstracted complexity

Connect Asana and ServiceNow 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. Customers report saving on ServiceNow licence costs by giving project teams visibility through Asana instead.
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 ServiceNow

How do I set up the Asana + ServiceNow integration?

Setup happens in Unito: connect your Asana and ServiceNow accounts, then choose which work syncs between them. If you already run project work in Asana and need it linked to ServiceNow, see our Asana + ServiceNow setup guide for each step.

Can ServiceNow incidents automatically create Asana tasks?

Yes. Flow rules can create an Asana task whenever a ServiceNow incident meets specific criteria, such as severity level or assignment group.

Can ServiceNow assignment groups route incidents into specific Asana projects?

Yes. Flow rules can target specific Asana projects based on the ServiceNow assignment group, severity, or category of the incident.

Do ServiceNow work notes stay private when synced to Asana?

Work notes sync only if you include them. Unito can sync ServiceNow’s private work notes separately from public comments, one-way or two-way, but a security_admin must first grant a journal-entry role to each person building the flow.

Does setting up the sync require ServiceNow admin access?

You need a ServiceNow account with REST API access and permissions for the tables you want to sync. Full admin access is not required.

Is this true bidirectional sync or one-way automation?

It’s bidirectional. Asana task name, description, status and assignee, and ServiceNow incident name, description and state, sync two-way. Which tool creates new items and which way each field updates are set separately. For most connectors, edits to synced comments don’t carry over.

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

Yes. Unito maps custom fields by type, such as Number to Number or Date to Date, and most types can fall back to a Text field. Asana date, number, people, single- and multi-select fields are supported. Each mapping is one-way or two-way, though some are forced one-way.
