Asana

By connecting Super with your Asana account, you can instantly search for all your tasks, projects, and comments directly in Super. This guide will walk you through the key aspects of the Super and Asana connection.


Connecting Asana & Super

This is the first step to get started. This section covers how to set up the connection between your Super and Asana accounts.


Required Permissions for Setup

To connect Super with Linear, you must have the necessary permissions in both platforms.
  • In Super: Permission to add or remove data sources depends on your team's settings. By default, only Admins or Owners can set up a connection. However, a Super Admin can enable a setting to allow all members to add or remove data sources.
  • In Asana: You must have access to the Asana workspace or project you wish to connect.


Initial Asana Connection

To begin, you need to connect your Asana account with your Super account.
    In Super, navigate to the Data Sources page.
    Find the Asana option and click Connect your Asana.
    A new window will open. Super is requesting permission to access your Asana workspace. Review the permissions and click Allow.
    After clicking Allow, you will be redirected back to Super, where you can select the specific Asana projects you want to sync.
    Once you've selected your projects, the initial data sync will begin.


How Super Indexes Your Asana Projects and Tasks

What We Sync

Super syncs tasks, comments, and metadata from your Asana projects. We do not sync private user data or internal Asana analytics.

Refresh Rate

New tasks, comments, and updates appear in Super every ~6 hours. When a project is first connected, Super performs an initial import of all tasks that have been modified within the last 365 days.

Metadata

To make your search results more useful, Super automatically pulls and indexes key information from your Asana tasks. This includes:
  • Creation, modification, and due dates
  • Completion status and approval status
  • Assignee, creator, and follower names
  • Project and section memberships
  • Tags and custom fields
  • Comment text and author
  • A direct link to the Asana task


Access Control & Privacy

Super respects Asana's privacy settings. It will only index and display content that the user has permission to see in Asana. This ensures that search results are private and secure, matching your team's existing access controls.
