Asana time tracking with Staffic: hours on every task
Staffic brings the tasks of your Asana projects in as Staffic tasks, your team tracks time on them with the Staffic desktop app, and the hours go back to Asana as time entries. Admins connect Asana once in Settings > Integrations, on every Staffic plan, including Free.

In short
What is the Staffic Asana integration?
Staffic Asana time tracking is the Asana integration in Staffic. It imports the tasks of the Asana projects you pick as Staffic tasks, so people track time on them with activity levels and optional screenshots, then adds the time to each task as one Asana time entry per person and day. It syncs every 15 minutes and is included in every Staffic plan.
How it works
How Asana time tracking works in Staffic
From an Asana task to its actual time, without anyone starting an Asana timer.
- 01Connect AsanaAn admin clicks Connect on the Asana card in Staffic and allows Staffic in Asana.
- 02Choose projectsSet each project to a new Staffic project, an existing one or Don't sync, then save.
- 03Track time on tasksPeople start the timer on an imported task in the Staffic desktop app, like any other task.
- 04Time entries appear in AsanaEvery 15 minutes, or on Sync now, Staffic updates one time entry per person, task and day.
Asana time tracking
Connect Asana, then pick the projects
Approve Staffic in Asana, choose which projects to bring in, and their tasks become Staffic tasks your team tracks time on.
Projects from every Asana workspace you belong to are listed. Each one syncs into a new Staffic project or one you already have; the first sync brings open tasks plus those completed in the last 30 days.
- Projects from all your Asana workspaces
- A new or existing Staffic project for each one
- Up to 100 projects per connection
Each task arrives with its name, description, status, due date and assignee, with a link back to Asana. Tasks flow one way: edits you make in Staffic stay unless the task changes in Asana.
- An Asana badge and an Open in Asana link on every task
- Completed in Asana shows as Done
- Assigned people see the task in the desktop app
Staffic keeps one Asana time entry per person, task and day, equal to Staffic's total for the last 31 days. The entry is filed under the person when the connecting account may do that for them, as their time reviewer or an Asana admin; otherwise it is filed under the connecting account.
- One entry per person, task and day
- Whole minutes, at least 1 minute
- Approved days only, for members who need approval
Time entries need an Asana plan with time tracking. If Asana refuses them, Staffic turns Send tracked time back off and says so in the panel; your tasks keep importing and the hours stay in Staffic's timesheets.
- Tasks import on any Asana plan
- Time back needs Asana time tracking
- Staffic timesheets and reports work either way

Control and privacy
Admins and members stay in control
Asana stays the place where work is planned; Staffic only adds time entries.
- Only admins connect Asana, choose projects and disconnect it.
- Send tracked time back is a switch: turn it off and tasks still import.
- Set a project to Don't sync to keep it out of Staffic.
- Members who need timesheet approval send only approved days.
- Staffic never edits an Asana task, only its own time entries.
- Disconnect stops syncing and removes Staffic's access to Asana; imported tasks stay.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers to common questions about Asana integration.
Read the Asana integration guideDoes Asana have time tracking?
Yes, on Asana's Advanced plan and higher. Asana's help center describes estimated and actual time fields that you turn on per project, filled in with a built-in timer or typed in. Staffic fills in the actual time from the hours your team tracks in Staffic.
Can you track time in Asana?
Yes. With Staffic connected, people track time on their Asana tasks with the Staffic desktop app, and Staffic adds it to each task as an Asana time entry for that person and day.
How do you track time in Asana with Staffic?
Connect Asana in Settings > Integrations and pick the projects to sync. Each person starts the timer on their task in the Staffic desktop app, and within 15 minutes the time shows on the task in Asana.
How do time tracking tools integrate with Asana?
They read tasks from Asana and write time entries back. Staffic imports the tasks of the projects you choose, keeps one time entry per person, task and day equal to its own total for 31 days, and never edits the tasks themselves.
What if my Asana plan has no time tracking?
Tasks still import and people still track time in Staffic. Staffic turns Send tracked time back off and says why in the Asana panel, and the hours stay in Staffic's timesheets and reports.
Whose name is on the Asana time entries?
The person who did the work, when the account that connected Asana is their time reviewer or an Asana admin. Otherwise the entry belongs to the connecting account.
What happens if I disconnect Asana?
Syncing stops and Staffic's access to Asana is removed. Imported tasks stay in Staffic and the time entries already written stay in Asana.
