Daily: Syncs occur once every 24 hours
Standard: Syncs take place every 1, 3, or 6 hours
High: Syncs happen either every 10 minutes or every 3 hours
Highest: Syncs occur every 1-5 minutes, hour, or 3 hours

Learn more about Merge’s sync frequencies for Asana.

Which Asana API endpoints does Merge interact with?

Some of the key endpoints include:

POST /1.0/tasks/{task_id}/attachments: Accesses attachment information for a specific task
POST /1.0/tasks/{task_gid}/stories: Retrieves comments associated with a task
PUT /1.0/tasks/{task_gid}: Updates information for a specific task
GET /1.0/tasks: Retrieves a list of tasks with associated details
GET /1.0/users: Accesses user information within Asana
GET /1.0/projects: Retrieves project information

See the full list of endpoints Merge supports.

Can I use Merge to sync custom fields in Asana?

Yes, Merge offers advanced features to access and sync custom data from Asana:

Field Mapping: Map custom Asana fields to Merge’s Common Models in Merge’s Dashboard
Remote Data: Access raw Asana data in its original format
Authenticated Passthrough Requests: Make direct API requests to Asana for data beyond the Common Models

Learn more about each of these features by visiting Merge’s Docs.

How does Merge handle rate limits when syncing data with Asana?

Merge manages API rate limits by implementing efficient data synchronization strategies. These include:

Incremental syncs: Only fetching data that has changed since the last sync to minimize API calls
Rate limit handling: Monitoring and adjusting request rates to comply with Asana's API rate limits

What should I do if I need more frequent data updates from Asana?

If you require more frequent data updates than your current sync plan provides, you can:

Contact your dedicated customer success manager or—if you’re on the Launch Plan—schedule a demo with one of Merge’s integration experts
Manually trigger a data sync by using the Force Resync endpoint
Set up Automatic Webhooks to receive real-time data updates

What companies use Merge’s integration with Asana?

A wide range of companies use it, including Avenue, Drata, Neo.Tax, and Thoropass.

Meta Endpoint

Programmatically access required schemas

Third-party providers require specific (and often different) fields to write data to their APIs, making your code a mess.

Dynamically fetch required data schemas from Merge’s /meta endpoint to make POST or PATCH requests that just work.
