Zendesk + Asana Integration

Learn the best use cases for a Zendesk-Asana integration, what fields are synced between the two tools, and your customization options.

Use Zendesk and Asana together to improve your team's efficiency. Whether you need more information to get your sync set up or you're just checking us out, this guide will show you what we sync, how to get started, and how to solve common problems.

What is synced?

Note: after the initial sync, the Zendesk ticket description cannot be updated due to its read-only first comment nature. Any changes on the synced task description or fields of the description footer cannot be reflected in Zendesk.
