Connect Asana and Todoist to eliminate double work and keep tasks in sync
Automate the flow between your project management and personal task lists so nothing falls through the cracks.
Overview
Summary
Connecting Asana and Todoist unlocks seamless task synchronization across team workflows and individual to-do lists. Whether you’re managing complex projects in Asana or tracking daily habits in Todoist, this integration ensures updates in one app automatically reflect in the other. As part of a broader ecosystem of Asana integrations, this connection bridges strategic planning with execution at the personal level.
Why integrate Asana with Todoist?
Benefits
Teams lose hours every week manually copying tasks between platforms—this integration eliminates that friction. Project managers can delegate subtasks directly to team members’ Todoist lists, while individuals can push personal action items into Asana for broader visibility. The result? Fewer missed deadlines, clearer ownership, and less mental clutter. Everyone stays aligned without switching apps or sending reminders.
Use cases that actually matter
Real-world
Delegate weekly reviews
When a weekly project review is marked complete in Asana, automatically create a recurring task in Todoist for each team member to reflect on their progress—keeping accountability personal and consistent.
Sync client deliverables to personal lists
When a new task is added to an Asana project labeled “Client Onboarding,” auto-create a corresponding item in Todoist with priority and due date—linking team goals to individual productivity. This also works with Todoist integrations for personal task managers.
Turn meeting notes into action items
Copy highlighted action items from Asana task comments into Todoist as standalone tasks with tags like #follow-up or #urgent—turning conversation into commitment without manual entry. You can even connect this to Asana Google Sheets integrations for spreadsheet tracking.
💡 Pro Tip: Use custom fields in Asana (like “Priority” or “Owner”) to map directly to Todoist labels or due dates—this ensures context travels with the task, not just the title.
Step-by-step setup
No code
Workflow
Start by connecting your Asana and Todoist accounts through Appy Pie Automate, then choose “New Task in Asana” as your trigger and “Create Task in Todoist” as your action—this is the foundation of Asana Slack integrations.
Map fields like task title, description, due date, and assignee from Asana to their matching fields in Todoist, and optionally add filters (e.g., only sync tasks tagged “Action Item”).
Save and test the automation with a sample task, then expand it to trigger on task completion, status changes, or recurring projects for broader coverage.
Advanced automation ideas
Build a multi-step workflow where a completed Asana project triggers a summary email to stakeholders, while also creating a “Lessons Learned” task in Todoist for the team lead. Or, use conditional logic to only sync high-priority Asana tasks to Todoist if they’re due within 48 hours—reducing noise while keeping critical items visible.
