## How to connect Asana

1. Go to **Workspace settings → Integrations → Asana**, click **Add integration**, and authorize your Asana workspace.
2. Map each Asana project to a Pike project, and map sections to Pike task statuses.
3. Choose ongoing sync, or **Import once** to copy projects and disconnect.

Full setup steps and field mappings are in the [Asana integration docs](https://usepike.com/docs/integrations/asana).

## How agencies use Pike with Asana

- **Add time and margin to Asana plans.** Teams keep planning in Asana while Pike tracks logged hours, budget burn, and margin on the same tasks.
- **Run a pilot without a cutover.** Sync one client team’s Asana projects into Pike, compare utilization reports for a month, then decide.
- **Move off Asana in one step.** **Import once** brings projects, tasks, subtasks, and comments into Pike, so admins skip the CSV mapping work.

## Limits to know before you connect

- Pike does not write back to Asana.
- Attachments import as links, not files.
- Asana custom fields do not sync.
