Simply click "Try it" on the automation example you're interested in and register your account information to immediately experience the integration of Asana and Google Sheets. Registration takes just 30 seconds, so feel free to give it a try!
Add a Task to Google Sheets When a New Task is Added to an Asana Project
This flow adds a record to Google Sheets based on the task information when a task is created in Asana. It is useful when you want to manage task progress in a list or share information with members who do not use Asana. As the latest tasks are automatically added to Google Sheets, the manual effort of transcription and duplicate entries is eliminated, enhancing the efficiency of information sharing.
Retrieve tasks from Asana and add them to Google Sheets according to the specified schedule
This flow retrieves tasks from Asana on specified days and times and adds them to records in Google Sheets. The previous flow was effective for rapid task sharing, but this one can be utilized for regular report creation and monitoring.
Sync Asana Task Information with Google Sheets
This flow adds a task to Google Sheets as a record if it doesn't already exist when a task is created or updated in Asana. If the task is already added, it updates the record. By automatically determining whether to add or update, it ensures synchronization when a task is updated and prevents duplicate data.
Let's Create a Flow to Integrate Asana and Google Sheets
Now, let's actually create a flow that integrates Asana and Google Sheets!
This time, we will proceed with the integration of Asana and Google Sheets using Yoom without any coding. If you do not have a Yoom account yet, please issue an account from the Yoom account issuance link.

If You Want to Integrate Google Sheets Data with Asana
This article introduced a flow to reflect Asana data in Google Sheets, but if you want to take action in Asana starting from Google Sheets, please use the following template.
Add a Task to Asana When a Row is Added in Google Sheets
While linking from Asana to Google Sheets is useful for progress management and information organization, automating task registration from Google Sheets to Asana is effective when you want to flexibly expand the starting point of tasks. You can create tasks directly in Asana from information aggregated in Google Sheets, such as customer lists, inquiry lists, and form response data.
Regularly check Google Sheets and create tasks in Asana from rows with specific conditions
This flow is useful when you want to extract only the necessary tasks from a large amount of data and manage them as tasks. For example, you can automatically pick up only the rows where the response status is "Unaddressed" or "Pending" and assign them as tasks to the team in Asana, allowing you to incorporate them into your work while preventing any oversight.
Other Automation Examples Using Asana and Google Sheets API
By leveraging the APIs of Asana and Google Sheets, various automations can be achieved! How about the following automations?

Worked as a system engineer for 4 years. At that time, I was bothered by attendance management that was manually entered into Excel every day and the work of converting receipts into data, so I wanted to meet Yoom even faster. I've just started using Yoom, but I'm going to share information to make everyone's “it would be nice if it could be automated” come true!
Conventional RPA can only automate simple repetitive tasks, and the setup process was very complicated. With “hyperautomation,” which combines various technologies such as AI, API, RPA, and OCR, it is possible to automate many tasks that could not be realized until now more easily than before.
Most tools simply connect one app to another, leaving the complex tasks to you. Yoom goes much further: From document creation and browser automation to OCR and generative AI, Yoom handles it all seamlessly in one platform.
Why settle for basic integrations? Streamline your entire workflow with Yoom’s powerful hyperautomation.
