Asana and ClickUp, ready to switch on
A task created in the Asana project you name appears in the ClickUp list you choose with the same due date, description and owner where the names match, and later changes follow. You paste two keys in your account and we switch it on for you.
No setup fee, cancel any month, and a person on live chat if a key doesn't work.

What moves, and when
The details you would normally get after a sales call. Here they are up front.
| What | Direction | When | Rule |
|---|---|---|---|
| Task mirrored into the other tool | Asana to ClickUp | Within seconds | Into the list you choose, with the description, the dates and the assignee matched on email |
| And back the other way | ClickUp to Asana | Within seconds | Into the project and section you name, so neither team has to leave the tool it likes |
| One side owns the due date | Both ways | When it changes | You pick which, because two teams quietly moving the same deadline is worse than not syncing dates at all |
| Completion | Both ways | When either is closed | The twin closes too, which is the end of the weekly hunt for what is actually finished |
| How deep it goes | Both ways | With the parent | One level of subtasks travels; a deeper tree stays in the tool it was built in |
How to set up Asana and ClickUp
A few minutes of your time, then it's ours.
- Choose Asana and ClickUpPress Connect. This pair is already selected on the checkout page at $39 a month, and there's nothing else to pick.
- Pay and open your accountCard or invoice, about two minutes. The account opens with this integration waiting for its two keys.
- Paste the Asana access token and the ClickUp API token
- Asana access token: open app.asana.com/0/developer-console, or go to Settings, then Apps, then Manage developer apps. Full Asana guide
- ClickUp API token: in ClickUp open your avatar, then Settings, then Apps. Full ClickUp guide
Each screen carries the full guide with the exact menu names, about five minutes for both. - We check both keysEach key is checked against Asana's and ClickUp's own API the moment you paste it. If one doesn't pass, the screen says what to fix, and a person joins the chat if that isn't enough.
- Create one test task, then we switch it onA minute or two. Create a task in Asana, watch its twin appear in ClickUp, then close one and watch the other close. A person checks the setup and switches it on, within a working day.
When Asana or ClickUp changes its API, we fix it within a working day. You don't get a ticket to solve.
- Everything in the table above, with monitoring on.
- Fixes when either app changes its API.
- A person on live chat, weekdays 10:00 to 19:00 EET.
- Custom logic beyond the table is priced separately.
What it will cost once you can switch it on yourself. While we're in beta we connect it by hand and don't charge for it.
Ways to connect Asana and ClickUp
Two ways people connect these two, and what each one asks of you.
Before you decide
Which one is the source of truth?
Neither, and that is why the loop guard matters. Each team works where it prefers, and the twin follows. If you would rather one side be read-only, say so and we set it that way.
Do subtasks and checklists come across?
The top level does, with title, dates and assignee. Subtasks and checklists differ so much between these two that we treat them as a custom job rather than pretending they map cleanly.
Which side should own the due date?
Pick one while connecting. Running dates both ways sounds fair and ends with two teams quietly moving the same deadline, so we usually let the delivery side own it and the other side follow.
Anything to know about Asana?
A personal access token acts as your user, so tasks are created in your name and only in projects that user can see.
Anything to know about ClickUp?
The personal token acts as you, so tasks the integration creates show your name as their creator. A user made for the integration keeps that tidy.
What if mine is a bit different?
Tell us what should go where in plain words. Small changes to the rules above are usually free; bigger ones we price within a working day and build into the same account.
