Connect Asana to Google Sheets

Sheets are where lists and data collect: new clients, audit findings, numbers. Asana is where someone takes ownership. Connect them so the rows that need action turn into Asana projects and tasks.

Build your own

Build any Asana and Google Sheets automation you can describe

The ideas above are ready-made starting points, not a fixed list. Describe what should happen between Asana and Google Sheets in your own words, with your conditions, other apps or an AI step, and your assistant writes it, tests it and runs it on ClickRuntime.

  • Your own rules

    Conditions, thresholds, filters and exceptions, written the way you'd explain them to a colleague.

  • Any number of apps

    One automation can read from one app and update several others. Over 248 apps are ready, and anything with an API works too.

  • AI where it helps

    Summaries, classification, extraction and drafts use ClickRuntime's built-in AI, with no extra key.

  • On a schedule or on each event

    Runs as often as every 5 minutes, or the moment an app sends an event, and keeps track of what it already handled.

For example, ask your assistant

Every night, write all incomplete Asana tasks in my Clients portfolio to a sheet, adding a column that flags tasks with no due date or no assignee.

When the Owner column changes in my Launch Plan sheet, reassign the matching Asana task, but skip rows with no task link.

Use cases

Why people connect Asana and Google Sheets

How the two apps work together

  • The automation checks the sheet every few minutes for new or changed rows.
  • Rows become Asana tasks or update existing ones, with the task link written back to the row.
  • Asana webhooks or scheduled reads update the sheet when tasks change.

  • Project reports for leadership

    Operations leads write tasks with assignee, due date, section and completion into a sheet. Leadership charts workload and late tasks from it.

  • Bulk task creation from plans

    Event and launch planners build task lists in a sheet and turn each row into an Asana task with assignee and due date.

  • Time and budget tracking

    Agencies combine Asana task completion with budget columns in a sheet to see project cost by client.

  • Intake from people outside Asana

    Teams collect requests in a shared sheet, and each new row becomes a task in the right Asana project.

More apps

Asana, Google Sheets and other apps in one automation

An automation isn't limited to two apps. Add the next step in another app and it runs as part of the same automation.

Weekly Asana report sheet with Slack summary

Every Friday, refresh my Asana Report sheet with completed and overdue tasks per person and post the totals in #ops.

Form requests to Asana through a sheet

When a Google Forms response lands in my Requests sheet, create an Asana task in the Intake project and add the link in column G.

Hours and tasks per client

Each Monday, write a sheet row per client with Asana tasks completed and Harvest hours logged last week.

Setup

Connect Asana and Google Sheets once

Every idea on this page uses the same two connections, so you set them up once. If one is missing, your assistant tells you and links to the right place.

Asana

Project management

  1. In Asana, open the developer console at app.asana.com/0/my-apps.
  2. Create a new token. Asana asks for a description, such as 'ClickRuntime automations'.

  4. In the ClickRuntime dashboard, open Connections & secrets and save the token as a secret for Asana.

Google Sheets

Spreadsheets

  1. In the ClickRuntime dashboard, open Connections and choose Google Sheets.
  2. Sign in with your Google account and allow access.
  3. Pick the spreadsheets the automation may use. It can't see any other file in your Drive.
