How To Connect Asana to Notion Easily 2026

By Impran M N

Keeping documentation in Notion while managing tasks in Asana usually means retyping the same information twice — a status update in one place that someone forgets to mirror in the other. Asana and Notion's native integration closes that gap by letting you connect the two accounts directly and pull live task data from an Asana project into a Notion page. This guide follows the actual connection flow starting from inside Asana, through its app directory, to the Notion authorization screen.

01Start from the Asana project you want to connect

Open the Asana project that holds the tasks you want reflected in Notion — in this walkthrough, a "Product Blog" project with sections like Requests / New Idea, To Do, In Progress, and Completed. Note the project's structure before connecting anything: task names, assignees, due dates, and priority columns are exactly what will need to map cleanly into Notion once the two are linked, so it's worth having the List view open and organized first.

An Asana project in List view, showing task sections, assignees, due dates, and priority — the data that will carry over once Notion is connected.

02Open Asana's Add apps directory

From the project header, open the apps menu to bring up the Add apps modal. It's organized into categories down the left side — Featured apps, Communication, Reporting, File sharing, Marketing & Design, Product Management, Sales, Operations, Productivity, and Made by Developers — with a search bar at the top if you'd rather type the app name directly than browse. This is Asana's general integration marketplace, so alongside Notion you'll see reporting tools like Power BI and Tableau, and file-sharing apps like Dropbox and Google Drive, all installed and managed from this same panel.

03Authorize the connection between the two accounts

Selecting Notion from the directory (or adding it from Notion's own side, since the integration works from either app) opens an authorization screen titled "Connect Notion to Asana," marked Step 1 of 2. A short line of fine print explains that connecting means agreeing to Asana's privacy policy and authorizing the Notion app to access your tasks, projects, and workspaces — read that line before clicking through, since it's granting real read access to your Asana data. The screen shows a brief "Connecting..." state while the two accounts establish the link.

04Copy a project or task link from Asana

Once the accounts are connected, go back to the Asana project or task you want in Notion and copy its share link from the browser address bar or the item's share menu. This link is what Notion uses to identify exactly which project or task to pull in — a task link brings in a single item, while a project link brings in the full list.

05Paste the link into Notion as a synced database

In your Notion page, type a slash command or simply paste the Asana link directly. Notion recognizes the URL and offers a choice: embed it as a plain link, or convert it into a full synced database view that mirrors the Asana project's task list inside the page, with its own columns for the properties Asana tracks. Choosing the synced database option is what makes this more than a bookmark — the Notion view stays live rather than becoming a static snapshot taken at paste time.

06Adjust the view to match how your team works

Once the synced database appears in Notion, you can switch its layout between List, Board, or Table view, the same way you would for any native Notion database, and adjust which Asana fields — assignee, due date, status — show as columns. This is where the connection actually earns its keep day to day: a project manager can review the same live task data as a Notion table without asking anyone to leave Asana or manually re-enter anything on either side.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Where do I connect Asana and Notion — from Asana or from Notion?

Either works. You can add the Notion app from Asana's Add apps directory, or add the Asana integration from within Notion; both paths lead to the same account authorization screen.

What does Notion gain access to when I authorize the connection?

The authorization screen states plainly that connecting grants the Notion app access to your Asana tasks, projects, and workspaces, so review that before confirming.

Can I bring in a whole project, not just one task?

Yes. Pasting a project link into Notion and choosing the synced database option pulls in the full task list from that project, not a single item.

Can I change how the synced tasks are displayed in Notion?

Yes. Once the synced database exists in your Notion page, you can switch between List, Board, or Table view and adjust which Asana properties appear as columns.

Is Notion the only place I'll see the connected apps directory?

No. Asana's own Add apps directory lists Notion alongside dozens of other integrations grouped by category — Reporting, File sharing, Communication, and more — all installed from the same panel.
