FAQ

Questions about Jira + Asana.

When do I want Asana + Jira instead of just Jira?
When non-engineers (product, marketing, CX) need to read and edit the backlog without learning Jira. Asana stays the friendly stakeholder layer; Jira stays the engineering source-of-truth.
How do I link an Asana task to a Jira issue?
After Create Issue returns the issue key (e.g., PROJ-123), write it to an Asana custom field on the task. Subsequent syncs use that key as the lookup ID.
Can I push Asana status changes as Jira transitions?
Yes, but Jira uses transition IDs, not status names. Use Get Transitions to fetch valid transitions for the issue, then Transition Issue with the matching ID. Cache the transition ID lookup.
How do I map an Asana custom-field "Issue Type" to Jira issue types?
Maintain a small lookup mapping ("Story" → Jira issuetype id 10001; "Bug" → 10004). Pass the resolved ID in the Create Issue payload. Issue types are stable per project.
Can I include Asana attachments in the linked Jira issue?
Yes. Loop over Asana attachments, download each, and upload via Jira Add Attachment. Or just include the Asana attachment URLs in the issue description for lower-fidelity but simpler integration.
How do I avoid sync loops between Asana and Jira?
Pick one direction per field. Asana owns "Business Priority" and "Customer Impact"; Jira owns "Engineering Status" and "Sprint". Never sync the same field both directions.
