Tip: <\/strong>If you already use the SecureDB <a href=\"https:\/\/securedb.io\/kb\/?p=20776\">Kanban board<\/a>, Asana tasks will populate automatically into their matching swimlanes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep Everything in Sync<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>SecureDB uses <strong>real-time webhooks<\/strong> to mirror updates between systems \u2014 so when someone updates a Task, changes the assignee, or marks it complete in Asana, you\u2019ll see that reflected almost immediately in SecureDB (there&#8217;s about a 30 second lag for the handshake).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"disconnectAssana\">Disconnecting Asana (Optional)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can disconnect your Asana account anytime:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to <strong>Administration \u2192 Assana Integration<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click <strong>Disconnect<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your data will remain safe in both systems \u2014 only the sync connection will stop.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if the connection is lost?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It happens sometimes that the oAuth connection could be lost or expired.  In that case, <a href=\"#disconnectAssana\" data-type=\"internal\" data-id=\"#disconnectAssana\">simply disconnect Asana Integration<\/a> and then <a href=\"#connectAsana\" data-type=\"internal\" data-id=\"#connectAsana\">re-Connect it<\/a>.  You won&#8217;t lose anything.  After about 30 seconds, the sync will be complete (depending on the number of tasks and projects). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Organization-Level Settings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a way to connect your entire SecureDB organization to your Asana Workspace.  There are a few caveats, however. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Completed once by an admin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Values come from the Asana Developer Console<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Required to enable Asana integration for your company<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/securedb.io\/kb\/?p=20813\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/securedb.io\/kb\/?p=20813\">Here&#8217;s how to set Asana Integration up organization-wide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Asana integration bridges your team\u2019s productivity tools \u2014 connecting Projects, meetings, and Tasks in one seamless workflow.
