Asana

Asana is a project management tool that helps you to organize, track, and manage your work.

You can replicate the data from your Asana account to a Destination database or Data Warehouse using Hevo Pipelines.

Prerequisites

• An active Asana account from which data has to be ingested.

• The configured user has Admin or Owner privileges, to access all the projects.

Data Replication

• Historical Data: In the first run of the Pipeline, Hevo ingests the data from the beginning of time for all the objects in your Asana account.

• Incremental Data: Once the historical load is completed, every subsequent run of the Pipeline fetches the entire data for the objects you select. However, in case of the Tasks object, only the new and modified data is ingested.

Schema and Primary Keys

Hevo uses the following schema to upload the records in the Destination database:

Data Model

The following is the list of tables (objects) that are created at the Destination when you run the Pipeline:

Object	Description
Portfolios	Contains an overview of the state of multiple projects, including a progress report and the most recent project status update.
Portfolio Items	Contains the list of the projects in a portfolio.
Projects	Contains the prioritized list of tasks in Asana or a board with columns of tasks represented as cards. A project is specific to an organization or workspace.
Project Custom Fields	Contains the list of project-specific custom fields. For example, a priority value or a number representing the time required to complete a task.

Project Members	Contains the list of users who are members of the project.

Sections	Contains a group of tasks within a project. It can either be a header above a list of tasks in a list view or a column in a board view of a project.

Tasks Dependents	Contains the IDs of the resources that depend on the task.
Tasks Followers	Contains the list of users following the task.
Tasks Memberships	Contains the list of projects that a task is associated with and the section it belongs to. At task creation time, this list can be used to add the task to specific sections.
