Connect Asana to Unblockd.
- In AsanaYour projects and the status of each item
- In UnblockdTasks under the right deliverable, with stuck work flagged for your team
- On your sponsor’s pageProgress on each deliverable, with its proof
What it reads
Link the Asana projects each Unblockd project needs. You pick which items to bring in, up to 50 at a time, and each one becomes a task under a deliverable with a link back to Asana.
In Asana
Tasks; a Blocked section flags a blocker.
How it stays current
Asana tells Unblockd as soon as something changes. Unblockd then reads that item again through Asana’s API, so a change only counts once Asana confirms it.
How you connect
An admin signs in to Asana once for the whole workspace and approves read access. Unblockd reads your work in Asana and leaves it as it is; the one thing it adds is the webhook that tells it about changes. The access token is encrypted with AES-256-GCM before it’s stored.
What your sponsor sees
Your sponsor sees each deliverable’s progress. The tasks you bring in, and any blocker they flag, stay with your team until someone chooses to share them.
How teams use it
What happens to Asana work once it’s connected, from the first link to your sponsor’s page.
- Plan in Asana, report from UnblockdLink the Asana project for a project and bring its items in under the deliverables they serve, up to 50 at a time. Each task keeps a link back to Asana, and its status follows Asana from then on.
- Stuck work becomes an askIn Asana, a Blocked section flags a blocker. Unblockd opens it for your team only and alerts your team’s chat channels if you’ve connected any. Someone confirms it and turns it into an ask for the sponsor: a decision with options, or a request for help.
- Acceptance stays with your teamA task marked done in Asana finishes here too, unless it still needs a sign-off. The deliverable itself is accepted only once its evidence is attached, and your sponsor is emailed only when a person on your team accepts it.
- New items arrive on their own, if you wantAn admin can turn on automatic import, so new open items in a linked project arrive as tasks under the deliverable chosen for it, up to 25 per sync.
