You will be redirected to Asana to create and manage the task.

Step 2: Integration direction (one-way sync)

This integration works in a one-way sync:

Tasks created in Asana will automatically sync to Workstatus

Synced tasks will be visible in Workstatus

Step 3: Task management (CRUD operation)

All task operations are controlled externally:

Create → Managed in Asana

Read/View → Redirected to Asana

Update → Managed in Asana

Delete → Managed in Asana

If you try to:

View task details OR

Add/update anything from Workstatus

You will be redirected to Asana

All new operations will be handled directly in Workstatus

For tasks created during integration:

You cannot edit or update
You cannot delete
You can only mark them as complete

Same task status is in progress in Asana and you again Connect then complete task status will match with Asana task status
