# Connect Asana

Connect Asana so a Project or Metric goal tracks completed tasks in an Asana project.

Connect Asana so a project goal moves as tasks are completed.

## What you get from Asana {#what-you-get}

- Goal progress from completed tasks in an Asana project.
- The project's tasks listed on the goal page.

## Connect Asana {#connect}

1. In Settings, click **Connections**, then type Asana in **Search connections**.
2. On its row, click **Connect**. The row may say Operator access: auto-track uses that same connection.
3. Sign in to Asana and approve access.

> **Tip: Success check**
>
> The Asana row shows a **Connected** badge.

## Track an Asana project {#track}

A new Asana connection tracks through [Describe a value](https://help.brev.io/connecting-an-integration/#agent-built-auto-track), where you say the number you want in words. The item picker below appears only on a Asana connection made before that change.

1. Open a Project or Metric goal and click **Auto-track**. Under **Ready to track**, pick Asana.
2. If the dialog opens on **Describe a value in Asana**, say what to measure, check the preview and today's value, then click **Connect**. That finishes the task. Otherwise, continue with the next step.
3. Pick the project and click **Continue**.
4. Under **Track progress**, pick one. A Project goal offers **Completed tasks**. A Metric offers Tasks completed, as a count or a percent.
5. Next to **Connect**, pick how often to refresh: Every 30 minutes (the default), Hourly, Every 4 hours, Daily or Weekly. Then click **Connect**.

> The goal shows the Asana icon on its connection, and its value updates without a check-in from you.

## After you connect Asana {#what-happens-next}

Brev reads the value at the frequency you picked. At Every 30 minutes, it reads every 30 minutes from 7 AM to 7 PM on weekdays (Sydney, New York or San Francisco time). Otherwise, it reads every 4 hours.

- To read it now, click the refresh icon on the goal's connection. An unchanged value adds no check-in.
- To see what it reads, hover over the connection or click its gear. The gear also changes the frequency.
- You can still add your own check-ins, for example to explain a change.

On a Project goal, the goal page also lists the tracked project's issues, each with its status.
