October 2021link

Our Asana connector now uses multithreading when syncing projects. To avoid exceeding API rate limits, we use 3 parallel threads for Asana Basic accounts and 10 parallel threads for Asana Premium, Business, and Enterprise accounts.

July 2021link

Now we use the Asana Batch API during the initial sync. According to our benchmarks, the initial sync time was reduced, on average, by 40%. We are gradually rolling out this feature.

We have added custom fields for the PROJECT table.

We have added the following tables:

• PORTFOLIO
• PORTFOLIO_MEMBER
• PORTFOLIO_ITEM

IMPORTANT: The current API user should be the owner of the portfolios to sync the tables. Portfolios are available to Asana Business and Asana Enterprise customers. If you are not on any these plans, we cannot sync project-level custom fields and portfolio-related tables.
