asana-new-logoAsana is a popular productivity tool that helps teams track work the most efficient way. Teams are able to collaborate and stay on the same page, saving time while doing more work. However, every business is unique. Each organization has requirements that are rarely served by only one tool. The solution is in integration. Integration with other productivity, communication and reporting apps make it possible to satisfy work requirements effectively. Users do not need to switch between applications. Also, they can keep information in one place.

Tracking Work Easier with Integrations

Asana integrations enable users to track projects and teams easily by allowing them to use their favorite tools for their specific needs. Some of the most popular integrations are:

  • Slack
  • Dropbox
  • Google Apps

Some of the integrations were made by Asana due to feedback and requests such as mobile apps for iOS, iPad and Android, Chrome extension, Box and others. Partners build the others such as HipChat, SupportBee, GitHub, and InstaGantt, among others. New ones are periodically added to as growing the platform remains a priority.
