In this guide, you’ll find everything you need to know about setting up an integration to sync Rovo with Asana using an automated flow from Unito. This integration supports Asana tasks, projects, and portfolios. Since Unito is a completely customizable platform with a no-code interface, you can set up this integration without any technical resources or extensive routine maintenance. No troubleshooting complex automations or relying on expensive consultants, either.

Overview

• Tools: Rovo and Asana
• Use cases: AI agent integration, record syncing
• Great for: Project managers, IT teams, software developers.

Unito’s integration for Rovo and Asana allows users of any technical background,from project managers to software engineers, to sync data from Asana work items to Rovo. This integration also syncs any updates made in Asana to Rovo and automates repetitive actions. This in-depth guide shows you how that’s done.

Why integrate Rovo with other tools?

Rovo is Atlassian’s AI solution for everything from agentic AI to chatbots. It’s natively integrated with Atlassian tools like Jira and Trello, meaning it has access to all the work items and data in these tools. But few workflows exist exclusively in these platforms, and some teams need other dedicated tools.

Integrating Rovo with tools like Asana gives Rovo agents and chatbots access to work happening in tasks, projects, and portfolios. That leads to better answers, more intelligent agents, and automated handoffs between teams.

Step 1: Connect Rovo and Asana to Unito

1. Sign up for Unito.
2. Click +Create Flow in the Unito app.
3. Click Start Here to connect Rovo and Asana.
4. Click +Choose Account for each tool and complete the authorization process.
5. Click Confirm.

Step 2: Choose flow direction for new work items

With flow direction, you decide where Unito automatically creates work items to match those you create manually. For most Unito integrations, you can choose between a two-way flow that creates work items in both tools or a one-way flow that only creates new items in one tool. With Unito’s Rovo integration, you can only build one-way flows that sync data from other tools to Rovo, feeding context to your AI agents and chatbots.

Step 3: Set rules to sync specific Rovo and Asana work items

Unito rules can do two things:

1. Filter out work items you don’t want synced. For example, you could create a rule that only syncs Asana tasks created after a certain date.
2. Automate certain actions, like automatically creating new work items based on triggers in Asana.

To start building your rule, click Add new rule, then choose a trigger and action.

Step 4: Map fields between Rovo and Asana

When you map fields, you pair fields in Rovo with fields in Asana so data goes exactly where it needs to. Unito can usually map most fields automatically, whether they’re exactly the same (Creation Date→Creation Date) or just compatible (Creation Date→CreatedAt). You can also choose to map fields manually to customize your flow.

Here’s what you’ll see when Unito maps your fields automatically.

You can add a field mapping by clicking +Add mapping, then Select a field. When you choose the field you want to map in one tool, Unito will automatically recommend compatible fields in a dropdown under the other tool.

Some fields have a cog icon, meaning you can customize them once they’re mapped. For example, a Satus field can be customized so its options match those in another field.

Step 5: Launch your Rovo-Asana integration

That’s it! Launch your flow, and Unito will automatically sync data from Asana tasks, projects, and portfolios to Rovo, so your AI agents always have maximum context when answering questions or automating tasks. This allows your teams to get more from every AI interaction as they pull data from across all your tools.

FAQ: Rovo-Asana integration

Why should I integrate Rovo with Asana?

Rovo is Atlassian’s AI solution, meant to give users in Jira, Trello access to AI tools like chatbots and agents. Because it’s integrated right into these tools, Rovo automatically pulls data from Jira issues, Trello cards, and more. This allows you to train them on your data, get better answers, and streamline handoffs between teams.

But if your organization works with other tools, Rovo doesn’t have access to this data by default. If your teams do any work in Asana, your Rovo chatbots are losing out on essential context while AI agents can’t interact with anything happening in an Asana task. By integrating Rovo with Asana, you can fix these problems.

What’s the best way to integrate Rovo and Asana?

Atlassian offers pre-built connectors for Rovo that work with many tools, including Asana. But these connectors aren’t always as deep as you need them to be, meaning Rovo only has access to some of the context in these tools.

Unito’s integrations are some of the deepest on the market, supporting tools from project management apps to ITSM tools and databases. That makes Unito one of the best ways to integrate Rovo and Asana.
