How to connect Asana to QuickBooks
Follow these steps to set up your integration. The entire process takes under 5 minutes.
What you'll need
- An active Asana account
- An active QuickBooks account
- A free DeskFerry account (sign up takes 30 seconds)
- Admin or API access in QuickBooks to authorize the connection
- Step 01
Create your DeskFerry account
Sign up at deskferry.app — it takes 30 seconds and starts a 7-day free trial. You'll land on the dashboard where you can create your first workflow.
- Step 02
Authenticate Asana
Click "Add Connection" and select Asana from the app directory. You'll be redirected to Asana's authorization page. Grant DeskFerry access to your workspaces, databases, pages, and tasks. You select which workspaces the integration can read and write to.
- Step 03
Authenticate QuickBooks
Same process for QuickBooks. Click "Add Connection," select QuickBooks, and authorize access. Grant DeskFerry access to your orders, products, and customer data. You choose which store data the integration can read.
- Step 04
Choose your trigger
Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: new item created in asana or new order placed in quickbooks. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.
- Step 05
Configure the action
Define what happens when the trigger fires. For example: create order in quickbooks. Map the data fields between Asana and QuickBooks so the right information lands in the right place.
- Step 06
Test and activate

How do I connect Asana to QuickBooks?

DeskFerry's 7-day free trial is enough to prove the workflow out. If your Asana-to-QuickBooks workflows need more volume, paid plans start at $49/month with unlimited workflows and priority execution.
Is my Asana data secure when connected to QuickBooks?
Yes. DeskFerry uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your Asana or QuickBooks passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your productivity data is only accessed when a workflow runs, and you can revoke access at any time from your DeskFerry dashboard.
Can I sync data both ways between Asana and QuickBooks?
Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either Asana or QuickBooks. For example, create a workflow where Asana events update QuickBooks, and a separate one where QuickBooks changes sync back to Asana. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.
Do I need technical skills to connect Asana and QuickBooks?
No coding is required. DeskFerry's builder is prompt-based: you describe the trigger and what should happen in plain English, and the agent handles the field mapping. If you can use Asana and QuickBooks, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
