“This project challenged us to create a workflow to automatically manage task and sub-task data between HubSpot and Asana. Custom code within Operations Hub was off the table since they needed a code-free, intuitive solution. We opted for an IPaaS tool to bridge the two platforms, as our client was already familiar with such solutions.”

Custom HubSpot-Asana integration
HubSpot, Asana, Tray.io
The creator of a popular social app for tracking physical exercise with over 100 million users across 195 countries. The team consists of 400+ people globally, with headquarters located in San Francisco.
The challenge
The campaign management team solely used Asana, while data about products, deals, and challenges was stored in HubSpot with no direct link between them. This disconnection forced sales reps to manually create tasks and copy data. It led to errors, made it difficult to assign products to challenges, and prevented tracking deal progress on both platforms simultaneously.
Our role & approach
We integrated HubSpot with Asana, using the Tray.io (IPaaS) platform as a bridge. We configured a two-way data flow that automatically generates tasks and sub-tasks in Asana based on deal stages in HubSpot. This ensures all modification updates are immediately synchronized across both systems.
Three areas we focused on
Automatic task creation
Sales reps no longer have to manually copy data from HubSpot to create tasks and sub-tasks in Asana. Tray.io does it for them.
Undisturbed data flow
HubSpot and Asana properties are checked and translated to correspond and keep the database unified.
Easy data verification
The integration automatically matches products with challenges, speeding up the camping launch.
Deliverables & Recommendations
A clear overview of what we did to help drive stronger performance. Each deliverable is designed to support a more effective digital presence, improve the customer journey, and create a scalable foundation for continued growth.
New Asana tasks with sub-tasks
When a deal in HubSpot reaches the 80% pipeline stage, a webhook is sent to Tray.io. The system creates the main task in Asana and sub-tasks for products.
Asana sub-tasks during the challenge
Enables adding new products while the challenge is already live. Changes are mapped and automatically appear as sub-tasks in Asana.
Asana updates
When properties synced with Asana change in HubSpot (e.g., the deal is won), the Asana task changes its status and is moved to the appropriate project.
HubSpot updates
Ensures that modifications made directly in Asana are accurately reflected in HubSpot. It maps the corresponding fields, keeping the data synchronized.
Conclusion
The client's sales teams can now easily collaborate using shared HubSpot and Asana data. We eliminated the hassle of manual data copying and task creation, which translated to saving 50 hours per month and a noticeable drop in campaign errors.
