Setting up Asana as a Source
Guru’s Asana integration allows you to connect your project management content as a Source, enabling Guru to generate Answers using tasks and projects from Asana workspaces. Asana is supported as a Project Management Source.
Access Required
Guru Access: You must be a Workspace Admin in Guru to add and manage Sources.

Frequently asked questions about Asana
What kind of questions can I ask?
Once connected, Guru can use your Asana data to answer questions like:
- “What are the open tasks for the Q2 roadmap?”
- “What’s the status of the website redesign project?”
- “Who’s assigned to customer onboarding tasks?”
Answers will include links back to the relevant Asana Projects or Tasks cited.
Can I connect multiple Projects or Workspaces?
Yes. Each Source connection supports one Workspace. To connect multiple, repeat the setup process for each Workspace or subset of Projects.
Do permissions sync from Asana?
No. Guru does not import Asana user permissions. Use Guru Groups to manage access.
What’s the sync frequency?
Asana content is synced every 15 minutes.
