Why Connect Asana to Deputy?

Asana limitations compound the integration challenge: no built-in time tracking - teams need to integrate with Harvest, Toggl, or similar tools for billable hour tracking

Asana uses a REST API while Deputy uses REST + Webhook, requiring careful middleware to translate data formats between the two platforms

Deputy adds complexity: integration with accounting platforms like Xero and MYOB works well, but real-time sync can occasionally lag behind by several hours

Student enrolment data in Asana and billing records in Deputy are managed separately, causing discrepancies

New team members take longer to onboard because they must learn manual workarounds to keep Asana and Deputy aligned

No single source of truth when tasks live in two disconnected tools, so staff second-guess which system has the correct information

How We Help

Every week without this integration costs your Professional Services and Education business 8+ hours/week in manual data handling between Asana and Deputy. Our Harvard-educated consultants build a sync that eliminates that waste permanently. On the technical side, Asana uses a REST API with OAuth authentication, and Deputy authenticates via OAuth, which our team handles as part of the build.

Eliminate Manual Data Entry

Stop copying tasks between Asana and Deputy by hand. Our integration syncs data automatically, saving your team 8+ hours/week.

Scalable Without Extra Headcount

As your data volume grows, the integration scales with you. No need to hire additional admin staff to keep Asana and Deputy in sync, even as your business doubles.

Amplify Asana Strengths

Asana excels because timeline view and workload management provide genuine resource planning capabilities that help managers balance team capacity. Connecting it to Deputy ensures that advantage flows through your entire workflow rather than staying siloed in one tool.

Custom-Built for Your Workflow

Unlike generic connectors, we build integrations tailored to how your business actually uses Asana and Deputy. Custom field mappings, business rules, and error handling included.
