How to Send ARForms Data to Asana
Asana is a project management tool for organizing work and collaborating. If you want ARForms submission synced to Asana, you could pay for a cloud automation service. Or you could do it directly from WordPress. This is the direct route.
Why not just use Zapier?
For connecting ARForms to project management, a cloud automation service adds cost and a dependency on an external server. AFI runs on your site with no task limits.
What you will need
- A WordPress site with ARForms installed and configured.
- A Asana account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect Asana to AFI
Asana uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → Asana, click Authorize and grant access. This is a one-time step.
Setting up the integration
1. Create a new integration
Go to AFI → Add New. Name it ARForms to Asana.
2. Pick your trigger
Select ARForms as the form provider. AFI fires when a form is submitted, giving you access to submitter name, email, phone, and any custom form fields.
3. Select Asana as the destination
Choose Asana from the platform dropdown and pick Create Task. This creates a task in Asana.
4. Map fields
Match each Asana field on the left to the corresponding ARForms field on the right. Common mappings include submitter name, email, phone, and any custom form fields. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}}.
5. Add conditions if needed
Only want to send certain records? Set up a conditional rule based on any field value.
6. Save and test
Click Save Integration. Trigger a test event in ARForms. Check Asana to confirm the data arrived. If anything looks wrong, open AFI → Log to see the exact request and response.
Free vs Pro
The free version maps name, notes, and assignee to Asana with unlimited records. Pro adds custom field mapping and project selection. No per-record fees on any plan.
Frequently asked questions

No. AFI sends data to the destination after the event completes. Your site performance is not affected.
Can I send data to multiple platforms?
Yes. Create a separate integration for each destination, and every record flows to all of them simultaneously.
