  2. At the top of the project page, select the chevron icon to the right of the project name

  3. From the list of options, hover over Export or sync, then select Project tasks CSV/XLSX

FAQs

Can I export and import an entire Asana workspace at once?

At this time, you can only export one project at a time from Asana. Therefore, you will need to export each Asana project individually. You can then upload multiple CSV files at once via the importer in Coda.

If it is not feasible to export each project individually due to the quantity of data in Asana, our team may be able to help. Please contact Coda Support to learn more.

Can I sync my data between Asana and Coda, rather than importing it?

Yes, if you wish to simply view a version of your Asana data in Coda, you can use the Asana Pack. This Pack allows you to pull your Asana projects into your Coda docs for easy viewing. Learn more here.
