A request retyped, twice
Two people each opened an issue for the same task.
Asana to GitHub automation for teams that take requests in Asana and build in GitHub
Asana to GitHub automation that turns engineering requests into one issue each, maps priority to labels and writes the issue number back onto the task
Asana to GitHub automation bridges the people who ask for work and the people who build it. Requests live as Asana tasks with custom fields for priority and type; developers want issues with labels and an owner. GitHub ignores labels, assignees and milestone when the token lacks push access, and limits content creation to 80 requests a minute. BoldBellows registers each event with its project, its section and its task identifiers, recognises a repeated event by its resource and time the moment it arrives, then opens one issue per ready request and writes its number back to the task.

B2Before and after
Requests in one tool and work in another means asking for status twice
Product and operations raise requests in Asana, with a priority and a type. Developers live in GitHub. Someone retypes each request as an issue, sometimes twice, and loses the priority on the way. When it ships, nobody updates the task, so the requester keeps asking where it is, and a token without push access quietly drops the labels the issue needed.
Sound familiar?
Priority lost
The custom field never became a label.
Labels dropped quietly
The token lacked push access and GitHub ignored them.
A requester left asking
The task never showed which issue it became.
An issue with no owner
The Asana assignee had no mapped GitHub login.
A burst GitHub refused
Creating many issues at once hit a secondary rate limit.
Asana requests that become issues and report back
Before
- A second delivery makes a second issue
- Requests are retyped as issues
- The task never learns its issue number
After
- GitHub recognises its own work through an Asana task GID kept in each issue and the issue number kept on the task
- A ready request opens its issue once
- The issue number sits on the Asana task
D4How it works
How an Asana request becomes one GitHub issue with its number written back
An event becomes an issue in three stages, each with its own evidence.
1. Judge before acting
Before anything is prepared for GitHub, the Asana task event is checked against the agreed admission rule.
2. Verify, qualify, search
The signature is checked, the task is confirmed to be in the ready section, and GitHub is searched for an issue that already carries its GID.
3. Create, map, write back
The issue is created with labels from the priority field and an owner from the people map, and its number goes back into an Asana custom field.
E5Inside your repository
Seven working parts inside the Asana to GitHub route
The route grows in three steps: Basic, then Branch, then Guardian.
Basic
Event triage
Looks at each Asana task event and chooses between act, wait and discard, with notes.
Basic
Stable identity ledger
Turns an Asana record into a traceable GitHub entry by storing both identities together.
Basic
Approved-fields list
Keeps one reviewed list of fields that may reach GitHub and refuses additions without sign-off.
Branch
Issue builder
Creates the issue with a title, a body built from the task and its subtasks, and a hidden task GID.
Branch
Task-GID matcher
Finds the existing issue through an Asana task GID kept in each issue and the issue number kept on the task, or proves there is none.
Branch
Priority and owner map
Translates Asana custom-field values and assignees into GitHub labels and logins, and flags any with no match.
Guardian
Issue register
Tracks mismatches between Asana and GitHub until someone closes them.
Guardian
Repository change watch
Notices a disabled issue tracker, a renamed label or a lost permission before creates start to fail.
Guardian
Operations board
Gives the team one place to see blocked work between Asana and GitHub.
Create github issue from Asana task or Asana to github without Zapier, plus Asana to github implementation: it is all in scope.

G7Who it is for
Aimed at non-profits coordinating programmes in Asana that want to hand engineering requests from Asana to developers in GitHub
Asana is where requests are made; GitHub is where they are built, and each should know the other's number.
Operations manager
"I raise requests; I want to see them built."
The issue number returns to your task as soon as it exists.
Engineering lead
"Issues must arrive labelled and owned."
Labels and assignees are verified against push access before creation.
Repository admin
"No spam, please."
Creation is paced below GitHub's content limits and capped per hour.
Developer
"I need the request's detail."
The task description, subtasks and attachments' links arrive in the issue.
Agency lead
"Each client has a repository."
Each Asana project maps to its own repository, so nothing crosses clients.
Founder
"I want one answer to 'where is it'."
The task and the issue point at each other.

I9Your options
What a link pasted between the two, a zap and a request-to-issue route each do for GitHub
Each can open an issue. Only one opens one and tells the task.
| What prompts a write | a link pasted between the two | A quick zap into GitHub | BoldBellows route: request-to-issue route |
|---|---|---|---|
| What starts the work | An admin on a busy day | Anything the trigger matches | Only changes on your in-scope list |
| How identity is decided | Checked against old notes | A lookup that may return several | A task GID in the issue and the issue number on the task |
| What reaches GitHub | A handwritten note turned digital | The default field set | One issue per ready request, with the number written back |
| After an uncertain result | An email thread to sort it out | Fails quietly | Uses an Asana task GID kept in each issue and the issue number kept on the task to settle what already exists |
A slow event catches up
A late Asana notice is compared with the stored checkpoint; anything older than the current issue is closed with a note.
A request is moved out of the ready section after its issue was created
The issue is left alone, the task keeps its issue number, and the move is noted so nothing is created or closed by surprise. It searches GitHub on an Asana task GID kept in each issue and the issue number kept on the task, weighs what it finds against the plan and logs the verdict. Only when nothing is found does the route make a new issue.
An Asana task GID kept in each issue and the issue number kept on the task links each Asana record to its GitHub issue for the life of the route.

J11The process
From ask to issue in six steps
Six steps, named outputs, and a review after go-live.
-
Day 1
Choose the ready section
We name the section or custom-field value that means a request is ready, the repository for each project and who owns each kind of issue.
-
Access review
Approve access
We connect to the Asana data in scope and to GitHub, and agree the identifiers the route will store.
-
Build phase
Agree the priority and owner map
We fix which priority becomes which label, who maps to which login, how milestones are chosen and where the number is written.
-
Before you review
Try the awkward records
Unusual, incomplete and repeated records are run through a test GitHub so the route's answers are known.
-
Release day
Launch with notes
Handover closes the project: a live route, a checkpoint to prove it, and documentation to run it.
-
Day 1
First-month watch
With Asana to GitHub in place, the opening weeks are monitored for retries, delays and mismatches, and the results are summarised for you.
K12Turnaround
Days to delivery, package by package
With Asana to GitHub in place, the schedule assumes credentials arrive in the first day or two.
Basic
6 to 10 business days
Branch
10 to 16 business days
Guardian
16 to 24 business days
L13Getting started

M14Safety and ownership
Access you can revoke, data you can name
On this Asana to GitHub route, no product code is patched and no bulk export is made.
Clean separation
Asana keeps doing what it does and GitHub keeps doing what it does; the connection between them is the only new thing.
Scoped, revocable access
Connections are restricted to the objects on the approved list.
Allowlist, not blocklist
New fields in Asana do not flow into GitHub until someone adds them to the map on purpose.
Idempotent by design
The same event processed twice gives the same result in GitHub, because an Asana task GID kept in each issue and the issue number kept on the task decides create or update.
Minimal logging
Only technical identifiers reach the run history.
Full handover
The finished route and its explanation are delivered together.

P16FAQ
Asana, GitHub and delivery: questions from operations and engineering
The essentials in question-and-answer form, with room for your own in the quote request.
Should we just use an Asana to GitHub Zapier recipe?
An issue for every task is something a zap does well. It does not create one issue per request, map priority and owners without silent loss and honour GitHub's content limits. If those matter to you, the build is the right fit; if not, we will say a zap is enough.
How do I turn Asana requests into GitHub issues?
A task entering the ready section becomes one issue in the repository you choose, with its priority as a label, its owner as an assignee and its detail in the body.
Will the task show which issue it became?
Yes. The issue number and link are written into a custom field on the task, so requesters can see the status of the work.
What stops duplicate issues?
The task GID is stored in the issue and searched before anything is created, so a repeated event finds the issue that exists.
Why might GitHub drop labels or assignees?
Without push access GitHub silently ignores them on a new issue. The route checks the token's access first and flags anything it cannot set.
Can past requests become issues?
Yes. Ready tasks from before launch are created in small checkpointed batches, each checked for an existing issue first.
Do GitHub changes edit the Asana task?
Only the issue number field is written back. Titles, descriptions and status stay under Asana's control.
What does the mapping document contain?
A signed-off Asana GitHub field mapping service output is required before we write to GitHub.
Can the route branch on region, value or stage on the Asana to GitHub route?
Yes. Your rules decide what moves, so the route becomes a custom Asana workflow for GitHub. An Asana GitHub integration consultant's advice comes with it, from $880.
Will I be told if something stops working in the Asana to GitHub route?
Dependencies are listed at handover. A breaking change pauses just the part it touches and alerts your owner, and post-review fixes are quoted separately. Related searches this service covers include custom asana to github automation.
