You can connect Asana and Float using Zapier (no code required). Once connected, you can automate how data moves between the two tools in either direction: from Asana into Float, or from Float back into Asana.
Setting up the integration
To set up your Zapier connection, you will need:
Access to the Float Account Owner account.
An Asana account with the relevant project access.
A Zapier account. Check Zapier's pricing page for current plan limits and features. Some automation patterns require a paid plan.
Zapier templates for Asana and Float
The fastest way to get started is with one of Float's pre-made Zapier templates with pre-configured options for common workflows. View templates for the Float–Asana connection.
With templates, you can:
Creating your own Zaps
Use Zapier Copilot
With Zapier Copilot, you can describe the workflow you want in plain language, for example, "when a new project is created in Asana, create a matching project in Float," and Copilot drafts the Zap for you, including field mappings. Review it, connect your accounts, and turn it on.
Build manually
If you prefer to configure the Zap yourself:
Open zapier.com/apps/asana/integrations/float and click Connect these apps.
Connect your Asana account using your Asana login details.
Choose your trigger — the event that kicks off the automation. Triggers can run in either direction: start from an Asana event (such as a new task or project status change) to update something in Float, or start from a Float event (such as a new project or updated allocation) to push data back into Asana.
Connect your Float account — you will need to sign in as the Account Owner.
Define the action — what should happen in the destination tool when the trigger fires, such as creating a project or adding a person.
Run a test to confirm data is flowing correctly, then turn the Zap on.
Advanced settings
For more complex integrations, you can:
Retrieve IDs via the APIs of both platforms.
Use Zapier's Test step to verify field mappings.
Use Zapier Tables or custom fields in Asana to maintain accurate mappings across systems.
📝Note: The Float API documentation is available at developer.float.com. You can use API endpoints to create and update projects, people, and allocations in Float as part of your Zap workflow.
