The sales team can see the implementation process even after the project is completed.

• Improve the Customer Experience

With Salesforce and Asana Integration, users can provide an exceptional customer experience. The integration improves customer relationships by automatically triggering customer implementation or inviting onboarding work through customizable project templates.

It is possible to link the implementation and service teams with all supporting groups using the Salesforce Service Cloud. Customer handoff is more efficient as a result of improved collaboration.

• Workflow Automation

The Salesforce Process Builder can be used to create new projects and tasks in Asana automatically. At the same time, the integration allows projects to be transferred automatically between the sales and follow-up teams once they are completed. The process builder can be used to start the implementation process as soon as the project is finished. Users can create custom handoff procedures to meet their specific requirements.

• Maintain Consistency

As tasks in Asana progress, the Opportunity stage changes in lockstep. In Salesforce, the information is updated under the relevant Asana Task. In Salesforce, the opportunity owner is also updated.

Salesforce and Asana integration keep everyone on the same page in this way.

• How to Connect Salesforce and Asana to a GAP Platform

The native Salesforce for Asana integration provides a dependable and straightforward way to transfer data between apps. But what if you need to handle more complex processes than simple data synchronization? What if you need to perform complex operations like combining data from multiple sources, scheduling time intervals, including data in custom fields, bulk updating, and so on? Unfortunately, native integrations may be insufficient to meet these needs due to their limited functionality.

Let’s say you want to automatically sync only specific fields whenever you update a Salesforce record. Alternatively, whenever you update tasks in Asana, you must add or remove Salesforce records in bulk. Perhaps you need to sync data bi-directionally between Asana and Salesforce and various other applications. The native Salesforce for Asana integration will not suffice in these scenarios.

Teams at leading firms are turning to General Automation Platforms to handle more advanced integration use cases (GAP). A GAP is a low-code platform that allows business users of any technical skill level to create powerful integrations quickly. Anyone can promptly build API-level integrations between any number of applications using a GAP’s visual, drag-and-drop interface. A GAP can also be used to efficiently orchestrate powerful, multi-step automation that starts various operations in response to any custom trigger. You can save hours of manual labor, increase productivity, and scale mission-critical processes with a GAP.

Here’s an example of a GAP in action, orchestrating Asana-Salesforce automation involving multiple tools and operations while standing up custom integrations with ease. This workflow shows how to align your sales and post-sales teams by using a mix of pre-built connectors, logic-based operators, and data helpers to take control of your Asana and Salesforce data.
