# **Asana**
When tasks are marked done in Asana, Rinkta picks them up — estimated by AI and added to the client's billing queue automatically.
## Overview
Rinkta turns completed Asana tasks into billable hours. AI reads task descriptions, figures out how long the work took, and creates billing entries automatically. No timesheets to fill out, no hours to reconstruct. Your team finishes tasks in Asana and Rinkta handles the rest.
## How it works
Rinkta connects to your Asana workspace with a single authorization. Once connected, it monitors task completions across all your projects in real time.
A task gets marked complete. Rinkta's AI reads the description and activity to understand what was delivered. It calculates a time estimate based on the work described, logs it as a billing entry, and links it to the appropriate client and project. This entire sequence takes seconds.
Estimates come from actual task content, not guesswork. Adjust them in Rinkta if needed. The tedious part is already finished.
Before you connect Asana, you'll set up clients and projects in Rinkta. Map your Asana projects to these Rinkta projects and completed tasks start flowing to the right client accounts immediately. No manual assignment, no tags to maintain, no mystery about which Asana project ties to which invoice.
## Configure
Workspace administrators authenticate via OAuth2 in Rinkta settings. Select your Asana workspace, approve project permissions, and Rinkta registers webhook endpoints for task completion events.
Webhooks trigger when tasks move to completed status. AI processes task descriptions and activity logs to generate time estimates that post to mapped Rinkta projects.
Map Asana projects to Rinkta projects at the workspace level. Completed tasks route to client accounts based on these mappings. Webhook events fire in real time, so billing entries appear immediately after tasks are marked complete.
**FAQ**
## **Asana integration FAQ**
Common questions about turning completed Asana tasks into billable hours with Rinkta.
Can I track billable hours from Asana automatically?
◀
Yes. Rinkta's Asana integration logs hours every time a task is marked complete in Asana. AI reads the task name, description, and activity to estimate how long the work took, then creates a billing entry tied to the right Asana project and Rinkta client. There's no Asana time tracking add-on to configure and no timesheet to fill.
---
How does Rinkta capture work from Asana tasks?
◀
When a task moves to Completed in Asana, a webhook fires to Rinkta. AI parses the task body and recent activity to identify the deliverable, calculates a time estimate from the scope described, and posts a billing entry to the Rinkta project mapped to that Asana project. The whole sequence finishes in seconds.
---
What permissions does Rinkta need from Asana?
◀
The Asana integration uses OAuth2 and asks for read access to your workspace, projects, and task events. Rinkta installs webhook endpoints for task completion events on the projects you map. No write access to Asana is required — the integration only reads completed work.
---
Does the Asana integration work for agencies and freelancers?
◀
Both. Agencies typically map per-client Asana projects (Acme Website, Smith Rebrand) to Rinkta projects so completed Asana tasks land on the correct invoice. Freelancers map their working projects directly. Either way, every completed task becomes a billable hour without manual sorting.
---
How accurate are AI time estimates from Asana tasks?
◀
Estimates come from what the task actually describes — the title, the scope laid out in the description, and the activity log — not arbitrary blocks of time. If an estimate looks off for a given task, you can adjust it in Rinkta before invoicing. Most agencies find the estimates close enough that they only adjust outliers.
---
How is this different from Asana's built-in time tracking?
◀
Asana's built-in time tracking still asks someone to start a timer or enter hours. Rinkta's Asana integration captures hours from work that's already been completed in Asana — no timer, no manual entry, no end-of-week reconstruction. Hours appear automatically as tasks ship.
