Socket for Asana Is Now Available

Today, we’re excited to launch Socket for Asana. The new integration turns Socket alerts into assigned, trackable Asana tasks, either one at a time or automatically using ticketing rules. Teams can route each task to the right project, add tags and an assignee, and keep the task and its linked Socket alert in sync as the work moves forward.

The integration removes the manual work of recreating findings in Asana and updating both systems separately, while giving teams control over how alerts enter their projects.

Connect Asana from the Socket dashboard#

An Owner or Admin in your Socket organization can connect an Asana workspace from Settings → Integrations → Asana. Authorization happens through OAuth from the Socket dashboard, with no separate app to install in a third-party admin console.

Once authorization is complete, the connection appears in Socket with the Asana workspace name, who connected it, and its current status.

You can connect multiple Asana workspaces to the same Socket organization, making it easier to send tasks to the projects and teams responsible for resolving them.

Turn any Socket alert into an Asana task#

When an alert needs to be tracked in Asana, open it in the Socket dashboard and click Create Ticket. Select the Asana workspace and project, then add tags and an assignee before creating the task.

Socket links the new Asana task to the original alert. The alert includes a direct link back to Asana, so the people investigating the finding and the people managing the work can move between them without searching for the related task.

Automate task creation with ticketing rules#

For findings that should always reach Asana, automated ticketing rules remove the manual handoff. Rules can create and update Asana tasks when alert events occur across your Socket organization.

Each rule follows a five-step setup:

1. Choose the alert events that trigger the rule.
2. Add conditions to target alerts by type, priority, repository, or other attributes.
3. Select the connected Asana workspace and project.
4. Add tags and assign the task to an Asana user.
5. Choose how the Asana task and Socket alert should update as their status changes.

This gives teams control over what becomes a task and where it goes. A high-priority supply chain alert can be routed directly to the team responsible for investigating it, while lower-priority findings can follow a different workflow.

Keep Asana tasks and Socket alerts in sync#

The integration continues working after a task is created. Socket can update the linked Asana task when the alert changes and mark the task as completed when the alert is cleared.

Updates can flow back to Socket as well. When someone completes the linked task in Asana, Socket can triage-ignore the corresponding alert. That two-way sync keeps both systems current and cuts down on the status cleanup that usually follows remediation work.

Now in Beta#

Ready to bring Asana into your Socket remediation workflow? Socket for Asana is now available in beta on Business and Enterprise plans. To get started, go to Settings → Integrations → Asana in the Socket dashboard and click Connect.

See the Asana integration documentation for complete setup instructions and permissions.
