Import your data from Asana to Freelo

Switching from Asana to Freelo? The import takes just two steps — generate a token in Asana and paste it into Freelo. You'll transfer your projects along with tasks, solvers, and invited users all at once.

1. Generate a token in Asana

In Asana, go to My settings via your avatar in the upper right corner > Apps > click to View developer console.

On the next page, go to the Personal access tokens section and create a new token via the Create new token button. Check out the detailed procedure below.

2. Import to Freelo

In Freelo, go to Settings via your avatar in the upper right corner > Import & Export > Asana.

Click on the Asana icon and paste the copied token into the box. Then simply click on the Load data for import button. You will see a list of your Asana projects. Select which ones you want to export to Freelo and click Import data.

What happens to the invited users and solvers from Asana?

The imported projects will include all invited users and task solvers. Users with a Freelo account will automatically get access to the projects and will see which tasks they are solvers on. They will not receive any notifications about the project or task assignment.

Users who are not registered in Freelo will appear as invited to the project and as task solvers. They have to register in Freelo to get into the project. They will not receive any automatic message from Freelo. However, you can send them an email invitation directly from a specific project or the All Users section.

Practical use

• Full team migration – import all your projects at once; colleagues with a Freelo account get access automatically
• Gradual transition – import selected projects and keep the rest in Asana until your team is ready to switch completely
• Test run – import one project first and see how Freelo works for your team before committing to the full switch
• Backup from Asana – keep your project data safe outside of Asana in case you need to move quickly
