CONNECTOR · ASANA
Your plan, pushed to Asana in one click.
A connector is the bridge to your work tool. This one turns a Ready plan into Asana tasks: nested, ordered, sized, and set for your team to pick up.
What lands where
Push a Plan and every part of it maps to something native in Asana. No copy and paste, no reformatting.

Review
Pick the Asana project your Plan should land in, or let Plansmith create one. Before anything reaches Asana, you see a preview: how many tasks, and where each Spec lands.

Push
One click. A confirmation appears: "Pushed 14 tasks to Asana." Every Spec keeps a link to its task, so you can jump straight from the plan to the board.
Questions, answered
- What happens if I push the same plan again?
- Plansmith remembers which task belongs to which Spec. A re-push updates the tasks for Specs that changed in Plansmith and creates tasks for new ones. Tasks for unchanged Specs are left alone, and tasks your team created themselves are never touched.
- My Spec tree is four levels deep. What happens?
- It lands four levels deep. Child Specs become subtasks at every level, wired to their direct parent.
- Who needs to connect Asana?
- Whoever clicks Push. Connections are personal, so a teammate who pushes needs their own. Everyone else can still plan, comment on Specs, and export, and they see the tasks appear in Asana.
- Do I need Asana before I start planning?
- No. Plan first, refine until it's Ready, and export it as a document (Markdown) or a spreadsheet (CSV) in the meantime. Connect Asana whenever you want the one-click push.
