Many organizations use Asana to organize, track, and manage their work across teams. Integrating Asana with Document360 allows you to streamline task management and ensure alignment between your documentation efforts and Knowledge base updates.

Automating this process ensures efficiency and accuracy, reducing the risk of mishaps while maintaining a seamless content workflow.

  1. Ensure that you have logged into your Zapier account.

  2. From the left navigation menu, click Create and then click Zaps from the options available.
