How do I connect a project to Asana, Trello or ClickUp?
The connection is made per project from the row menu. Asana and Trello import tasks; ClickUp connects but does not import them yet, and Monday and Jira are not supported.

If your tasks already live in another tool, a Worktivity project can pull them in instead of you typing them twice. The connection is made per project, from the Integrations menu on the project's row under Task tracking, then Projects.
What actually works today
- Asana: connects and imports tasks.
- Trello: connects and imports tasks.
- ClickUp: connects and lets you choose a folder, but tasks are not imported yet. The menu says so before you start, so the empty task list is not a fault you need to chase.
- Monday and Jira: listed in the menu but switched off. They are not supported yet, and the entries stay visible so the menu does not misrepresent what Worktivity plans to do.
Connecting
- Open the row menu on the project and choose Integrations.
- Choose Connect with and the provider. The browser leaves Worktivity for the provider's own approval screen.
- Approve the access there. You come back to the projects screen.
- Choose what to import. Asana asks for a workspace, then a project. ClickUp asks for a workspace, then a folder. Trello asks for a board in one step.
Only owners and co-owners can start a connection and choose what to import. Syncing and disconnecting also work for a manager who may create and edit projects.
After it is connected
- Tasks arrive as soon as you pick the target. The row shows when they were last synced.
- Sync tasks now in the same menu pulls the current state again.
- If you approved the access but closed the window before picking a target, the connection is half made: nothing is imported and the menu offers Choose what to import until you finish.
- Nothing is written back. Worktivity reads from the provider and never changes anything there.
Disconnecting
Disconnect clears the link and the stored authorisation together. Tasks that were already imported stay in Worktivity and keep their tracked hours; they only stop updating. Reconnecting later means going through the provider's approval screen again.
A provider that reads Not set up on this environment is missing its credentials on this installation. Nothing you can fix from the screen; an owner has to add them on the server.
Creating the project comes first, and tasks can always be created by hand alongside imported ones.
