Move your Asana projects into Fareeqy
Export, upload, read the preview, confirm. Your tasks, their sections and their assignees arrive as you left them.
Importing is available on paid plans and during the free trial, 14 days with no credit card
Your Asana project may have started with clear tasks and a few Sections. Then came rules, custom fields, subtasks nested inside other tasks, and Portfolios for the wider view. Over time, someone had to maintain the system itself even though the team mainly needed to know what was due and who owned it. When managing the structure becomes a job of its own, the complexity no longer serves the project; it becomes the reason people postpone updating it.
Export each project as JSON and upload the files together. We read Sections as task lists, keep each Task in its Section, and lift Subtasks into ordinary tasks so their dates, assignees, and completion states remain actionable. Tag names and custom-field values are written into the notes instead of disappearing, while the page tells you that Asana's interface export does not contain comments.
The result? Your team keeps the work it must deliver, leaves behind the management layers it no longer needs, and knows exactly where the Asana discussions will remain. Every Subtask appears as actionable work rather than a buried bullet, each Custom field value sits beside the description it explains, and you choose whether Sections or Assignee names fit the new follow-up. Portfolios and rules never become hidden promises, and no project arrives incomplete without an explanation.
What becomes what
Fareeqy has three levels and no fourth: project, task list, task.
| Asana | Fareeqy |
|---|---|
| Project | Project |
| Section | Task list |
| Task | Task |
| Subtask | An ordinary task in its parent's Section |
| Task tags | A line in the task notes |
| Custom fields | A named-value list in the notes |
What may surprise you about Asana
Asana Portfolios do not become portfolio records in Fareeqy. The JSON import reads the projects inside the files you upload, creating each one independently with its Sections and Tasks. Portfolio membership, portfolio status, and portfolio-level organization are not recreated, so export every project you want to move rather than treating the Portfolio as the transferable container.
How to export from Asana
A single project
Open the project in Asana, then from the arrow beside its name:
Export/Print → JSON
Asana exports one project at a time, so repeat it per project and add the files together in one upload.
Accepted formats: JSON, or ZIP. You can upload several files together in one go.
What comes across, and what does not
Comes across
- Tasks with their names and descriptions
- Due dates and completion state
- Assignees, and the preview asks you who each one is on your team
- Subtasks, as ordinary tasks in the same list
- Sections, as task lists
Does not come across
- Comments from the in-app export, which does not carry them. A JSON file pulled from the Asana API brings its comments across.
- Files you uploaded inside the tool itself. Their bytes are not in the export at all, and fetching them would need your credentials for that account. Links do come across, inside the task's notes.
- Custom fields and rules, which have no counterpart in Fareeqy.
Before you start
JSON export needs Asana Starter or above. Subtasks arrive as ordinary tasks, because each carries an assignee, a date and a state, all of which would be lost as a line inside another task's description.
How the import runs
Nothing is written until you approve it
Upload the file and we read it, then show you exactly what would be created: how many projects, task lists and tasks, every title we would have to rename, and every person on your board. Only the confirm button creates data.
Duplicate titles are settled in front of you
Your board has three cards called Follow up, and the board's own name may already belong to a project you made last year. We rename, and every rename is on screen before you confirm, not after.
Upload the same export again safely
Re-exported after another week of work? Upload it again. What you imported before keeps your edits, and only what is new is added. This is a migration tool, not a two-way sync, so an import never overwrites what you changed inside Fareeqy.
The file stays yours
Delete it from the import page whenever you want. Forget about it and we delete it automatically after 30 days.
Frequently asked questions
Do Asana comments come across?
What happens to subtasks?
Do I need a paid Asana plan to export?
Can I group Asana tasks by assignee instead of Section?
Yes. The default turns each Asana Section into a task list because that preserves the structure your team already knows. Choose assignee on the upload screen instead and every person's tasks are gathered into a list bearing that name, with unassigned work placed in its own clearly named list. If the preview is not useful, change the grouping there and the file is parsed again without writing a project to your account.
This choice does not replace the project or remove a Task; it changes only the middle level. With Section grouping, the parser keeps membership recorded by Asana whether it appears on the Task itself or through nesting under a Section in JSON. With assignee grouping, every Task's own owner is read separately. Two Tasks that shared one Section can therefore enter different lists when different people own them.
Grouping does not alter other Asana fields. The importer reads due_at when a timed deadline exists or due_on for a date-only deadline, and keeps completed_at when the export provides it. If a Task says it is complete without carrying that time, the reader falls back to created_at before using migration time. Assignee remains an Asana reference that you match to a member in the preview, so rearranging lists cannot become a fresh guess about who owns the work.
Subtasks participate as well. The importer expands nested Subtasks recursively, even when one child contains another, then makes each an ordinary task under its parent's Section when Section is selected. Assignee grouping instead places a Subtask with its own owner, not automatically with the parent Task's owner. Its completion state and due date stay actionable rather than becoming a bullet inside another description. Compare the list counts in both previews before committing to the structure your team will use.
How does Fareeqy keep Asana custom fields?
The importer does not recreate Asana Custom fields as new Fareeqy fields, but it does not erase their meaning. For every field that has a value, it writes the field name and displayed value as a readable list inside the task notes, after the description your team wrote. Information such as a request type or internal stage therefore remains visible without pretending that Asana's customizable field system moved over unchanged.
The parser uses the displayed value present in the export. When a field is an enum, it takes the selected enum_value name. Empty fields add no blank lines to clutter the notes. Tags remain in a separate named line, allowing a reader to distinguish a tag the team applied from a Custom field with its own name and value. The original Task description leads all of this content, so imported context cannot masquerade as text your team authored.
What does not cross is field behavior. An Asana rule that changes a Custom field, a condition that moves a Task when that value changes, or a Portfolio organized around it is not replayed in Fareeqy. The readable meaning in the JSON arrives, not the automation system around it. After migration, review the task and select a Fareeqy priority or assignee explicitly rather than having an importer turn a custom value into a decision you never requested.
