Overview
Moving from 24SevenOffice to Asana is a scope reduction as much as a platform migration. 24SevenOffice bundles ERP, CRM, project management, and invoicing into one subscription; Asana is a dedicated task and project management tool without native accounting, invoicing, or AP/AR. We migrate what Asana natively represents—Projects, Tasks, Subtasks, Time Entries (as custom fields), Attachments, and Users—and flag the accounting data boundary clearly. We do not migrate Invoices, Deals, Companies (CRM), or AP/AR records because Asana has no equivalent object model; we deliver a written inventory of those records for the customer's finance team. 24SevenOffice's lack of a documented bulk export endpoint means extraction runs through iterative REST calls per object type, which we paginate and cache to avoid rate-limit stalls. Custom fields on 24SevenOffice tasks require explicit type mapping against Asana's supported field types (text, number, dropdown) and its 20-field per-project ceiling. Workflows, automations, and notification rules built in 24SevenOffice do not migrate; we document them for the customer's admin to rebuild using Asana Rules.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a 24SevenOffice object lands in Asana, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
24SevenOffice
Project
Asana
Project
1:124SevenOffice Projects map directly to Asana Projects. We migrate project name, description, status (active/archived), start and due dates, owner, budget, and milestones. Asana's project privacy settings (public/private) default to the source project's visibility flag. Projects are extracted first so that their GIDs are available as parent references for Task imports. 24SevenOffice's PMI-standard alignment does not require special mapping to Asana's simpler project model.
24SevenOffice
Task
Asana
Task
1:124SevenOffice Tasks and Subtasks migrate to Asana Tasks and Subtasks with parent-child hierarchy preserved through the subtasks relationship. We map title, description, status, assignee (via owner lookup), due date, estimated hours, and custom task fields. 24SevenOffice task hierarchy depth migrates as nested subtasks; if hierarchy depth exceeds Asana's subtask nesting model, we flatten to a maximum of three levels and flag the remainder for the customer to restructure. Custom fields on tasks are mapped individually against Asana's supported types (text, number, dropdown).
24SevenOffice
Time Entry
Asana
Custom Number Field on Task
1:many24SevenOffice Time Entries (with project, user, date, duration, billable flag, and description) do not have a native Asana equivalent. We split each Time Entry into: (a) a custom number field on the linked Task capturing hours (duration converted to hours), and (b) a text custom field storing the date and description. Billable flag is stored as a custom dropdown field with values Billable / Non-Billable / No Charge. For customers with billing workflows tied to time entries, we recommend a separate time-tracking integration (Harvest, Toggl) post-migration rather than recreating a full time-entry data model in Asana.
24SevenOffice
User
Asana
Member (Workspace User)
1:124SevenOffice User accounts (name, email, role, module permissions) map to Asana Workspace Members. We resolve users by email match and set Asana workspace membership and default workspace. If a 24SevenOffice user has been deactivated, we import them as an Asana Member with the inactive flag set. Role names differ significantly between the two platforms, so we flag the role mapping for the customer's admin to assign appropriate Asana permissions (Member, Admin, Guest) post-import.
24SevenOffice
Contact (CRM Module)
Asana
Out of scope
lossy24SevenOffice CRM Contacts have no Asana equivalent. Asana does not have a native Contact or Account object. We flag Contacts as out-of-scope for this migration and deliver a written data extract (CSV) of all Contact records including name, email, phone, address, lifecycle stage, and owner for the customer's admin to import into a dedicated CRM or address management tool. We do not convert Contacts to Asana Tasks as a workaround because that breaks the data model.
24SevenOffice
Company (CRM Module)
Asana
Out of scope
lossy24SevenOffice Company/Organization records have no Asana equivalent. Asana is not a CRM. We deliver a written data extract of all Company records for import into a dedicated CRM platform. If the customer uses Asana's portfolio or workspace structure to represent organizational groupings, we document a tagging convention using Asana Topics as a lightweight alternative during scoping.
24SevenOffice
Deal
Asana
Out of scope
lossy24SevenOffice Deals and Pipelines have no Asana equivalent. Asana does not have an Opportunity, Pipeline, or Deal object. We deliver a written data extract of all Deals including deal name, value, stage, owner, and associated Company for the customer's admin to migrate to a dedicated CRM. Asana Sections can be used to represent deal stages as a lightweight workaround, but this is documented as an optional configuration rather than a direct object mapping.
24SevenOffice
Invoice
Asana
Out of scope
lossy24SevenOffice Invoices (with line items, tax codes, payment status, and country-specific schema) cannot migrate to Asana. Asana has no invoice object. The country-specific tax code mapping (Norwegian, Swedish, UK editions) is preserved in a written extract for the customer's finance team to re-enter in a dedicated accounting tool. We flag which records are affected by the country edition during discovery so that the finance team can plan re-entry accordingly.
24SevenOffice
Attachment
Asana
Attachment (Asana File)
1:1File attachments on 24SevenOffice Projects and Tasks are referenced by URL in the API. We download each attachment to temporary storage, validate file size (Asana API does not support attachments larger than 100 MB; these are flagged and skipped with a written record for the customer's admin), then upload to Asana's file service linked to the target Project or Task. Original filename and created-by metadata are preserved. Attachments on Invoices and Deals are included in the out-of-scope data extract.
24SevenOffice
Tag
Asana
Tag
1:124SevenOffice Tags (flat key-value labels on Contacts, Companies, and Deals) migrate to Asana Tags, which are workspace-level and can be applied to any task. We extract all tags from in-scope objects, map them to Asana's tag schema, and apply them during import. Tags from out-of-scope CRM objects (Contacts, Companies) are delivered in the written data extract.
24SevenOffice
Custom Field
Asana
Custom Field
1:124SevenOffice custom fields on Projects and Tasks require explicit type mapping to Asana's supported custom field types: text (Asana text), number (Asana number with decimal places), dropdown (Asana enum with up to 50 options), and date (Asana date). Asana's 20-field per-project ceiling is checked during discovery; if the source schema exceeds 20 custom fields on any project, we prioritize the most-used fields and document the remainder for manual recreation. Custom fields on out-of-scope objects (CRM, accounting) are not migrated.
24SevenOffice
Workflow / Automation Rule
Asana
Out of scope
lossy24SevenOffice notification rules and automation triggers do not migrate to Asana Rules. We do not migrate automations as code. We deliver a written inventory of every active 24SevenOffice automation including its trigger, conditions, and actions, with a recommended Asana Rules equivalent for the customer's admin to rebuild. Asana Rules use record-triggered and scheduled variants that differ structurally from 24SevenOffice's property-change triggers.

Migration approach
Discovery and out-of-scope boundary definition
We audit the 24SevenOffice account for object types in use (Projects, Tasks, Time Entries, Contacts, Companies, Deals, Invoices, Attachments, Custom Fields, Users), total record counts per object, custom field schemas on Projects and Tasks, and attachment file sizes. We confirm the active country edition (Norwegian, Swedish, UK) affecting invoice schema. We define the migration boundary: Projects, Tasks, Time Entries, Attachments, Tags, Custom Fields, and Users migrate; Deals, Invoices, Contacts, Companies, and accounting records are flagged as out-of-scope with a written data extract delivered. We verify the 24SevenOffice API credentials and endpoint availability during discovery, accounting for the Finago acquisition redirect.
Schema audit and custom field mapping
We inspect the 24SevenOffice custom field schema per Project and Task type, map each field to an Asana custom field type (text, number, dropdown, date), and flag any project exceeding Asana's 20-field ceiling. We resolve dropdown option lists against Asana's 50-option maximum. We design the Asana workspace structure: Teams, Projects, and Sections that mirror the 24SevenOffice project hierarchy. We document the custom field mapping in a schema manifest and share it with the customer's admin for sign-off before extraction begins.
Time entry to custom field transformation design
We design the time-entry split mapping: duration converted to decimal hours stored in a custom number field on the linked Task; date and description stored in a text custom field; billable flag stored in a dropdown custom field. We validate the mapping against a sample of 50-100 time entries before full extraction. For customers with billable-hour workflows, we document the recommended time-tracking integration (Harvest, Toggl, or Everhour) and provide integration setup guidance as a post-migration step.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a fresh Asana workspace using production-like data volume (or a representative sample for large datasets). The customer's project lead reconciles record counts: Projects in, Tasks in, subtask hierarchy depth, Time Entry custom field values per task, Attachment count and size manifest, and User membership list. We spot-check 25-50 random tasks against the 24SevenOffice source for field-level accuracy. Any mapping corrections and custom field priority adjustments happen in the sandbox before production extraction begins.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Users first (validated against Asana workspace membership), then Projects (as parent containers), then Tasks with subtasks nested, then custom fields applied per task, then time-entry data mapped to custom fields, then attachments downloaded and re-uploaded to Asana (with the 100 MB filter applied and manifest maintained), then tags applied. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We freeze 24SevenOffice writes during the cutover window to prevent delta records from being missed.
Cutover, validation, and automation handoff
We run a final delta migration of any records modified during the cutover window, then enable Asana as the system of record for project and task management. We deliver the out-of-scope data extract (Deals, Invoices, Contacts, Companies) as CSV/JSON, the automation inventory document (for 24SevenOffice notification rules and their Asana Rules equivalents), and the time-tracking integration recommendation. We support a three-day hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild 24SevenOffice automations as Asana Rules inside the migration scope; that work uses the delivered inventory document as a rebuild guide.
