Overview
Streamtime and Asana organize work differently. Streamtime centers on Jobs, a container that ties tasks, schedules, time entries, and commercial documents into a single financial view. Asana is task-first: Projects hold Tasks, and any financial, client, or time-tracking context lives in custom fields or external integrations. We migrate Jobs as Projects with their To-Do hierarchy intact, preserve Time Entries as notes-attached tasks or custom fields, map Companies to an Asana organization or a client-tagged custom field, and flag every rate card, Quote, Invoice, and PO that has no native Asana equivalent so the customer's team knows exactly what requires rebuild. We do not migrate automations, templates-as-code, or financial workflows. We deliver a written inventory of any Template Jobs so the customer's admin can rebuild them as Asana Project Templates post-migration.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Streamtime 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.
Streamtime
Job
Asana
Project
1:1Streamtime Jobs map directly to Asana Projects. We preserve the Job title, description, start and due dates, status (active, on hold, complete), and budget fields as native Asana Project fields or as custom fields on the Project. The Job's full To-Do hierarchy migrates as Task and Subtask under the Project. Note that Asana Projects have no native budget field—we capture the original budget as a currency-formatted custom field for the customer's admin to populate post-migration or connect to a budgeting add-on.
Streamtime
To-Do
Asana
Task
1:1Streamtime To-Dos nested within a Job map to Asana Tasks under the corresponding Project. We preserve the To-Do title, description, assignees (mapped to Asana Members by email), due date, completion status, and the parent-child nesting depth. Streamtime's unlimited nesting flattens to Asana's two-level Subtask model; To-Dos nested beyond two levels are surfaced as flat Tasks within the Project with a custom field parent_to_do__c referencing the hierarchy for the admin to restructure.
Streamtime
Time Entry
Asana
Task (time-tracking) or Custom Field
lossyStreamtime Time Entries—logged against a Job with duration, team member, date, and optional notes—map to Asana Tasks annotated with the time entry data. We create a placeholder Task with the Time Entry title as the Task name, assign it to the team member, and attach the duration and date as a custom field set (hours__c, date__c, notes__c). If the customer licenses Asana's native time-tracking add-on, we instead populate the built-in time-tracking fields. Rate Card multipliers do not carry forward; we document the original rate card values separately for the customer to configure in any connected billing tool.
Streamtime
Company
Asana
Organization or Custom Field
1:1Streamtime Companies map to Asana Organizations if the destination is a company-wide workspace, or to a client__c custom field on each Project if Asana is used as a multi-client workspace. We preserve the Company name, website, primary contact name, email, and phone. If the Company has an assigned Rate Card in Streamtime, we document that association as a rate_card_reference__c custom field value so the customer's team can reconnect it to any billing integration in Asana.
Streamtime
Team Member
Asana
Member
1:1Streamtime Team Members map to Asana Members by email match. We extract the full team member list from Streamtime—name, email, role, and whether they are a billable or non-billable resource—and import them into Asana. Any team member without an Asana invite pending is flagged in the reconciliation report. Streamtime's role designations (creative director, designer, developer) are stored in a role__c custom field on the Asana Member profile.
Streamtime
Schedule
Asana
Custom Field or Assignee
1:1Streamtime Schedules represent a team member's allocated time on a Job for a given date range. Asana does not have a native resource scheduling or capacity planning model. We map Schedule allocations to a scheduled_hours__c custom field on the Task, assigned to the team member, and preserve the start date, end date, and hours. The customer should evaluate Asana's resource management add-on or a third-party tool like Runrun.it or Resource Guru if capacity planning is a recurring operational need.
Streamtime
Rate Card
Asana
Custom Fields
lossyStreamtime Rate Cards define pricing tiers by role, item, or expense per client or project. Asana has no native rate card model. We create a rate_card__c custom field on Projects storing the JSON-serialized rate card structure (role, rate, currency) as a reference document. The customer's admin maps these to any connected billing tool (Harvest, Toggl, or an invoicing integration) post-migration. Rate card transformations are documented but not automated inside Asana.
Streamtime
Quote
Asana
Custom Object or Document
lossyStreamtime Quotes are commercial documents with line items, pricing, currency, and status generated from Job data. Asana has no native quoting object. We export Quotes as structured CSV records and deliver them alongside a schema specification for the customer to build a custom Quote object in Asana (using Asana's Custom Objects beta or a third-party quoting tool like Qatalog, Cube, or a custom-built integration). Line item data is preserved but requires manual reassembly in the destination.
Streamtime
Invoice
Asana
External Document
lossyStreamtime Invoices are tied to Jobs and Time Entries with line items, amounts, currency, and payment status. Asana has no native invoicing object. We export Invoice records as CSV with full line item detail, payment status, and the original Job reference. The customer should connect Asana to a dedicated invoicing tool (Wave, FreshBooks, QuickBooks, or a custom integration) post-migration; we provide the exported data and the data dictionary.
Streamtime
Purchase Order
Asana
External Document
lossyStreamtime Purchase Orders include vendor associations, line items, and amounts. Asana has no native PO object. We export PO records as CSV preserving vendor name, PO number, line items, total amount, and status. The customer's finance team uses this export to reconstruct POs in their accounting system or any connected procurement tool.
Streamtime
Template Job
Asana
Project Template
lossyStreamtime Template Jobs are duplicated to create new Jobs with pre-configured To-Dos, rate card associations, and structure. Asana Project Templates exist but do not carry custom fields, rate references, or budget data. We export Template Jobs as standard Projects with a template__c boolean custom field set to true and a full To-Do structure. The customer's admin uses these as blueprints to create native Asana Project Templates. We provide a template mapping guide as part of the handoff documentation.
Streamtime
Attachment
Asana
Attachment
1:1Streamtime file attachments linked to Jobs and commercial documents migrate as Asana Attachments linked to the corresponding Project or Task. We extract the file URL or blob, upload it to Asana via the API, and link it to the parent record. Large files (over 100 MB) may require chunked upload or an external storage reference if Asana's attachment size limits apply. We flag any oversized files in the pre-migration scan.

API rate limits can interrupt bulk migration jobs
Only the account subscriber can access the API key
Financial export permissions are separate from job permissions
Template Jobs require upfront setup before migration
Asana gotchas
Automation rules have no export representation
API rate limits cap bulk migration throughput
Portfolios are view-only objects that do not hold data
Custom field enum options cannot be updated via API
Subtasks do not appear in project views by default
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and Streamtime API access
We audit the source Streamtime account across Jobs, To-Dos, Time Entries, Companies, Team Members, Rate Cards, Template Jobs, and any exported financial documents. We confirm the account subscriber credentials for API key access, verify that the migration user has both Job-view and financial-export permissions, and extract a full data inventory including record counts per object type. The discovery output is a written migration scope with record counts, a preliminary object mapping, and any rate card or financial document flags.
Asana workspace preparation
We configure the destination Asana workspace before any data import. This includes creating the organization structure or setting up client-tagged Projects, provisioning Members for each Team Member (matched by email from Streamtime), creating custom fields for rate card data, budget fields, role designations, and time entry annotations, and setting up any Project Templates as the Asana equivalents of source Template Jobs. We deploy into a staging Asana workspace first to validate the schema before production migration.
Dependency order migration
We run production migration in record-dependency order to satisfy Asana's referential integrity requirements. The sequence is: Team Members (matched to Asana Members by email), Companies (as Organization or client custom field), Projects (from Jobs), Tasks (from To-Dos with parent hierarchy resolved), Time Entries (as annotated Tasks or custom field data), Rate Card documentation (as custom field values), and Template Job blueprints (as flagged Projects for admin rebuild). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Financial documents (Quotes, Invoices, POs) are exported as CSV on a parallel track and delivered alongside the migration.
Rate card and financial document export
We export Rate Cards, Quotes, Invoices, and POs as structured CSV records with full line-item detail, currency, status, and the parent Job reference. Rate card JSON structures are serialized into a rate_card__c custom field on each Project for reference. We do not create native Asana equivalents of these objects because they do not exist. The customer receives the exported CSVs, a data dictionary describing every column, and a rebuild guide recommending tools (Harvest for time and billing, Wave or FreshBooks for invoicing, Qatalog or Cube for quoting) and linking each exported record to its Asana Project parent.
Sandbox validation and template rebuild guide
We run a full migration into Asana staging before production cutover. The customer's project manager and admin validate record counts, spot-check task hierarchy, verify time entry annotations, confirm custom field values, and sign off the template mapping. Any mapping corrections happen in staging. We deliver the Template Inventory document describing every source Template Job and its components so the admin can create native Asana Project Templates. This step is the gate before production cutover.
Production cutover and post-migration handoff
We freeze Streamtime writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then mark Asana as the system of record. We deliver the Template Rebuild Guide, the Rate Card Integration Plan, and the Financial Document Export Pack. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild automations, Rules, or Workflows inside Asana as part of the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.
