How to Import Trello Boards into Asana

Using multiple project management tools means you have to transfer information back and forth. Most tools allow users to import the information between platforms, including two of the most famous: Asana and Trello. 

Listed below are steps for importing a Trello board in Asana. Make sure you are logged into both the tools before you proceed.

Use Migrator.xyz

To migrate an entire board from Trello to Asana, you need to use a third-party tool. In this method, we will be using the website Migrator.xyz for this purpose. Here’s how to use this free tool:

1. Launch your browser and head over to migrator.xyz website.
   
2. Click on Login with Asana.
   

   

3. Hit the Allow button to grant migrator.xyz permission to access your Asana account. This should automatically connect your Asana account with Migrator.
   

   

4. Click on the Authenticate button under “Connect to Trello”.
   

   

5. In the next window, click on Log in, as shown below.
