Built around the work before the invoice
The integration keeps delivery in Asana and makes Keito time capture available inside the task pane.
Open the Keito form in Asana
Choose Track time in Keito from the Asana task pane, without installing a browser extension. Notes are prefilled from the task name.
Choose once, then reuse the mapping
Select the Keito project and task the first time. The successful mapping is shared with teammates who have access.
Review and bill from Keito
The task name and source link stay on the Keito entry, where normal approvals, reports, budgets, and invoicing apply.

Project billing
Keep Asana for delivery and Keito for billing
Keito provides the task-side experience Asana teams lost when native Harvest tracking was removed. The integration uses Asana App Components, stores time only in Keito, and keeps the Asana task name, ID, and link attached to every entry. It does not write to Asana native time-tracking fields.

Workflow fit
Billing layer

What Keito adds to asana time tracking
Keito timer rules stay consistent
Starting from Asana uses the same running-timer and project-access rules as every Keito surface.
- Explicit switch when another timer runs
- Manual duration does not stop another timer
- Each person connects their own identity
Task context reaches billing
Keito stores the stable Asana task ID, name snapshot, workspace, and canonical link with each entry.
- History survives task renames
- Team and personal totals in the widget
- Detailed Keito report linked from Asana

Frequently asked questions
Does Asana have built-in time tracking for billing?
Asana includes basic task time fields, but it is not designed for client billing workflows, invoice preparation, approvals, or project-level billing summaries.
Can I use the Keito Asana integration today?
Yes. The Keito Asana integration is available on the Keito Business plan. Install the Keito app from the Asana app gallery, then a Keito owner or administrator connects the workspace. Workspaces on Solo or Pro are asked to upgrade to Business first.
How do Asana teams set up billing-ready time tracking with Keito?
A Keito owner or administrator installs the Keito app in Asana, authorises Asana, and signs in to Keito to connect the workspace. Each team member then connects their own Asana and Keito accounts the first time they track time, so entries are attributed to the correct person. Business admins can also import Asana projects and people and turn on one-way project sync.
Does Keito update Asana native time tracking?
No. Asana context flows into Keito only. Keito is the source of truth for time, approvals, reports, and invoices; the Asana widget shows team time, your time, and timer state, with a link to the Keito detailed time report filtered to that Asana task.
What should teams compare before using Asana time tracking for billing?
Before using Asana time tracking for billing, teams should compare whether activity can become reviewed client, project, task, and approval records before anything reaches an invoice. Keito provides that billing layer so integration activity can support client reporting without exposing internal delivery noise.
