Switching from Monday.com to Asana

Asana does not connect to Monday.com directly. The documented route is an Excel export from each Monday.com board, saved as CSV and loaded with Asana’s CSV importer, which is available on every Asana plan, including the free one.

Switching from Monday.com to AsanaVerified Sep 17, 2026

Quick verdict: Export each Monday.com board to Excel, save the main sheet as CSV, and load it with Asana’s CSV importer. Asana maps data by column name, and you can map columns to Asana custom fields. It works board by board and brings over what is in the spreadsheet, so treat updates, files and automations as separate work.

Most buyers only budget for the new subscription. This estimates the hidden labor, data-cleanup, and retraining cost of actually making the switch.

Estimate assumes: 1 hour of data-mapping/cleaning labor per 2,000 records, a blended $75/hr ops rate, tiered migration & cleaning tooling fees, and 4 hours of retraining per seat at a $45/hr fully-loaded rate.

    Why teams move from Monday.com to Asana

    Per-seat billing

    Asana bills each seat with no bundle rounding, so teams that sit between Monday.com’s seat bundles stop paying for idle seats.

    Timeline and Gantt on the first paid tier

    Asana Starter includes timeline and Gantt views and dashboards; on Monday.com they start at Standard.

    Structured multi-project planning

    Portfolios, goals and resource management on Asana Advanced suit teams coordinating many projects.

    How the migration actually works

    Asana documents this exact path in its help center. Plan on one export and one import per board.

    StepWhat you do
    1Export the boardIn Monday.com, open the board menu and choose Export to Excel.
    2Save the main sheet as CSVOpen the downloaded file and save the primary sheet as a CSV file.
    3Tidy the column headersRename columns to match Asana fields (task name, assignee, due date, section) so the importer maps them automatically.
    4Run Asana’s CSV importerCreate or open a project in Asana and upload the CSV with the CSV importer.
    5Map remaining columns to custom fieldsMap Monday.com status, priority or other columns to Asana custom fields.
    6Rebuild automations and move filesRecreate automations as Asana rules, and move key files and item updates separately.

    What this path doesn’t do for you:

    This is a spreadsheet migration, not a connected import. It moves the columns in your export, board by board. Automations do not transfer, and item updates and files are only included if they are in the exported sheet, so check before you rely on them.

    Before you cut over

    • Set up single sign-on in Asana on Enterprise before you invite the team, so accounts are created through your identity provider rather than by hand.

    Checked September 19, 2026 against each vendor’s own trust center, help docs and app pages. Hover or tap “source” to see the exact wording we relied on. “Not published” means we could not find the vendor saying it on its own site; it doesn’t mean the feature is missing.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can Asana import directly from Monday.com?

    Not through a direct connection. Asana’s documented method is to export the board to Excel, save it as CSV and use the CSV importer.

    Which Asana plans include the CSV importer?

    All of them, including the free Personal plan.

    How does Asana decide where data goes?

    By column name. You can also map columns to Asana custom fields during import.

    Do automations transfer?

    No. Recreate them as Asana rules after the import.

    Do I have to do this per board?

    Yes, each Monday.com board is exported and imported separately.
