# Asana integration **(FREE)**
2021-04-29 21:17:54 +05:30
2021-11-18 22:05:49 +05:30
This integration adds commit messages as comments to Asana tasks.
2021-04-29 21:17:54 +05:30
Once enabled, commit messages are checked for Asana task URLs (for example,
`https://app.asana.com/0/123456/987654` ) or task IDs starting with `#`
(for example, `#987654` ). Every task ID found gets the commit comment added to it.
You can also close a task with a message containing: `fix #123456` .
You can use either of these words:
- `fix`
- `fixed`
- `fixes`
- `fixing`
- `close`
- `closes`
- `closed`
- `closing`
