# Asana integration **(FREE)**
2021-03-30 06:09:35 +00:00
2021-09-30 18:11:31 +00:00
This integration adds commit messages as comments to Asana tasks.
2021-03-30 06:09:35 +00:00
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`
