    Worker records (payees)

Choose which records sync and when they move. Your team stays in control of work review and payment approval.

Connect project milestones to worker pay

Link approved contractor tasks to Wingspan work records. Task details fill a work log. A known amount creates a direct payable. Choose one path for each cost. Finance gives separate payment approval. Your team spends less time copying data.

Check readiness before assigning work

Check worker status in Asana custom fields. A work template sets required checks. Each worker assignment tracks its own checks. See if a worker is ready before you assign tasks.

Track worker payment updates

Give project leads clear pay updates right in Asana. Wingspan shares when the sending bank processes a transfer. That step does not prove the worker's bank posted funds yet.

How Asana works with Wingspan

Asana helps your team plan projects, track tasks, and check deliverables. When you rely on external workers, task tracking can feel cut off from your books. Wingspan connects project work to pay. In Wingspan, each worker record is called a payee. Worker is our umbrella term. Worker types include Contractor and W-2.

Each worker type follows its own path. Contractors complete W-9 forms and tax checks. When you approve contractor work, Wingspan creates one amount owed. The contractor sees an invoice. Your team sees a payable. W-2 workers complete tax withholding forms. They receive pay statements through employee payroll runs.

Asana tracks tasks and project milestones. Wingspan holds private tax IDs and bank details. You map Asana tasks to Wingspan work templates and worker assignments. Approving work in Asana creates a work log or bill you owe. Finance gives separate payment approval before pay runs. Wingspan shows when the sending bank processed pay. That step does not prove the worker’s bank posted funds yet. Custom fields in Asana show live pay updates.

Sync options

Choose which tool holds each record. Set the changes that sync between them. Connect your records to the Wingspan workflows below.

Approval task

Work logs and work items

Asana to Wingspan

An approved contractor task in Asana fills a Wingspan work log. The log groups work items for one assignment. Approving it creates one amount owed. The contractor sees an invoice. Your team sees a payable. Finance gives separate payment approval before money moves.

Project

Engagement templates and assignments

In both directions

An Asana project maps to a Wingspan engagement template. An engagement is a reusable work template. Each worker role maps to an assignment. One worker can have several assignments at once. Each job tracks its own dates, rates, and checks. Your team tracks work without leaving Asana.

User

Worker records (payees)

Asana to Wingspan

Selected Asana users link to Wingspan worker records. Each record is called a payee. Keep each worker’s Contractor or W-2 type. An Asana guest account does not create a worker by itself. Your team selects the worker and assignment. Tax forms follow the correct worker type.

Task (custom field)

Payables

In both directions

Approved contractor tasks with known amounts create direct payables in Wingspan. A payable is a bill you owe a contractor. Work details also enter through work logs. Use one path for each cost. Finance gives payment approval. Wingspan shares the payable ID and status with Asana.

Task change notifications

Work logs and work items

Asana to Wingspan

Asana task changes send alerts to Wingspan. Your team chooses which changes sync. Approved contractor work fills work items or creates direct payables. Use one path for each cost. Task review does not release money. Finance gives separate payment approval.

Task (Payment Status custom field)

Payment status and references

Wingspan to Asana

Wingspan sends pay status to Asana custom fields. It shows when a bill is paid in a payroll run. Deposit confirmation means the sending bank processed the transfer. It does not prove the receiving bank posted funds yet. Leads track pay progress.

Task (Compliance Readiness custom field)

Requirements and eligibility

Wingspan to Asana

Wingspan sends readiness flags to Asana custom fields. A work template sets required checks. Each worker assignment tracks its own checks. Checks include tax forms, licenses, and insurance. Finishing checks for one job does not clear every job. Teams see who is ready for work before assigning tasks.

Integration workflows

01

Approve milestones and create contractor payables

A project manager approves an Asana task.

A contractor submits finished work in Asana. The manager marks the task approved. Wingspan checks that the worker is ready for that job. When the amount is known, Wingspan creates a draft bill you owe. If not, it makes a work log. Approving the log creates one amount owed. The contractor sees an invoice. Your team sees a payable. Finance approves payment before pay runs. Approved bills join a contractor payroll run. Wingspan sends the bill ID and status to Asana.

02

Check worker onboarding before task assignment

A manager assigns an Asana task to a worker.

A manager assigns an Asana task to a selected worker. The integration checks their Wingspan assignment. Each worker keeps their Contractor or W-2 type. Required checks follow the assignment. Wingspan shares readiness in an Asana custom field. Missing checks show as pending. Managers see who is ready for that work.

03

Coordinate client billing and contractor pay

Final milestone tasks in Asana are marked approved.

Your team finishes a client project in Asana. The finished milestone alerts Wingspan. Wingspan drafts a bill to your client for the agreed work. It also lines up amounts owed to contractors for completed jobs. Client bills and worker pay stay on separate tracks. Finance reviews and sends the client bill. Finance approves worker pay separately. A payroll run pays approved bills. Asana custom fields show pay status.

Plan your integration

Choose task fields and review steps

Choose the Asana features your team uses to track work. Set fields for assignment readiness and payment status. Select the task changes that start a sync. Keep task approval separate from payment approval in Wingspan.

Choose project and payment updates

Choose the Asana custom fields that show assignment readiness and payment progress. Wingspan manages worker records, checks, and pay while Asana tracks tasks and work reviews. Set access to shared fields around your project and finance roles.

Worker records and account types

You decide how workers join Asana. They can use guest accounts or full seats. The workflow matches Asana users to Wingspan worker records by verified email. In Wingspan, each worker record is called a payee. You choose the worker type, such as Contractor or W-2. Contractors fill out W-9 forms. W-2 workers finish employee payroll setup. This gives each worker the right checks before work begins.

How the worker lifecycle fits

Connect worker records from hire to pay. Choose the Contractor or W-2 type and keep the right checks for each.

Workers and worker types
Asana users match Wingspan worker records by email. Each record keeps its Contractor or W-2 type.
Engagements and assignments
Asana projects connect to work templates in Wingspan. Single project roles map to worker assignments.
Requirements and eligibility
Required checks track worker setup in Wingspan. Status flags sync to Asana task custom fields.
Work logs and approved work
Approved Asana tasks fill work items or work logs for that worker assignment. Reviewing work is not approving pay.
Payables
Approved contractor tasks supply work logs or direct payables. Use one path for each cost. Finance approves payment before a contractor payroll run pays it.
Client invoices
Finished milestones draft client bills in Wingspan. Client bills and worker pay stay on separate tracks.
Payments and payouts
Wingspan updates Asana custom fields after a pay run. The sending bank confirms when it processes pay. That does not prove the worker’s bank posted funds yet.
Tax forms and reporting
Contractor records use W-9 forms and 1099 reporting. W-2 records use employee payroll forms. Asana receives the status your team selects.
