This is a tool I wrote for myself to migrate Trello boards to Asana. The motivation was that the only available commercial solution did not migrate archived cards.
The code is not production quality - use at your own risk. Do with it whatever you like.
In Asana, create an access token.
In Trello, download JSON exports of the boards you would like to import into Asana.
Then, run pro.felixo.importer.MainKt with two command-line arguments:
- your Asana access token;
- the path of the directory containing (only) the exported Trello JSON files.
The tool migrates Trello entities to Asana as follows:
| Trello | Asana |
|---|---|
| Board | Project (same name, description; board view by default; will abort if project of same name already exists) |
| Label | Tag (same name, similar colour) |
| List (incl. archived) | Section (same order and name) |
| Card (incl. archived) | Task (same order, name, and description; archived card -> completed task; no assignment) |
| Card comment | Task comment (same order; original timestamp in text; commenter name not included) |
| Checklist item | Sub-task (same order, name, and completion state) |
| Attachment | Attachment (same name and content) |
I made this tool for a single, specific use case that I had, and it was good enough. You may notice the following flaws, however:
- It will not work if the access token has access to more than one organisation or more than one team.
- Created Asana boards have an empty "Untitled section".
- Attachment file names end up URL-encoded.
- Not all label colours are translated.
- If a Trello JSON export contains an action type unknown to the tool, an exception will be thrown. See
