# BluePoint ClickUp-Asana Sync Integration Proposal

## Overview

During the February 2026 monthly marketing review, Asymmetric proposed a two-way sync integration between their internal **ClickUp** workspace and BluePoint ATM's **Asana** instance. The goal is to improve project visibility and reduce reliance on email as the primary coordination mechanism.

This proposal emerged as Asymmetric was nearing completion of a significant internal ClickUp restructuring, making it a natural moment to revisit cross-platform transparency with clients.

## Proposal Details

| Field | Detail |
|---|---|
| **Tool type** | Two-way sync platform (ClickUp ↔ Asana) |
| **Monthly cost** | $65/month |
| **Free trial** | Available before committing |
| **Sync capabilities** | Task titles, deadlines, tags, comments, custom fields |
| **Direction** | Bidirectional — both teams can read and write |

### How It Would Work

- Asymmetric manages work in **ClickUp**; BluePoint manages work in **Asana**
- The sync layer mirrors tasks, deadlines, comments, and custom fields between the two platforms in real time
- BluePoint team members can view progress, leave comments, and make edits directly in Asana without needing ClickUp access
- Asymmetric sees those updates reflected in ClickUp automatically

### Why Two-Way Sync Matters

One-way sync alternatives were evaluated and ruled out — they would only surface information in one direction, which would not meaningfully reduce the coordination overhead that currently falls on email threads.

## Current State

As of the February 2026 call, **all Asymmetric clients coordinate via email**. BluePoint would be the first client to use a platform-based project management integration. Asymmetric acknowledged this is new territory and noted they have done as much vetting as possible ahead of the proposal.

BluePoint uses:
- **Asana** — project management
- **HubSpot** — marketing and sales CRM

## Decision Status

**Pending.** BluePoint (Wade Zirkle and Mike Stebbins) agreed to discuss internally and provide a decision the following week.

Wade noted the tradeoff: some workflows are simple enough that email is easier, while high-collaboration projects benefit from a shared platform. The team wanted to assess which category most of their Asymmetric work falls into before committing.

> *"Some stuff is really easy on email and a project management app complicates it, and then vice versa — some stuff is really great when there's a huge amount of collaboration."*

## Next Steps

- [ ] **Karly Oykhman** — Email the ClickUp-Asana sync proposal document to Wade and Mike; request a decision by the following week
- [ ] **BluePoint (Wade / Mike)** — Discuss internally and respond with go/no-go on trialing the integration
- [ ] If approved: initiate free trial before committing to $65/month subscription

## Related Notes

- Asymmetric's ClickUp restructuring was nearly complete at the time of this proposal (~2 weeks remaining)
- If BluePoint declines, the current email-based workflow continues unchanged
- ABM strategy and other forward-looking initiatives discussed in the same meeting may increase collaboration complexity, potentially strengthening the case for platform sync over time — see [[knowledge/marketing/account-based-marketing-abm-strategy]]
