Asana Google Calendar Sync Not Working
Workaround available Web, Google Calendar Updated October 21, 2026
Quick answer
Asana's Google Calendar sync is one-way and Google refreshes it slowly (up to about 24 hours). If tasks stop appearing or completed tasks don't disappear, remove the Asana calendar and re-add it from a fresh Sync to Calendar link.
Most likely fix: Wait for Google's refresh cycle.
Symptoms
New Asana tasks don't show in Google Calendar, completed tasks stay on the calendar, changes made in Google Calendar don't appear in Asana, or the sync worked once and never updated again.
Why it happens
- Google Calendar refreshes subscribed (iCal) calendars infrequently
- Sync is one-way - Asana to Google only
- Stale or broken calendar subscription
- Old and new Asana calendars conflicting
- Tasks have no due date
- User lost access to the project
How to fix it
Try these in order — the most common fix is first.
1. Wait for Google's refresh cycle
- Allow up to 24 hours for changes to appear
- Completed tasks can take time to disappear
2. Re-subscribe with a fresh iCal link
- In Google Calendar, unsubscribe from the existing Asana calendar
- In Asana, open the project or My Tasks and choose Sync to Calendar to copy a fresh link
- In Google Calendar, go to Other calendars > Add calendar > From URL and paste it
3. Try the webcal link
- Replace 'https:' at the start of the Sync to Calendar link with 'webcal:' before adding it - Asana staff report this helped some users
4. Reconnect the Asana for Google Calendar app
- In the project, go to Customize > Apps > Google Calendar
- Disconnect and reconnect
- Remove any older Asana calendars to avoid duplicates
5. Check due dates and access
- Only tasks with due dates appear
- Confirm the user still has access to the project
6. Use a two-way sync tool if needed
- If you need edits in Google Calendar to update Asana, use a third-party two-way sync service - the native sync can't do this
