The Asana integration adds commit messages as comments to Asana tasks. Once enabled, commit messages are checked for Asana task URLs (for example, https://app.asana.com/1/12345/project/67890/task/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
