    Key Capabilities

    Everything you need, nothing you don't.

    CSV Import

    Upload a CSV file with tasks, dates, assignees, and any other project data — Instagantt maps columns automatically using intelligent field detection. Export from Microsoft Project, Excel, Google Sheets, or any other tool that supports CSV, and have your Gantt chart created in minutes. The import wizard guides you through column mapping to ensure every data point lands in the right field.

    Asana Sync

    Connect your Asana workspace through the Instagantt for Asana version and instantly turn your projects into a visual Gantt chart. Sync tasks, subtasks, assignees, due dates, and supported custom fields, and keep your timeline aligned as updates happen in Asana. With a dynamic view of the work, you plan smarter, track progress with confidence, and share a polished Gantt timeline with stakeholders — without changing how your team already works.

    Column Mapping

    Map your CSV columns to Instagantt fields with a visual interface that makes it clear which source data maps to which destination field. Instagantt suggests mappings based on column names and data types, and you can adjust them manually before confirming the import. This flexibility handles CSV files from any source tool or custom format.

    Date Parsing

    Instagantt automatically recognizes common date formats from your CSV data including MM/DD/YYYY, DD/MM/YYYY, YYYY-MM-DD, and many regional variations. The date parser handles multiple formats within the same file, so you do not need to standardize your dates before importing. Preview the parsed dates before confirming to ensure everything is correct.

    Bulk import

    Import tasks in bulk from CSV files to build or expand your projects without manual data entry. Pull in entire task lists in seconds and keep your planning process moving smoothly. Whether you're starting a brand-new Gantt chart or adding more work to an existing project, CSV import makes it simple to scale your plans and get everything into Instagantt fast.

    Cancel import

    Made a mistake? Cancel the CSV import before it finishes if something doesn't look right — like incorrect column mapping — so you stay in control from the very first step. If tasks are already in, you can quickly remove them in bulk to reset the project and try again. This flexibility lets you experiment with different import configurations without worrying about disrupting your project setup.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Two main paths: upload a CSV file with your tasks, dates, assignees, and other project data, or connect your Asana workspace through the Instagantt for Asana version for live two-way sync. The CSV import handles thousands of tasks per file, and the import wizard maps columns automatically using intelligent field detection. Most migrations take minutes, not days.

    Yes. Export from Microsoft Project, Excel, Google Sheets, Smartsheet, Monday.com, or any other tool that produces a CSV, and import it directly into Instagantt. The wizard suggests column mappings, parses common date formats automatically (MM/DD/YYYY, DD/MM/YYYY, YYYY-MM-DD, and regional variations), and previews the import before committing — so you can verify everything before any data lands in your project.

    Yes. Connect your Asana workspace to Instagantt and projects, tasks, sub-tasks, assignees, due dates, and supported custom fields sync bidirectionally in real time. Update a task in Asana and it reflects on the Instagantt Gantt chart immediately, and vice versa. This means your team can keep working in Asana while you and your stakeholders get a polished visual timeline.

    Yes. Instagantt's import wizard detects column names and data types in your CSV and suggests mappings to the appropriate Instagantt fields — task name, start date, end date, duration, assignee, dependency, status, and any custom fields. You can review and adjust the mappings manually before confirming the import, which means imports work cleanly even with non-standard CSVs from custom systems.

    Yes. You can cancel a CSV import before it finishes if column mapping looks incorrect or the preview surfaces unexpected data. If tasks have already been imported, you can quickly remove them in bulk to reset the project and try again. This means you can experiment with different import configurations without disrupting your workspace.
