- Decide what you are not moving: comments, attachments and historyMigrates Asana comments and attachments, and turns subtasks into checklist items or separate tasks. Dependencies are not kept in Planner basic.
- Map people by email, not by nameUser Mapping pairs source users with existing target users and adds mapped members to the plan and its Microsoft 365 group. Up to 20 assignees per task.
- Planner assigns tasks to Microsoft 365 accounts, so names that match two people or guests with no account end up unassigned.User Mapping pairs source users with existing target users and adds them to the plan's group. Up to 20 assignees per task.
- By hand, flow or script: comments, attachments and history do not move. Trello's CSV has no comments, and the board JSON holds only the latest 1,000 actions.Migrates the last 100 comments per card, all attachments and the first checklist per card.

How does FluentPro Integration Cloud handle key settings?
From the settings checklists in our playbooks: what FluentPro Integration Cloud carries across.
| Setting | How it handles it | Playbook |
|---|---|---|
| What an Asana export holds | Migrates Asana comments and attachments, and reads custom field values except on the Asana Free plan or after a trial ends, where they are locked. | Trello or Asana to Microsoft Planner migration guide |
| Comments | Migrates the last 100 comments per card. Comments are posted by the migration account, with the original author and date written into the text; formatting such as bold and quotes is lost. | Trello or Asana to Microsoft Planner migration guide |
| Attachments | Migrates all attachments, but adds at most 10 to a Planner basic task; the rest are skipped. | Trello or Asana to Microsoft Planner migration guide |
| Checklists and subtasks | Moves only the first checklist per Trello card, up to 20 items, with names over 100 characters cut short. Asana subtasks become checklist items (title and status only) by default, or tasks of their own. | Trello or Asana to Microsoft Planner migration guide |
| Labels and tags | Migrates only the first 25 labels and sets them on tasks to match the source; others are skipped. | Trello or Asana to Microsoft Planner migration guide |
| Assignees and members | Users are not created: they must already exist in the target. Mapped users are added to the plan and its Microsoft 365 group. Up to 20 assignees per task. | Trello or Asana to Microsoft Planner migration guide |
| Created dates, completed tasks and who did what | Created date is set to the migration date and the migration account is shown as creator. Completed By shows the migration account, because the Planner API cannot set it. FluentPro warns that Planner basic notifies group members during the migration. | Trello or Asana to Microsoft Planner migration guide |
| Archived cards and finished tasks | Archived cards: not stated in FluentPro's documentation: test it in your pilot. | Trello or Asana to Microsoft Planner migration guide |
| Basic or premium plan | Asana dependencies and task hierarchy are not kept in Planner basic. | Trello or Asana to Microsoft Planner migration guide |
| Throttling and batch size | One migration account can create at most 20,000 tasks, so larger moves are split across accounts. | Trello or Asana to Microsoft Planner migration guide |
| Running an import again | Create new or merge with existing Plans adds data into plans with matching names. Create new and remove existing Plans deletes those plans and all their tasks first. | Trello or Asana to Microsoft Planner migration guide |
