Shortcut integration

What you can do

Streamline your software development by integrating Shortcut with CodeWords to automate task management, sync project data, and coordinate team activities efficiently.

• Connect your Shortcut workspace. Set up secure authentication between Shortcut and CodeWords using API tokens to enable automated project management and story tracking across your development workflows.

• Create stories automatically. Generate new Shortcut stories from customer feedback, bug reports, support tickets, or other sources without requiring manual entry, ensuring no work items are missed.

• Update story status. Sync story progress across tools by automatically updating Shortcut story states when related tasks change in connected systems like version control or testing platforms.

• Assign tasks to team members. Route work items to appropriate team members in Shortcut based on expertise, workload, project assignments, or automated rules configured in your workflow logic.

• Link related work items. Connect Shortcut stories to related issues, pull requests, or documentation in other tools to maintain complete context and traceability throughout the development lifecycle.

• Track project milestones. Monitor milestone progress by aggregating data from Shortcut and sending updates to stakeholders, dashboards, or reporting tools when significant project events occur.

• Manage workflow transitions. Trigger actions in other systems when Shortcut stories move between workflow states, such as starting code reviews, deploying environments, or notifying stakeholders.

• Generate progress reports. Extract story data, velocity metrics, and project statistics from Shortcut to create automated reports that keep teams and stakeholders informed about development progress.
