Linking Other External Tickets to Shortcut Stories
[Apologies for the appearance - an updated image is under construction]
While the integration was built to support Zendesk for now, we do also offer logo support for several other help desk and error tracking systems, when associated links are manually added to a Shortcut Story. We provide this support for the following systems:
- Desk
- Figma
- Freshdesk
- Front
- Helpscout
- Intercom
- JIRA Servicedesk
- JIRA Projects
- Kustomer
- Rollbar
For all other links, we use the generic ticket icon.
Linking Tickets to New Shortcut Stories in Zendesk
To link Zendesk tickets to new Shortcut Stories:
- Click Create Story in the Zendesk App on the sidebar
- In the new dialog, add Story details and click Create Story
- The newly created Story will be linked to the Zendesk ticket that is open.
Filtering in Shortcut Stories for External Tickets
Understanding which Stories have external tickets associated with them can better help you set priorities. To view these Stories, just open the Quick Filters menu in the Stories sidebar and then select "Has External Links".
By default, all Story cards with Zendesk tickets will display the number of associated tickets by ticket tracker type on the outside of the card.
