Example Use Cases

These are example ways Snow can use Shortcut when building apps with you. This list is meant to show examples, not document every possible capability. Connecting an account does not make Snow run these automatically on its own.

Create category

Create Category allows you to create a new Category in Shortcut.

Create generic integration

Tool to create a generic webhook integration in Shortcut. Use when you need to set up a webhook endpoint to receive Shortcut events.

Create group

Creates a new group in the Shortcut system with customizable properties. This endpoint allows you to set up a group with a unique mention name, display name, optional description, and various customization options. Use this when you need to establish a new team, department, or any other collective within your Shortcut workspace. The created group can include members, associated workflows, and visual customizations like color and icon. This endpoint is particularly useful for organizing your Shortcut workspace structure, facilitating team collaboration, and streamlining workflow management. Note that while member and workflow associations can be set during creation, they can also be modified later using separate endpoints.

Create iteration

The CreateIteration endpoint allows you to create a new Iteration in Shortcut, which represents a time-boxed period for completing a set of stories or tasks. This endpoint is crucial for teams using Agile methodologies, enabling them to plan and track progress over specific time periods. Use this endpoint when setting up sprint cycles, planning releases, or organizing work into manageable timeframes. The endpoint requires essential information such as the Iteration's name and date range, while also offering options to add followers, associate groups, and attach labels for better organization and tracking. It's important to note that while multiple groups can be added via the API, the current web UI only displays one Group association. This endpoint should not be used for modifying existing Iterations; instead, use the dedicated update endpoint for such changes.
