Use the Shortcut API to find and update external links, and more!
The latest update to the Shortcut API V3 enables users to update a Story's external links and to also find all Stories associated with a given external link.
What's new?
- Renamed external_tickets to external_links
- Use the external_links parameter on POST / PUT Story
- New public endpoint GET external_link/stories which lets you find all stories associated with an external_link
Find Externally Linked Stories using the Shortcut API
A new public endpoint was created: GET api/v3/external-link/stories . If you provide an external_link parameter, this endpoint will return all story-public-ids that have this external link.
Use this endpoint to stay organized. You can find the Stories with a specific External Link. An example of how useful this can be: use it to find all the Stories that are linked to a particular Zendesk ticket, helping you identify duplicate issues across multiple Stories.
Update a Story's External Links, too
You can now add/remove external_links on stories via PUT api/v3/stories/{story-public-id} with the external_links parameter.
Please keep the following things in mind:
- These are set based operations. In order to add a new link, the payload must contain all existing links plus the new link.
- Remove one or more links by omitting only those links from the external_links parameter
- Remove all links by providing an empty array to external_links
External Tickets parameter will be deprecated on April 30, 2021
We're deprecating the old external_tickets parameter on April 30, 2021. Please update your API calls if you are currently using external_tickets when creating Stories.
