What is Shortcut?

Shortcut is a project management and product development platform built for software teams to plan, track, and collaborate on work through stories, epics, iterations, objectives, documents, files, and projects. It helps product, engineering, and operations teams keep delivery work connected from idea to release.

By integrating Shortcut with Konnectify, you can automate routine product operations, sync work items with other tools, create comments and checklist items, monitor updates, and build multi-step workflows without writing custom integration code.

API & Authentication

API Key authentication

The Shortcut connector uses an API token to authenticate requests. In Konnectify, enter your Shortcut API Token in the connection screen. The token is stored securely and used to authorize Shortcut API operations for your workflows.

The required credential field is API Token. You can typically create or manage API tokens from your Shortcut account settings.

Supported API capabilities

• Epics: create, list, get, update, delete, and comment

• Stories: create, list, get, update, delete, comments, and checklists

• Files: list, upload, get, and delete

• Iterations: create, list, get, update, and delete

• Documents and objectives: create, list, get, update, and delete where available

• Projects, custom fields, repositories, and members

Important: Shortcut API access, available endpoints, rate limits, and specific object permissions may depend on your Shortcut workspace plan, role, and API token permissions. If a workflow fails with a permissions or rate-limit response, review your Shortcut plan and token access.

Official API reference: Shortcut REST API documentation.

FAQ

How does Shortcut authentication work in Konnectify?

Shortcut uses API Key authentication in this connector. Enter your Shortcut API token when creating the connection in Konnectify, and Konnectify uses that token to authorize workflow requests.

Which Shortcut plans are supported?

Any Shortcut workspace that allows API token access can be connected. Specific endpoints or object permissions may depend on your Shortcut plan, workspace configuration, and member role.

How do Shortcut triggers work?

All Shortcut triggers in this connector are polling triggers. Konnectify checks Shortcut at scheduled intervals and emits records created or updated between the previous and current cursor window.

How can I prevent duplicate Shortcut records?

This Shortcut connector does not include dedicated upsert actions. To avoid duplicates, use list or get actions to check for an existing story, epic, project, objective, or other record before running a create action.

How are Shortcut API rate limits handled?

If Shortcut returns a rate-limit response, reduce workflow frequency, limit unnecessary list calls, and review workflow run volume. Konnectify workflow logs can help identify the step receiving rate-limit errors.

Can I connect multiple Shortcut accounts or workspaces?

Yes. Create separate Shortcut connections in Konnectify using different API tokens. Name each connection clearly so workflow builders can choose the correct workspace or account.

Can I automate Shortcut story checklists and comments?

Yes. This integration includes actions to list, create, get, update, and delete story checklist items, as well as actions to list, create, get, update, and delete story comments. Epic comment actions are also supported.
