Available Actions
Here are the specific actions your virtual expert can perform within shortcut.
Create Category
Create category allows you to create a new category in shortcut.
Create Entity Template
Create a new entity template for the workspace.
Create Epic

Create Epic Comment
This endpoint allows you to create a threaded comment on an epic.
Create Epic Comment Comment
This endpoint allows you to create a nested comment reply to an existing epic comment.
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.
Create Label
Create label allows you to create a new label in shortcut.
Create Linked File
Create linked file allows you to create a new linked file in shortcut.
Create Milestone
(deprecated: use 'create objective') create milestone allows you to create a new milestone in shortcut.
Create Multiple Stories
Create multiple stories allows you to create multiple stories in a single request using the same syntax as [create story](https://developer.shortcut.com/api/rest/v3#create-story).
Create Objective
Create objective allows you to create a new objective in shortcut.
Create Project
Create project is used to create a new shortcut project.
Create Story
Create story is used to add a new story to your shortcut workspace. this endpoint requires that either **workflow state id** or **project id** be provided, but will reject the request if both or neither are specified. the workflow state id has been marked as required and is the recommended field to specify because we are in the process of sunsetting projects in shortcut.
Create Story Comment
Create comment allows you to create a comment on any story.
Create Story From Template
Create story from template is used to add a new story derived from a template to your shortcut workspace.
Create Story Link
Story links (called story relationships in the ui) allow you create semantic relationships between two stories. the parameters read like an active voice grammatical sentence: subject -> verb -> object. the subject story acts on the object story; the object story is the direct object of the sentence. the subject story "blocks", "duplicates", or "relates to" the object story. examples: - "story 5 blocks story 6” -- story 6 is now "blocked" until story 5 is moved to a done workflow state. - "story 2 duplicates story 1” -- story 2 represents the same body of work as story 1 (and should probably be archived). - "story 7 relates to story 3”
Create Story Reaction
Create a reaction to a story comment.
Create Task
Create task is used to create a new task in a story.
Delete Category
Delete category can be used to delete any category.
Delete Custom Field
Deletes a specific custom field from the shortcut system using its unique public identifier. this endpoint should be used when you need to permanently remove a custom field that is no longer required in your workflows or project structure. it's important to note that this operation is irreversible, and once a custom field is deleted, all data associated with it will be lost. use this endpoint with caution, ensuring that the custom field is no longer needed and that its deletion won't negatively impact any existing processes or data integrity within your shortcut instance.
Delete Entity Template
Deletes a specific entity template from the shortcut api. this endpoint should be used when you need to permanently remove a template that is no longer needed or is obsolete. it's important to note that this operation cannot be undone, so it should be used with caution. the deletion is performed on a single template identified by its public id, adhering to the best practice of controlling deletion on a per-resource basis. this endpoint is part of the api v3, which may include enhanced features or changes compared to previous versions.
Delete Epic
Delete epic can be used to delete the epic. the only required parameter is epic id.
Delete Epic Comment
This endpoint allows you to delete a comment from an epic.
Delete File
Delete file deletes a previously uploaded file.
Delete Iteration
Deletes a specific iteration from the shortcut project management system. this endpoint should be used when you need to permanently remove an iteration and all its associated data from your project workflow. it's particularly useful for cleaning up completed or cancelled iterations that are no longer needed. be cautious when using this endpoint, as the deletion is irreversible and will remove all data associated with the specified iteration. ensure you have the correct iteration id before proceeding with the deletion to avoid unintended data loss.
Delete Label
Delete label can be used to delete any label.
Delete Linked File
Delete linked file can be used to delete any previously attached linked-file.
