External Links
You can configure Space to detect references to external resources and turn them into links (aka autolinks). If your team uses external resources like Zendesk, YouTrack or Jira, ticket or issue IDs mentioned in Chats, commit messages, and code review titles will be recognized by Space and linked to the corresponding tickets or issues in your external tracker. Autolinks help teams optimize their workflow by linking Space with external resources and letting users quickly navigate to the mentioned entities.
To configure external links
On the main menu, click
Administration and choose External Link Patterns.Click New pattern:
In the New External Link Pattern dialog specify the following:
Prefix: Provide a prefix that is used in the external IDs and that will be recognised by Space to generate links.
Link target: Specify a URL of the external resource ending with
<?>which is a variable for a number that follows the prefix. If the specified prefix should be a part of the URL, include it before<?>.
For example, if the issue ID consists of letters that identify the project followed by an issue number (e.g. PRJ-123), you should specify the following:
Pattern:
PRJ-Link target:
https://some-tracker.com/issues/PRJ-<?>
With the above configuration example, Space will convert any mention which starts with
PRJ-and is followed by some number into a specified link. For example,PRJ-123will be linked tohttps://some-tracker.com/issues/PRG-123Click Add pattern to save and enable the pattern.
You can have multiple patterns for various external resources.
