Overview#

The Backlog API provides a suite of functions for developers to integrate with and automate their project management needs. Through Pipedream, you can harness this API to create workflows that respond to events in Backlog, manipulate issues, track progress, and sync with other tools. This seamless integration allows you to streamline project management tasks, keep your team informed in real-time, and connect Backlog with other apps to enhance your productivity.

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    backlog_api: {
      type: "app",
      app: "backlog_api",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://xx.backlog.com/api/v2/users/myself`,
      params: {
        apiKey: `${this.backlog_api.$auth.api_key}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Example Use Cases#

Issue Syncing Between Backlog and GitHub: When an issue is reported in Backlog, automatically create a corresponding issue in GitHub to track code-related changes. Conversely, when a GitHub issue is closed, update the status in Backlog. This keeps project management and development in sync.
Slack Notifications for Backlog Updates: Set up a workflow that sends Slack messages to a designated channel whenever a new issue is created or an existing issue is updated in Backlog. This ensures that your team stays informed about project updates without leaving their communication platform.
Time Tracking and Reporting Automation: Whenever an issue's status in Backlog changes to 'In Progress', start a timer. When the status changes to 'Resolved' or 'Closed', stop the timer and log the time spent. Compile time tracking data weekly and send a report via email to project managers for resource allocation analysis.

Authentication#

Name Slug: backlog_api

Backlog (API) uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Backlog (API) account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Backlog (API) APIs in both code and no-code steps.

Append your API key to the API requests to return data from your account.
