Setting up links to external applications

In Tracker issues, you can add links to objects in external applications, e.g., version control systems or third-party issue trackers.

Minimum functionality of links to external applications allows you to add and remove links on the Tracker side (using the API or interface), display app icons, object keys (IDs), and link objects in issues.

You can also use advanced link functionality, which requires external application support: displaying detailed information about related objects, creating and removing links to external applications upon request from Tracker user interface.

To enable creating links:

1. Set up your application for integration with Tracker:

• Provide network access and authentication.

• If necessary, add support for advanced external link functionality.

1. Send the Tracker team the data required to register your application. The team will add your application to the list of available ones. After that, you can create links to your application in any Tracker queue.

2. Use the Tracker API to create links to your external application:

• Getting a list of external applications
• Getting a list of issue external links
• Adding an external link
• Deleting an external link

You can also create links via the user interface if your application's settings allow that.
