How to integrate Brushup with Backlog to add a new item registered in Brushup to Backlog

For those who conduct reviews and feedback on their work using Brushup, managing tasks can often feel cumbersome. Particularly, spending time on missing feedback or prioritization can frequently lead to decreased work efficiency.

The solution to these issues is the app integration of Brushup and Backlog using Yoom. By utilizing Yoom, you can easily create automated workflows without programming knowledge, and when a new item is registered in Brushup, a task is automatically added to Backlog. This prevents task omissions and ensures smooth task management for the entire team.

Benefits of Integrating Brushup and Backlog

Benefit 1: Prevention of Task Omissions and Task Automation‍

When a new item is registered in Brushup, a task is automatically added to Backlog. This automation prevents the omissions that often occur when manually entering tasks, allowing for reliable and efficient task management. In creative work, such as with a design team, ensuring all tasks are registered can save effort and facilitate smooth progress. As a result, the risk of project delays is significantly reduced, making quality control and schedule adherence easier.

Benefit 2: Improved Communication Efficiency‍

With feedback from Brushup automatically reflected in Backlog, the feedback content is immediately shared, allowing creators and project managers to quickly grasp the tasks and next steps to prioritize. Furthermore, since the status and completion of feedback are visualized in Backlog, everyone can make decisions based on the same information, reducing misunderstandings and delays. This increases the overall transparency of the project and facilitates smooth communication among stakeholders.

[What is Yoom]

How to Create a Brushup and Backlog Integration Flow

Let's proceed with setting up the integration of Brushup and Backlog using Yoom.
The flow this time is "Add to Backlog when a new item is registered in Brushup."

The setup is completed in three steps, including the pre-registration of My Apps!

Click "Try it out" from the banner below to copy the template.

Step 1: Connect Brushup and Backlog with My Apps

Before setting up the template, let's connect Yoom with Brushup and Backlog through My Apps.
After logging into Yoom, click "My Apps" on the left menu, then click "+ New Connection".

Search for each app by name for Brushup and Backlog, and follow the displayed instructions to enter the necessary information.
If the app connection does not work well, please refer to the following page.

Checkpoints for Failure in Backlog App Connection

Once you have completed the input for each and the My Apps connection is successful, it will be displayed in the list, so please check it.

This completes the My Apps connection. Next, we will move on to the actual template settings.

Step 2: Set Triggers in Brushup

First, click "When a new item is registered or updated".
On the first page, your Brushup account information is displayed.

You can change the title to something easy to understand, but do not change the trigger action.
Once you have confirmed your account information, click "Next".

On the next page, set the trigger interval.

Check for new item registrations or updates at the set time intervals.
Note that the trigger interval may not be selectable depending on the plan.

Fill in the two fields and click "Test" to obtain the output.

Click "Save" to complete the trigger settings.

Step 3: Backlog Settings

Next, click "Add Issue".
As with Brushup, confirm the linked account information on the first page and proceed to the next step.

On the next page, configure the details of the content to be added.

There is a field where you can enter the details of the issue, and using the output obtained from the Brushup settings can be convenient for later reference.

Once you have filled in the necessary fields, try "Test".
If the test is successful and the output is obtained, click "Save" to complete all settings.

Finally, turn the trigger ON.

Now, when an item is added in Brushup, an issue will be automatically added to Backlog.

Other Automation Examples Using Brushup and Backlog

By utilizing the connection between Brushup and Backlog, various other automations are possible.

1. Brushup can notify you via app integration when a comment is received. You can receive notifications on familiar communication apps like Slack or Chatwork, which can help reduce oversights.

2. By integrating Backlog with Google Sheets, you can add a row to a specified sheet whenever a task is added in Backlog. Google Sheets is an easily shareable tool, so it's convenient for using the same information across teams and industries. It seems like it can be used together with the flow introduced this time.

Summary

For those managing projects with Brushup, integration with Backlog can enhance work efficiency. With Yoom, which can be set up in simple steps without programming knowledge, daily task management becomes smoother. Why not take this opportunity to register for Yoom for free and start implementing automated workflows? Free yourself from manual task management and gain an environment where you can focus more on creative work!
