How to automatically add a task to Backlog when an application is submitted in Collaboflow by integrating Collaboflow with Backlog

s.ougitani

In this article, we will introduce a method to automatically add tasks to Backlog when a request is made in Collaboflow. By integrating Collaboflow with Backlog, you can reduce the manual input work and prevent task omissions. Furthermore, by utilizing Yoom, you can connect applications without code, potentially improving work efficiency. Even those who have given up on integration due to lack of programming knowledge should definitely give it a try.

Benefits of Integrating Collaboflow and Backlog

Benefit 1: Reduce Input Work

Manually adding tasks to Backlog can increase the burden of input work. There is also a risk of missing task entries. By integrating Collaboflow with Backlog, you can automate the input work that occurs every time a request is made in Collaboflow. Automating the input process can also help prevent human errors. As a result, it may improve the overall efficiency of the team's work and make task management easier.

Benefit 2: Easier Task Management

When using multiple applications, there is a possibility that the information is not up-to-date depending on the timing of information addition. By integrating Collaboflow with Backlog, you can prevent information discrepancies and maintain data consistency. If new information can be shared with the team, it allows for immediate response to tasks, potentially leading to increased productivity.

After being in charge of sales and CA at a human resources company for about 5 years, I have been involved in jobs such as creating job advertisements and scouting sentences at companies that hire engineers. I'm fascinated by Yoom's revolutionary service of “automating office work.” I would like to write so that I can send out information that can be useful to everyone, even a little bit.

What is Yoom hyperautomation?
Conventional RPA can only automate simple repetitive tasks, and the setup process was very complicated.
With “hyperautomation,” which combines various technologies such as AI, API, RPA, and OCR, it is possible to automate many tasks that could not be realized until now more easily than before.
Don't Just Connect Apps—Automate Everything
Most tools simply connect one app to another, leaving the complex tasks to you. Yoom goes much further: From document creation and browser automation to OCR and generative AI, Yoom handles it all seamlessly in one platform.

Why settle for basic integrations? Streamline your entire workflow with Yoom’s powerful hyperautomation.
