📋 Setting up automated task creation in Azure DevOps Boards

Introduction

This one-time setup per workspace allows everyone in your Aikido organization to create issues directly in Azure DevOps Boards.

Following use cases are supported :

Automated Ticket Creation: Automatically create and push tickets to specified Boards projects for seamless tracking of security issues.
Manual Ticket Addition: Manually add security issue tickets to Boards, ensuring targeted attention for critical vulnerabilities.

Navigate to Integration Settings within the Aikido app.
In the 'Task Trackers' section, select 'Azure DevOps Boards'
A modal will request some more information to authenticate:

After filling in the credentials correctly, press save and Close the modal.
Open the Azure DevOps Boards Integration page to manage the auto creation settings.

There are two different options to create new tasks from Aikido into Boards

Hover over any issue in your feed and click the + in the assignee column.

Alternatively, you can click the triple dots in the last columns to open up the action menu. If you have grouped issues, the triple dot action menu is available on every subissue.
Fill in the required details in the popup modal.
The newly created task in Boards will be linked in the Aikido Issue Detail under the 'Tasks' tab (sidepanel).
