2. Automated Task Creation

Aikido will automatically create tasks every hour in bulk. There is at the moment no option to trigger this manually.

1. Go to the Shortcut Integration settings
2. Select 'Change auto creation'
3. Define the criteria for automatic task creation.

You can configure all of these settings in the autocreation modal:

• On/Off — Enable or disable autocreation. When off, the threshold is effectively set to None.
• Severity threshold — Create tickets for issues at Critical, High, Medium, or Low and above. For example, High creates tickets for High and Critical.
• Issue types — Create tickets for all issue types, or limit them to specific types like SCA, SAST, Secrets, Cloud, IaC, Malware, or License.
• Daily limit — Set the maximum number of tickets created per day. The default is 25. Some plans support higher limits.
• Ticket creation mode — Create one ticket per issue group, or create separate tickets per location or scope. Per-location mode can create more tickets.
• Scope — Available only in per-location mode. Target all repos or clouds, only mapped repos or teams, or specific repos or clouds with include and exclude lists.

1. Aikido will then autonomously generate Shortcut tickets based on these settings 🚀
