## Options for Task Creation in Shortcut via Aikido <a href="#options-for-task-creation-in-shortcut-via-aikido" id="options-for-task-creation-in-shortcut-via-aikido"></a>

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

1. Manually create tasks from the Aikido interface
2. Automatically create new tasks via Aikido's auto creation functionality.

## 1. Manual Task Creation <a href="#id-1-manual-task-creation" id="id-1-manual-task-creation"></a>

1. Hover over any issue in your feed and click the ***+*** in the **assignee column.**\
   ​

   ![Task table section showing "Assignee" field with add and options buttons.](/files/qHdYxduZ8eHuhsF9A0fa)

   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.\

## 2. Automated Task Creation <a href="#id-2-automated-task-creation" id="id-2-automated-task-creation"></a>

{% hint style="info" %}
Aikido will automatically create tasks **every hour in bulk.** There is at the moment no option to trigger this manually.
{% endhint %}

1. Go to the [Shortcut Integration](https://app.aikido.dev/settings/integrations/tasktracker) 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.

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

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.aikido.dev/getting-started/task-management-systems/all-supported-task-trackers/shortcut.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
