Usage

Command Execute

The Command Execute operation allows you to apply YouTrack commands to issues using natural language syntax:

  • tag To Deploy for jane.doe - Adds the "To Deploy" tag to an issue and assigns to jane.doe
  • work 2h Fixed bug - Logs 2 hours of work on the issue with a comment

Note: The vote+1 command cannot be used on your own issues, and usernames must be valid YouTrack logins.

Custom Fields

To discover available custom fields for a project, use the Project > Get Fields Schema operation, which returns the JSON schema for all custom fields in the specified project.

Issue Queries

When listing or filtering issues, YouTrack uses its own query language. See the YouTrack Query Syntax documentation for details.

Webhooks

For webhook triggers, configure the Webhook Triggers app in your YouTrack instance. The YouTrack Trigger node will provide the webhook URL during setup.
