What Shortcut does
The tool, in plain language.
Bring Shortcut stories and delivery context into Specky, then create or update stories from approved work.
Why connect it to Specky?
Keep the useful context attached.
Connect Shortcut when useful product context lives there and should be available beside the rest of your Product Graph.
- Searchable source context
- Recurring themes
- Evidence-backed product decisions
The job this connection does
Why would a product team connect Shortcut?
Make the useful context in Shortcut available when you need to answer a product question.
Specky pulls from Shortcut on a schedule
Specky checks Shortcut for new activity when your workspace syncs. You can also run a sync yourself whenever you need a fresh read.
Know what this connection is for.
A useful integration is clear about its boundary: what Specky can receive, what it returns to your product workflow, and what it deliberately does not do.
You provide
- Accessible Shortcut stories, groups, projects, estimates, and workflow state
- A Shortcut API token
- An optional default project for new stories
Specky gives back
- Delivery context alongside product evidence
- Approved stories created or updated from Tickets and the Execution Bridge
- Workflow-state movement left to Shortcut’s own workflow
A real example
A reviewed product requirement becomes a Shortcut story in the selected project, carrying the acceptance criteria without breaking the link back to the decision.

Before you connect it
How does Specky use my Shortcut data?
It becomes part of your Product Graph, where you can search it alongside related feedback from the rest of your stack. The source stays attached, and your workspace data is not used to train AI models.
Will Specky import my existing Shortcut history?
Yes. The first sync brings in recent Shortcut history, then Specky keeps up with new activity after that.
What do I need before I connect Shortcut?
You will need API Token from your own Shortcut account. The setup guide walks you through each one.
How long will this take?
Usually a few minutes. You create a credential in Shortcut, paste it into Specky, and you are connected. Step-by-step instructions are in the setup guide.
Can I disconnect Shortcut later?
Yes — go to Settings → Integrations whenever you want. Disconnecting removes the connection and the data it brought in.
Can I use Shortcut on my plan?
Every plan can connect integrations. Your plan sets how many can be active at once, and a few providers are limited to Scale. Settings → Usage shows where you stand.
