Backlog integration
Built for Backlog, from sign-in to Actual Hours.
Here is exactly what Chronigami reads from Backlog, what it writes back, and what it keeps.
Connecting your space
A workspace admin who is also an Administrator in your Backlog space connects it. After that, your team can sign in with their Backlog account or with an email address and password. Chronigami works with spaces on backlog.com, backlog.jp and backlogtool.com.
What Chronigami reads
- Issues you link time to
- To show the summary, status, categories and estimated hours, and to start Actual Hours from the right number
- Projects
- To match issues to projects in reports
- Custom field definitions
- So admins can choose which fields to capture for reporting
- Users in your space
- To invite teammates
What Chronigami writes
- An issue's Actual Hours
- When time is logged against it, if an admin has turned this on. Nothing else on the issue changes.
- New issues, with custom fields and attachments
- When someone submits a Portal form. They're created by the bot account you choose.
What Chronigami keeps
Time entries and a small copy of each linked issue (summary, status, categories, estimated hours and the fields you chose to capture), so reports stay fast and keep their history. It doesn't keep assignees, milestones, versions or free-text custom fields. Backlog access tokens are stored encrypted.
