Today, we'd like to introduce you to a powerful new feature in Planio: Webhooks. This enhancement is designed to enable seamless automation and integration with your existing tools and workflows.
Webhooks are a way for web applications to communicate with each other in real-time. They allow you to send automated messages or information from one app to another whenever a specific event occurs. Unlike traditional APIs, which require you to poll for data, webhooks push data to your endpoint as soon as an event happens, making them more efficient and responsive.
With integration platforms like Zapier or IFTTT you can set up webhook endpoints and initiate actions in thousands of third-party applications and services, allowing you to get started with little to no coding required.
With Planio's webhooks, you can set up triggers for various events within your projects. For example, you can configure a webhook to notify your team in Slack whenever a new issue is created or updated in Planio. This means you no longer have to manually check for updates or rely on email notifications.
To start using webhooks in Planio, follow these simple steps:
In Planio, navigate to My Account.
Click on Webhooks in the top right.
Click New webhook.
Set up your webhook. For Webhook URL, enter the URL where you'd like to receive webhook requests. Under Events, select the events you want this hook to receive requests for. Under Projects, select the projects you want this hook to be active in.
Webhooks are a game-changer for teams looking to streamline their workflows and improve communication between different tools. By integrating Planio with your existing systems, you can automate processes, receive real-time updates, and enhance overall productivity. We can't wait to see how you leverage this new feature to optimize your project management experience.
Try out webhooks today and take your Planio projects to the next level!
We are excited to announce a new feature in Planio that enhances how you manage time tracking on your projects. With this update, you can now restrict time logging to issues that are still open, ensuring that all time entries are relevant and up-to-date.
To enable the restriction on time logging for closed issues, follow these simple steps:
Go to the project where you want to apply this restriction, and click Settings in the project menu.
Find the Issue tracking section within the project settings.
To enable the restriction, uncheck the option Time tracking on closed issues and click Save.
As a result, it will be impossible to log time on already closed issues in this project. Please note that this setting does not automatically propagate to child projects. You will need to enable the restriction individually for each child project where you want this feature to apply.
You can now download the entire contents of any folder in Planio Storage
directly from the web interface. The Download all files option is available in
the context menu of each folder and will provide you with a ZIP archive
containing the current contents of the selected folder.
To download all files within a project, simply navigate to the project's
Storage section and select Download all files from the top-right three dots
menu.
In most cases, your download will begin immediately. For larger data sets,
we’ll prepare the files in the background and send you an email with a download
link once everything is ready.
You might already be familiar with the file-sharing feature in Planio Storage.
This feature allows you to generate a link to share individual files with
others, even if they don’t have a Planio account. These sharing links always
point to the latest version of the file.
We’ve now expanded this functionality to allow folder sharing. The same rules
apply: recipients without Planio accounts can access shared folders (if your
permissions allow it — see below), and the link will always point to the latest
version of the folder’s contents. When someone accesses the link, a ZIP archive
of the folder’s current contents is generated and made available for download.
Folder sharing links can be created via the context menu or in the Sharing
section of the folder listing sidebar.
To enable sharing with non-registered users, be sure to grant the Anonymous
role the "View shared files" permission.
Please note that ZIP archives generated via the sharing feature do not
include protected files and folders. This differs from the "Download all
files" feature above, which includes these files if you have the appropriate
permissions. We added this limitation to prevent accidentally sharing
confidential files that might be buried deep within your folder structure.
We have been improving the filter functionalities in Planio by expanding and refining some existing filters as well as adding some whole new ones.
New Issue filters:
Notes
File description
Any searchable text
Issue filter updates:
the "related to" filter now supports entering multiple Issue IDs
there is a new "contains any of" operator for text fields
the "starts with" and "ends with" operators now support entering multiple words
the Watcher filter is now also available as a column
there are new historical operators "is or was", "was never" and "was" for the filters Tracker, Priority, Assignee, Category and Sprint/Milestone
New Spent time filter:
for Spent time, we added a filter (and column) for the associated Issue's Parent issue
We hope these improvements will make using Planio more productive for everyone and we would love to hear your feedback. If you have any questions regarding those new features or anything Planio related please get in touch.
