# Shortcut

> Connect Shortcut to Iru Compliance with a workspace API token in the Shortcut-Token header to collect story, epic, iteration, and workflow membership evidence.

### About Shortcut

Iru uses the **Shortcut REST API v3** with the **`Shortcut-Token`** header. Tokens are **workspace-wide** and highly sensitive - Shortcut may **auto-revoke** keys found in public repositories.

### How It Works

```http theme={null}
Shortcut-Token: YOUR_TOKEN
```

| Detail             | Value                          |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------ |
| **Category**       | Engineering project management |
| **Authentication** | API token (custom header)      |

Official references: [API tokens](https://help.shortcut.com/hc/en-us/articles/205701199-Shortcut-API-Tokens), [REST v3](https://developer.shortcut.com/api/rest/v3).

### Prerequisites

* Shortcut user with access to the target **workspace**.

### Connect Shortcut to Iru

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Shortcut">
    <Note>
      Complete this tab before you connect the source in Compliance.
    </Note>

    <Steps>
      <Step title="Sign in to Shortcut">
        Open [Shortcut](https://www.shortcut.com) and sign in with a user who can access the **workspace** Iru should read.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Open your Avatar menu">
        Select your **Avatar** in the Shortcut header.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Open Settings">
        Choose **Settings** from the menu.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Open Account and API Tokens">
        Select **Account**, then **API Tokens** (wording may read **Personal API tokens**).
      </Step>

      <Step title="Generate a named token">
        Enter a name for the token (for example **Iru Compliance**), then select **Generate Token**.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Copy the token once">
        **Copy** the token value once. **Regenerate** invalidates the old token, so update Iru if you rotate. Shortcut may **auto-revoke** keys found in public repositories.
      </Step>

      Continue on the [**Iru Compliance**](#iru-compliance) tab.
    </Note>

      </Step>

        Paste into the **`Shortcut-Token`** field when prompted.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Finish the connection">
        Click **Submit API Key**. When the connection succeeds, the wizard shows **Connection Configured**.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Confirm the source is Active">
        Close the **Iru is requesting access to external services** browser tab, then return to **Compliance** → **Sources** and confirm the **Shortcut** card is **Active**.

    </Steps>
  </Tab>
