How to Configure Project "Push To" Settings

What Are Project Push-to Settings?

Agiloop INVENT allows you to push features, stories, and tasks directly into popular project management (PM) tools such as Jira, Azure DevOps, and Trello.

To do this, each project must first be configured with the appropriate export connection settings. These settings define:

• Which PM tool to push to

• How INVENT concepts map to work items in that tool

• The credentials and identifiers needed to create items successfully

Export settings are configured per project.

Where to Find Export Settings

To configure export settings:

1. Open your project in Agiloop INVENT

2. Open Project Settings

3. Navigate to the Export to section

4. Select the PM tool you want to connect (Excel, Azure DevOps, Jira, or Trello)

Once selected, tool-specific configuration options will appear.

Supported Export Destinations

INVENT currently supports exporting to:

• Jira

• Azure DevOps (ADO)

• Trello

• Microsoft Excel (formatted workbook)

Each destination requires different configuration details based on how that system manages work items.

Example: Configuring a Jira Connection

When Jira is selected as the export destination, INVENT requires the following information.

Jira Connection Settings

Base URL

The base URL of your Jira Cloud instance.

Example:

https://yourcompany.atlassian.net

Username

The email address associated with your Jira account.

This must match the account that owns the API token.

API Token

A Jira API token used to authenticate INVENT with Jira.

• API tokens are generated in Jira (Atlassian account settings)

• Passwords are not supported

• Tokens are stored securely

Project Key

The Jira project key where items should be created.

Example:

AID

This determines which Jira project receives the exported work items.

Mapping INVENT Concepts to Jira Issue Types

INVENT allows you to define how its internal concepts map to Jira issue types.

Common mappings include:

• Feature → Epic

• Story → Story

• Task → Sub-task

These mappings are configurable to match your Jira project’s issue type setup.

This ensures that exported items:

• Appear in the correct hierarchy

• Follow your team’s Jira conventions

• Work with existing workflows and boards

Automatically Archive Features After Export (Optional)

You can optionally enable Automatically archive feature after export.

When enabled:

• Features that are successfully pushed to the PM tool are archived in INVENT

• Archived features remain visible for reference

• Archived features are excluded from active planning and estimates

This is useful when INVENT is used primarily for planning, and execution happens elsewhere.

Connection Status

Once all required fields are valid, INVENT will indicate the connection status (for example, Connected).

A successful connection means:

• Credentials are valid

• INVENT can create items in the target system

• The project is ready for export

Configuring Other Tools (Azure DevOps, Trello, Excel)

Other PM tools follow the same general pattern:

• Select the destination

• Provide required credentials and identifiers

• Configure mappings between INVENT concepts and destination work items

Each tool may require:

• Different authentication methods

• Different project or board identifiers

• Different mapping options

INVENT only shows the fields required for the selected tool.

What Happens After Configuration?

Once export settings are configured:

• You can push individual features or entire feature bundles

• INVENT will create the corresponding work items in the target system

• Structure, hierarchy, descriptions, and estimates are preserved

No manual re-entry is required.

Need Help?

If you’re unsure what values to enter, or if a connection fails:

• Double-check credentials and permissions in the target PM tool

• Ensure the selected project or board exists

• Contact support if you need help configuring your integration
