Rules supported by Unito's integration

Unito's rules allow you to filter out ADO work items (e.g. epics, issues, and tasks) you don't want synced to other tools. Here are the fields you can use in Unito's rules and a few ways you can use them with other tools you can integrate with Unito.

  • Status: If you don't want to sync your entire backlog to other tools, you can filter out any backlogged issues with this rule. You could also set up rules that automatically sync work items when they hit a certain status to get input from other teams.
  • Assignee: If certain developers are working on projects that cross department barriers, you can use this rule to only sync issues they're involved in to other tools. Similarly, if you have assignees in ADO working as intermediaries between two tools, assigning an issue to them can get it synced across.
  • Tags: With tags giving you the ability to organize ADO work items any way you like, being able to filter them with Unito rules allows you to support just about any workflow.
  • Work item type: ADO has multiple work item types, and you can choose which ones you want to filter out of your Unito integration.
  • Dropdowns: These fields are incredibly flexible, and Unito's rules are as well. Filter out work items based on specific options in your dropdown to support ticket escalations, agile development, and other workflows.
  • Area path: ADO's area paths allow you to organize multiple developers into specific functions, and Unito rules help support that organizational structure as you sync ADO work items to other tools.
