This article explains how to connect your external tools to Novus. Integrations help you track issues, manage source control, and receive notifications directly in your workspace.

Connecting your tools allows Novus to seamlessly interact with the platforms you already use every day. You can search your issue trackers, send automated reports to your team, and keep your project launches organized in one place.

Available integration categories

Novus supports integrations across three main categories:

• Issue Tracking (Jira and Linear). Search for tickets, fetch issue details, and create Novus launches directly from your existing projects or epics.
• Source Control (GitHub). Connect your repositories to help Novus understand your codebase.
• Communication (Slack). Receive real-time push notifications and scheduled reports in your team channels.

1. Go to Admin > Integrations.
2. Locate the tool you want to connect under its category.
3. Select Connect.

When the authorization finishes, a success message appears, and the tool shows as Connected.
