Connect tickets to external resources like GitHub issues, design documents, or integrated ticketing systems. When you paste a Ravenna ticket URL in Slack, it automatically unfurls with interactive ticket details and real-time updates.
Ticket links connect your Ravenna tickets to external resources and systems. Add manual links for context or let integrations create links automatically for bi-directional sync with tools like Slack, Jira, and Linear.
Add links to external resources directly from any ticket:
1

Open ticket

Navigate to the ticket you want to add a link to.
2

Access links section

Find the links section in the ticket details.
3

Add new link

Click Add Link or the plus button.
4

Enter URL

Enter the external URL you want to link to. Ravenna automatically fetches the page title to use as the link name.
5

Review or customize name

The name field auto-populates with the page title. You can edit it to customize the link name if desired.
6

Save link

Click Save to create the link.
When you paste a URL, Ravenna automatically fetches the page title to populate the link name. For Ravenna ticket URLs, it uses the ticket title. For external URLs, it extracts the page title from the site’s metadata. You can always edit the auto-generated name before saving.
Some links are created automatically through system integrations:

Slack

  • Automatically creates links when tickets are created from Slack messages
  • Provides direct access to the original Slack conversation
  • Creates links when tickets are synchronized with Jira issues
  • Enables bi-directional updates between Ravenna and Jira
  • Maintains real-time sync through webhooks
  • Automatically links when Linear issues are created
  • Provides direct access to Linear workspace issues
  • Supports workflow automation between systems

Ticket unfurls in Slack
