Automate Height.app workflow

12 October 2022

Every so and then I feel the need to reflect on my “work workflow”. I optimized my calendar, my git, my terminal workflow and more. Today I’m optimizing the task management workflow for me and my team.

I’m using height.app which provides a nice and simple API1 and webhook, I can try to shape height.app as much as possible to make it happen.

Here are the 2 automations I added:

  1. Set start date automatically when moving a task from “to do” to “in progress”.
  2. Mark a task as “Done” when a PR has been merged into the default branch.

You can set up the same automations on Cloudflare worker and even extend to support more by checking out my GitHub repository:
