Import from Shortcut
Learn how to migrate your Shortcut stories and epics into Superthread
Import from Shortcut
Migrate your Shortcut (formerly Clubhouse) stories and epics into Superthread using our Shortcut API integration. We’ll preserve your data structure, including stories, epics, workflows, and more.
Prerequisites
Before starting the import process, ensure you have:
- A Shortcut API token with sufficient permissions
- Create one at https://app.shortcut.com/settings/account/api-tokens
- Stories that belong to a team (stories without a team will not be imported)
Getting Started
To start a Shortcut import:
- Go to Settings > Workspace > Importers
- Select Shortcut from the available import options
- Enter your Shortcut API token
- Review and confirm the import options before proceeding
Data Mapping
We’ll map your Shortcut data to Superthread fields as follows:
| Shortcut Field | Superthread Field |
|---|---|
| State | Status (mapped to most similar Superthread status) |
| Title | Title |
| Tasks | Checklist items |
| Labels | Tags (workspace level) |
| Due | Due date |
| Owner | Assignee |
| Requester | Creator |
| Story relationships | Equivalent Superthread relationships |
| Epic | Parent card |
| Priority | Priority field |
| Comments | Comments |
| Attachments | Attachments |
| Severity | Tags (workspace level) |
| Skill set | Tags (workspace level) |
Workflow Mapping
- Shortcut workflows are converted to Superthread boards
- Each state in the workflow becomes a list in the board
- A board is created for each “Team - Workflow” combination
- Epics are imported as parent cards to a dedicated “Epics” board
After Import
- All imported cards include a link back to their original Shortcut location
- You can view your import history in Settings > Workspace > Importers
- Severity and Skill set tags are created at the workspace level
- You can delete these tags from the workspace tags settings page if no longer needed
Best Practices
- Include Epics in your import to preserve story relationships
- Review and organize your boards after import
- Consider which tags you want to keep or remove
- Map team members to ensure proper assignment
