Changing Project Connections / Endpoints
Gary Gaspar
Flexibility in Changing Project Connections
Allow users to change the connection of their existing Marker.io projects to different project management tools or to different projects within the same tool. This feature aims to provide greater flexibility and ease in managing project transitions.
Current Limitation
At present, once a Marker.io project is created, it cannot be switched to a different integration or a different project within the same tool without creating a new Marker.io project.
Proposed Solution
- Switching Integration Project:Enable users to change the connection of an existing project. For instance, switching from Trello board A to Trello board B seamlessly.
- Switching Integration ToolFor example, switching from Trello to Jira.
- Adding Integrations to Existing Projects:Allow users to add an integration to a project that was initially set up without any integration.
Benefits
- Saves Time:Reduces the need to set up new projects from scratch for every change.
- Maintains Continuity:Keeps the history and context intact, aiding in seamless transitions.
- Increases Flexibility:Adapts to the dynamic needs of project management.

I consider this feature as essential. Creating a new project if an endpoint changes is not very convenient at all. What about any existing data for the project? Existing workflows? If I'd discovered this during my trial, I would have chosen an alternative :(

The ability to switch the integration project would be very helpful. We keep running into this issue where we need to change the Asana project where the tasks are saved to. We end up creating multiple Marker.io projects for the same project just because it needs to connect to another Asana project. Please implement this!!!

Enable integrations in existing projects

Dear marker Team,
first of all thanks a lot for your amazing tool! We're discovering it with my team and we're very happy on how it works with our users.
Now my feedback/feature request: it would be very nice to be able to enable integrations (e.g. with Github) with an existing project. At the moment, the only thing you can do if you decide to add an integration later on is to create a brand new project, add a new widget id to your website and more or less start from scratch.

I'd like to see this added for Asana as well!

Would be great to have this for ClickUp as well. Had to re-create all my projects once I realized you couldn't update this.

I really need this for Jira. Even the option to disconnect completely and reconnect the projects again would be helpful

It is irritating that you are locked into a specific project (in my case, Asana project) after the initial setup. At the very least this should be made more clear to users when doing the initial configuration.
During onboarding I did not understand the ramifications of my Asana project choice, so now I need to go back and file a new ticket with the devs to get this re-implemented with the new snippet, which is frustrating. Expected this to be configurable directly in marker.io
Mark
This would be huge for Clickup for me. Currently, if I want to change the end point I have to delete the project from marker and re-add so I can re do this setting. Just creates so much unnecessary work and problems. To me this is more of a bug fix than a feature request.

Also would be cool to report to multiple integrations. For example, i report to Asana for my dev team, but my client uses Basecamp for communication with me. Creating a task in both services would be great because then i can automatically have a place to chat with my dev team in one and with the client in the other. Posting a comment or changing status in marker.io could post that across both.

Hi Michal,
While we have multiple integrations as a feature request here:
We will not prioritize this in the short to medium term due to the complication between our integrations. We recommend https://unito.io/ as a decent solution for this. Mind checking it out?
Cheers,
Joe

Joe Scanlon: All good. This is a very specific use case for me. But changing the endpoint is pretty useful from one Asana project to another. I've had to do it a couple times now as projects shift from a build phase to a maintenance phase or other reasons.
