PUT /v1/board-github/links/{linkId}/items/{itemId}/card

Attach a GitHub item to a board card, or detach it.

All board-github endpoints

Authentication

Send an API key as a bearer token. This endpoint does not state a specific permission in the specification, so give your key the least it needs and check the response rather than assuming.

This endpoint takes no organisation id. Your key already identifies the organisation it belongs to, and the response is scoped to it.

Try it

Replace anything in angle brackets with your own values, and the key placeholder with a key from your dashboard.

curl -X PUT https://api.zinndigital.com/v1/board-github/links/{linkId}/items/{itemId}/card \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer zdk_live_…" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{  }'

Signed in? The API console in your dashboard fills in your real organisation id and your own key, and runs the request against the live API so you can see the actual response. Open this endpoint in the API console

Details

The linkage the integration exists for: an agency shows its client *"the work is In Progress"* without giving the client a GitHub seat. `card_id: null` detaches. The card must belong to the same organisation as the connection. RLS already bounds both reads to the caller's tenancy; this bounds them to each other, because a card from another of the same agency's boards is in scope for RLS and is still the wrong card.

Parameters
