board-github
PATCH /v1/board-github/links/{linkId}
Change a connection's sync direction or the board it sits alongside.
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 PATCH https://api.zinndigital.com/v1/board-github/links/{linkId} \

-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
`direction` moves a connection between two-way and read-only. A new connection is two-way immediately; read-only exists for a customer who wants a mirror they cannot break, and it is the honest remedy when GitHub keeps refusing our writes — turning writes off is better than a screen that accepts edits which never arrive.
