Triage Kaiten cards across boards and hold the deadlines

Connect Kaiten to the AI agent: spaces, boards, cards, checklists, tags and comments. The agent creates and moves cards and flags overdue work.

How the agent works with Kaiten

The agent calls the API of your Kaiten at the address you entered when connecting — the cloud https://your-company.kaiten.ru or your own domain if Kaiten runs on your servers. It reads spaces, boards and columns, cards with their due dates, assignees, tags, checklists and custom properties, comments and attached files, and out of that assembles a triage across boards: what is overdue, what has no assignee, what has not moved.

The agent takes the way Kaiten is built literally: the state of work here is set not by a separate status field but by the column the card sits in, so it reads «done» from the position on the board rather than from a label inside the card itself. It reads the structure just as literally: space, board, column and card are four levels, and the same question about what is overdue gives different lists at board level and at space level, so the agent always names the slice it counted on.

When writing, the agent does exactly what it was asked for: it creates a card in the right space and column, sets the assignee, due date and tags, adds a comment, moves the card between columns and boards, and archives what is finished. Before a move it checks that the board and the column exist and are open to the key, and after a change it re-reads the card — so it shows the actual state rather than what it sent.

The agent holds the request rate itself so as not to run into the server limits, and takes large boards page by page rather than in a single call. About new cards, comments and files it learns from Kaiten webhooks rather than by polling in circles, so a fresh card reaches the digest without waiting for the next sweep. If data is missing or the key cannot see it, the agent says so directly instead of showing an empty table.

Integration scenarios

Card triage across boards

The agent pulls cards from every board you can access and shows what is overdue and what has no assignee.

A card straight from the discussion

The agent creates a card in the right space and column, sets the assignee, due date and tags, and adds a comment.

Moving cards through columns

The agent moves a card to another column, updates its fields and archives whatever the team has already finished.

Morning board digest

The agent sends a board digest at the start of the day and pings you separately about a new card, comment or file.

Who is carrying what

The agent breaks the cards of a space down by assignee and shows how much each person has in flight and whose deadlines are burning this week.

What was agreed in the comments

The agent reads the comments and attachments on a card, pulls the decisions out of the discussion and shows what is still unsettled.

Что зависло на досках?

41 карточка просрочена, из них 12 — без ответственного.

Прошёл по семи доскам в трёх пространствах: дольше всего стоит колонка «На ревью» — там 9 карточек не двигались больше двух недель. Готовые перенёс в архив, их было 23.

How to connect

Before you connect

  • Rights to the spaces and boards you need on your account
  • Kaiten webhooks, if new cards must reach you immediately
  1. 1

    Sign in with an account that sees the boards

    The key inherits the rights of whoever created it: the agent sees exactly the spaces, boards and cards that user can open. A private space stays invisible.

  2. 2

    Copy your Kaiten address from the browser bar

    In the cloud it looks like https://your-company.kaiten.ru — no path, no trailing slash. If Kaiten is self-hosted, use the domain you open your boards at.

  3. 3

    Open "API access key" in your profile

    Avatar in the top right corner → "Profile settings", then "API access key" in the left menu. The same screen opens directly at /profile/api-key.

FAQ

Two fields: an API key and the address of your Kaiten. Create the key under Profile settings, then API access key, then Create key — it looks like a 36-character UUID. Take the address from the address bar: it is https://your-company.kaiten.ru or your own domain if Kaiten runs on your servers.

Spaces, boards, cards, comments, checklists, tags, custom properties and members — exactly the ones the key owner can open.

Yes: it creates and updates cards, moves them between columns and boards, adds comments and archives finished cards.

Yes, if you set up Kaiten webhooks: the agent receives events about created and updated cards, new comments and attached files.
