EHPT

Employement Hero Pivotal Tracker: A simple command line tool to import stories to Pivotal Tracker via CSV file.

  $ gem install ehpt

  $ ehpt <path_to/stories.csv> <API_TOKEN> <PROJECT_ID>

That's it. Enjoy.

This is the sample csv file. For more information about the story attributes, please visit Pivotal Tracker API Documentation

• You can specify the requester of a story by using the initials. Instead of providing the requested_by_id attribute, you can provide the attribute requested_by with value is the initials of the user.
• Similar to requested_by, you can specify the owners of a story by using the initial. Instead of providing the owner_ids attribute, you can provide the attribute owners with value is the list of initials of the users.
• Initials is how your initials will appear to others in PT. Please visit Pivotal Tracker for more information.

Navigate to https://www.pivotaltracker.com/profile and scroll down, you should see your API TOKEN there. If you don't already have it, create one.

If you don't specify the requested_by_id or requested_by in your csv file, the user with this API TOKEN will be the requester of the stories.

Navigate to your project dashboard. The last digits in the url is the project's id. The url should be something like https://www.pivotaltracker.com/n/projects/1234567

At Employment Hero, we have a practice to prefix the card's title with the last 3 digits of its id. We then refer to the card by this new 3-digits id. If you don't need this 3-digits prefix, you can use the built-in import/export feature from Pivotal Tracker. More information here
