How to integrate Sortly in automation workflow?
3 simple steps to make your Sortly connected with other apps in automation workflows on WEXTL. Up to 10 minutes integration set up.
STEP 2
Connect Sortly
When prompted, authorize access to Sortly in WEXTL once. Sortly credentials are encrypted and never shared with WEXTL. Authorization will be reused in any future API calls [3].
WEXTL wants to integrate with your Sortly account. Approve?
STEP 3
Build a workflow
Build your workflow with Sortly yourself or with WEXTL® AI Builder. Connect Sortly to any available integrations [5], or use HTTP node to go beyond them.

How Sortly connects and integrates with WEXTL
Save and approve your credentials once — WEXTL® stores authorization information encrypted and reuses the authentication whenever Sortly app is called in workflows. That allows your project management automations to run without your attention, per defined schedule [7]. Explore documentation [6] for a detailed list of fields that Sortly supports.
The following table illustrates what fields Sortly integration require during authorization flow inside our workflow builder [4].

Connect Sortly to popular apps on WEXTL
Enter a name of the other app you want to sync with Sortly below. Click on selected app to explore integration options with Sortly. If the app you search for is not available in WEXTL yet, you can use HTTP node [10] instead to integrate it directly.
Example automation with Sortly integration
Select Watch Item Groups trigger from Sortly - this will be a starting point in your automation. Whenever event happens in Sortly, workflow will start [7] from Watch Item Groups node.
Search for Create an Item, connect it as the next step of integration sequence. You can use filters between Watch Item Groups and Create an Item, so only important data pass from Watch Item Groups to the next step. WEXTL gives you full control over the process of Sortly automation. All parts of workflow are visible on the canvas [4].
Sortly on WEXTL has 23 modules for building project management automations. Explore Sortly documentation for more.
Video slide demonstrates how Watch Item Groups and Create an Item [6] nodes are used in Sortly workflow.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about automating Sortly in your workflows.
Sortly has 5 triggers, including "Watch Alerts", "Watch Item Groups", and "Watch Items", and more. Triggers are start points of the workflow, and automations may start from them.
Integration has 18 actions, including "Get an Item", "Get an Item Group", and "List Alerts", and more. Refer to our Sortly Documentation for detailed inputs and outputs.
No. Most automations are built visually on the canvas by picking triggers, actions, and mapping fields. You can add custom JavaScript with Functions when advanced logic is needed — but our customers do that in rare cases [4].
Yes. Connections are authenticated per account, credentials are encrypted at rest, and you can enforce approvals and team-level access controls on any automation.
The Sortly integration on WEXTL runs directly on its vendor public API — every field name, authentication method, and rate limit is controlled by Sortly official API and covered in documentation [3]. WEXTL handles the request signing and pagination for you.
Absolutely. Where Sortly provides native webhooks, you can use instant triggers to eliminate polling delay. For custom webhooks, WEXTL offers Custom Webhook node, so you can start automation whenever Sortly or any other service sends event to webhook URL.
WEXTL is an AI-first visual canvas. The platform allows you to describe automation in plain text — and AI will wire nodes for Sortly inside the workflow builder [4]. You can also use built-in workflow nodes (AI Agent, Human in the Loop, Condition, Aggregate Results) in pair with Sortly modules to craft complex integration flows with branches, filtering, and conditional logic. There are absolutely no limits of what you can build.
