## About repository autolinks

To help streamline your workflow, you can use the REST API to add autolinks to external resources like JIRA issues and Zendesk tickets. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/managing-repository-settings/configuring-autolinks-to-reference-external-resources).

{% data variables.product.prodname_github_apps %} require repository administration permissions with read or write access to use these endpoints.
