Anyone with admin permissions to a repository can configure autolink references to link issues, pull requests,{% if currentVersion == "free-pro-team@latest" or currentVersion == "github-ae@latest" or currentVersion ver_gt "enterprise-server@2.21" %} commit messages, and release descriptions{% else %} and commit messages{% endif %} to external third-party services.

If you use Zendesk to track user-reported tickets, for example, you can reference a ticket number in the pull request you open to fix the issue.
