Can you post directly to a specific board using the api endpoint?

I am trying to automate some tasks and was wondering if there is a way to directly post to a specific board into the "To do" column after the story is created using the jira API

Hi @Josh McNeill ,

Welcome to the community. 

It might work, but depends on your setup.

If you have a kanban board, it depends only on the status. So you have to transition the issue to the right status after creating it.

If you have a Scrum board, you have to add the issue to the sprint to show up.

Hey thank you for the response I wasn't sure if I asked correctly but I figured it out. I used the custom field for the epics that were on that board on issue creation and it worked.
