Integration Builder: Authenticate a Jira Cloud Connector

My colleague, Daniel Wille, described how to authenticate an Integration Builder Jira On-Premise Connector in his recent blog post. In this post, we’ll look at authenticating a Jira Cloud connector.

Create a Jira Developer Account and Instance

Use the app switcher to navigate to Jira

Note that as part of the setup you will specify an URL for your instance. We’ll need this later when we authenticate our Integration Builder Jira connector. Mine is https://lbrenman.atlassian.net/

Jira user interface

Note that I have two projects created and your interface will be empty as you have created no projects.

New Incident Create

Note the incident id of the incident you just created. In my example above, you can see the id of my incident is IDT-81. In this case, IDT is my project key/id and IDT-81 is my incident key/id. We may need the project key when querying the incidents using the connector.

Authenticate Your Integration Builder Jira Connector

You can find documentation on the Jira connector here.

Jira Connector Instance Authentication

Note that you can enable Events using Webhooks (as I’ve done above) if your flow is triggered by a Jira connector event. No extra parameters are required to be entered for enabling webhooks.

Test the Jira Connector

Jira Connector API Docs GET /incidents – part 1
Jira Connector API Docs GET /incidents – part 2

Note that in the response above there are incidents from my other project in addition to the incident we just created.

Summary

In this blog post, we described how to create a Jira developer instance and authenticate an Integration Builder Connector to the Jira instance. Now you can build flows that leverage Jira as we’ve done here.

In future blog posts, we’ll look at how to do more advanced operations such as changing an incident status and how Jira custom fields work.
