About the Jira activity package

JIRA is a tool developed by Atlassian. It is used for bug tracking, issue tracking, and project management, as well as service desk applications. It is highly configurable and flexible to allow for usage in a wide variety of environment and processes. The Jira workflows, issue types, and screens enable tailoring for almost any scenario and can easily be change via the administration GUI.

The Jira activities enable you to automate interactions with your Jira platform. Using the Jira SDK, this activities package gives your UiPath robot(s) the ability to manage issues, projects, upload, and download attachments, and related information to issue related content such as comments.

This Jira activity package supports only Jira Cloud instances.

If you're ready to start using the Jira activities, see the Get Started section below. To learn more about the package, keep reading to see How it works.

To enable the outbound automation between UiPath and Jira, the activities establish an authenticated connection to a Jira custom application using the Jira Scope activity.

After the connection is established, the other Jira activities send requests to the applicable Jira API operations using the parameters you enter in the activities' input properties (via the properties panel and/or Object Wizard). If the requests are successful, the activities return the response values to the output property variables.

This is where we need your help.

Before the scope activity can be used to establish a connection, you must complete the steps outlined in the Setup guide. After you complete the Setup steps, you can begin building your automation projects.

Before you build your first project, complete the steps in the Setup guide.
