How to customize the integration?
Once the token is added, you can customize your recipe any way you want with the applicable fields. For example, when an issue is created in a project in Jira, you can create an item on your board and sync future changes from Jira-
You can also set a reminder if you want to update your team members with a summary of an issue in your projects in Jira-
Supported Fields for Mapping
- Currently, the following fields are supported for mapping the integration between JIRA and monday.com: issuekey, issuetype, project, string, priority, user, status, option, resolution, number, watches, datetime, date, progress, time spent, and votes.
- If using "time spent", the associated data will only sync to monday.com after the task is marked as done in JIRA.
- All Jira custom fields can be mapped into a status column in monday.com, as long as the custom field type is one that is supported (see above).
- The following fields are supported for mapping the integration from monday.com to Jira (the reverse of the above): string, priority, option, number, datetime, and date.
Creating a two-way sync
A two-way sync occurs when data is being both pushed from monday.com into Jira and pulled from Jira into monday.com. This makes it so that your data matches in both platforms and remains up-to-date.
To create a two-way sync, in addition to the recipe used in the first example: "When an issue is created in this project, create an item and sync future changes from Jira"
You'll need to set up the following recipe: "When an item is created or updated, create an issue in this project of this type with these fields, and sync all future changes from this board"
Choose the correct project. In this case, we're going to use "KB Iteration Planning" again. For the type, we're also going to choose "Task" again.
After choosing your project and type, select "these fields" to begin mapping.
With this recipe, when we’re mapping, the fields to the left are Jira data fields rather than the names of your monday.com columns. Here you’re mapping monday.com columns into Jira. It’s the reverse of the set up we walked through earlier in this article.
Once you finish mapping and click the "Add To Board" button, your two-way sync is ready to go!
How to delete it?
You can turn off and/or delete your integration in the integration menu-
You can also edit the integration and the Jira account you want to connect it to in case you change your mind later!
