Jira

Sync your Jira issues as Custom Objects. You can seamlessly manage and track issues between Vitally and Jira.

About Jira

This bidirectional synchronization lets you pull all Jira Issues as Custom Objects into Vitally. Additionally, you can create new Jira issues in Vitally, update existing ones, and synchronize them back to Jira. You can either create a Table View or view them while in an Account 360 to keep up to date on any Jira Issues right within Vitally.

We will import the last 12 months of Jira Issues on the initial integration.

Please note that the Reporter field is assumed to hold internal user email addresses. If you are adding end-user email addresses to this field, we will auto-create internal users from those email addresses.
