Jira Platform Setup

The Jira Platform Synapse enables data synchronization between Jira Platform objects and Syncari entities using the Jira API. After the Synapse is Authenticated, a user can Activate the Jira Platform Synapse, which enables Syncari to replicate the schema of your Jira Platform project and make it available within the Unified Data Model. Using the Sync Studio, a user can map Jira Platform objects to Syncari entities, and Jira Service Management fields to Syncari fields. 

If your Jira security requires you to whitelist an IP you can find that here.

 

Jira Setup

You will need the following information from your Jira Service Management subscription:

  • Endpoint URL (eg. https://reade.atlassian.net)
  • Service Desk ID (eg. FA)
  • Username
  • API Token

Follow these steps in Jira Service Management to prepare the integration between Jira Service Management and Syncari:

  1. Login to Jira Service Management
  2. Navigate to your Help Center Project
