Get started with Jira Service Management for admins
Your first stop for learning how to get started with Jira Service Management.
Integrate with Desk.com
If you’re a customer who shifted your operations from Opsgenie to Jira Service Management, adding new instances of this integration isn’t possible in Jira Service Management. You can only edit the integrations that originally shifted from Opsgenie.
What does Jira Service Management offer Desk.com users?
Use Jira Service Management's Desk.com Integration to forward Desk.com alerts to Jira Service Management. Jira Service Management determines the right people to notify based on on-call schedules– notifies via text messages (SMS), phone calls and iOS & Android push notifications, and escalates alerts until the alert is acknowledged or closed. Forward Jira Service Management's "add note" alert activities to Desk.com.
Functionality of the integration
When new case is created on Desk.com, an alert is created in Jira Service Management automatically through the integration.
When the case on Desk.com closed or resolved, the alert is closed in Jira Service Management.
When a note is added to the alert in Jira Service Management, the note is also added to the case on Desk.com.
