Integrate with Errorception

This article highlights a new alerting feature that's natively available in Jira Service Management which is gradually rolling out to some Jira Service Management Cloud customers. It may not yet be visible or available on your site.

What does the integration offer?

Jira Service Management has a Webhook integration with Errorception. Use the integration to send Errorception incidents to Jira Service Management API with detailed information. Jira Service Management acts as a dispatcher for Errorception alerts, determines the right people to notify based on on-call schedules– notifies via email, text messages (SMS), phone calls, and iOS & Android push notifications, and escalates alerts until the alert is acknowledged or closed.

How does the integration work?

When an alert is created in Errorception, an alert is also automatically created in Jira Service Management through the integration.

Set up the integration

Errorception is an API-based integration. Setting it up involves the following steps:

Add an Errorception integration in Jira Service Management
Configure the integration in Errorception

Add an Errorception integration

Bidirectional integrations aren’t supported in Free and Standard plans. All the other integrations are supported at a team level in Free and Standard; however, for their outgoing part to work, you need to upgrade to a higher plan. To add any integration at a site level through Settings (gear icon) > Products (under JIRA SETTINGS) > OPERATIONS, you need to be either on Premium or Enterprise.

Adding an integration from your team’s operations page makes your team the owner of the integration. This means Jira Service Management only assigns the alerts received through this integration to your team.

To add an Errorception integration in Jira Service Management, complete the following steps:

Go to your team’s operations page.
On the left navigation panel, select Integrations and then Add integration.
Run a search and select “Errorception”.
On the next screen, enter a name for the integration.
Optional: Select a team in Assignee team if you want a specific team to receive alerts from the integration.
Select Continue.
The integration is saved at this point.
Expand the Steps to configure the integration section and copy the Webhook URL.
You will use this URL while configuring the integration in Errorception later.
Select Turn on integration.
The rules you create for the integration will work only if you turn on the integration.

Configure the integration in Errorception

In Errorception, go to the project settings page.
Select Service Webhooks > WebHooks.
Paste the URL previously copied from Jira Service Management into WebHook URL.
Be sure to select "active".
Select Save.

You can further define alert properties on the Errorception integration page in Jira Service Management.
