Get started with Jira Service Management for admins
Your first stop for learning how to get started with Jira Service Management.
Integrate with Jenkins
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?
Use Jira Service Management Jenkins Integration to forward Jenkins build alerts to Jira Service Management. Jira Service Management 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 a build related problem occurs in Jenkins, an alert is created in Jira Service Management automatically through the integration.
Set up the integration
Jenkins is an API-based integration. Setting it up involves the following steps:
Add a Jenkins integration in Jira Service Management
Configure the integration in Jenkins
Add a Jenkins integration
If you're using the Free or Standard plan in Jira Service Management, you can only add this integration from your team’s operations page. To access the feature through Settings (gear icon) > Products (under JIRA SETTINGS) > OPERATIONS, you need to be on Premium or Enterprise plan.
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 a Jenkins 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 “Jenkins”.
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 API URL and API key.
You will use these while configuring the integration in Jenkins 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 Jenkins
To configure the integration in Jenkins, complete the following steps:
In the Jenkins machine, go to Manage Jenkins > Go to plugin manager > Available and search for Jira Service Management Plugin, select and install it.

Configure the Step function in Jira Service Management
You can call Jira Service Management Trigger Step function from your pipeline stages or post actions. Jira Service Management Step function can be called with the following parameters (or without any parameter): tags(comma separated), teams(comma separated), priority, apiKey and apiUrl
An example request would be the following:
step
1
jsm(tags: "tag1,tag2" , teams: "team1", priority: "P1")
API key and API Url
You can configure API key and API url from Manage Jenkins > Configure System > Jira Service Management Notifier Settings.
You can also override API key and API url from the step function call like following: jsm(apiKey: "myApiKey", apiUrl: "myApiUrl")
