Your first stop for learning how to get started with Jira Service Management.
Integrate with RingCentral (Email)
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 an email integration with RingCentral. Use the integration to send RingCentral alerts to Jira Service Management, with detailed information. Jira Service Management acts as a dispatcher for RingCentral alerts, determines the right people to notify based on on-call schedules– using email, text messages (SMS), phone calls and iOS & Android push notifications, and escalates alerts until the alert is acknowledged or closed. This document describes how to configure the integration.
How does the integration work?
When a notification condition such as Missed Calls, Voicemail Messages, Received Faxes, Fax Transmission Result, Received Text Messages happens in RingCentral, an alert is created in Jira Service Management automatically through the integration.
Set up the integration
RingCentral is an email integration. Setting it up involves the following steps:
Add a RingCentral integration in Jira Service Management
Configure the integration in RingCentral
Add a RingCentral 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 a RingCentral 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 “RingCentral”.
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 email address.
You will use this email address while configuring the integration in RingCentral later.Select Turn on integration.
The rules you create for the integration will work only if you turn on the integration.
