Get started with Jira Service Management for admins
Your first stop for learning how to get started with Jira Service Management.
Integrate with StatusCake
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 the StatusCake integration to send alerts to Jira Service Management's API, with detailed information. Jira Service Management acts as a dispatcher for StatusCake alerts, determines the right people to notify based on on-call schedules– notifies via email, text messages (SMS), phone calls, and iPhone & Android push notifications, and escalates alerts until the alert is acknowledged or closed.
How does the integration work?
When an alert is created in StatusCake, an alert is created automatically in Jira Service Management.
The Jira Service Management alert is closed automatically when StatusCake down alert is cleared.
Set up the integration
StatusCake is an API-based integration. Setting it up involves the following steps:
Add a StatusCake integration in Jira Service Management
Configure the integration in StatusCake
Add a StatusCake 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.

Go to your team’s operations page.
On the left navigation panel, select Integrations and then Add integration.

The integration is saved at this point.Expand the Steps to configure the integration section and copy the API key.
