Get started with Jira Service Management for admins
Your first stop for learning how to get started with Jira Service Management.
Integrate with WhatsUp Gold
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's WhatsUp Gold integration to sends WhatsUp Gold alerts to Jira Service Management API with detailed information. Jira Service Management acts as a dispatcher for WhatsUp Gold 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 WhatsUp Gold triggers an alert, an alert is created in Jira Service Management automatically through the integration.
When WhatsUp Gold closes the alert, the related alert in Jira Service Management is closed automatically through the integration.
Set up the integration
WhatsUp Gold is an API-based integration. Setting it up involves the following steps:
Add a WhatsUp Gold integration in Jira Service Management
Configure the integration in WhatsUp Gold

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.
