Get started with Jira Service Management for admins
Your first stop for learning how to get started with Jira Service Management.
Integrate with Zapier
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.
Connect two or more apps to automate repetitive tasks without coding. Move info between your web apps automatically, so you can focus on your most important work. It's easy enough that anyone can build their own app workflows with just a few clicks.
What does the integration offer?
Use Jira Service Management's Zapier Integration to create an alert in Jira Service Management from more than a 1000 apps in Zapier. Jira Service Management 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.
How does the integration work?
When a trigger is activated in Zapier, an alert is created in Jira Service Management automatically through the integration.
Set up the integration
Zapier is an API integration. Setting it up involves the following steps:
Add a Zapier integration in Jira Service Management
Configure the integration in Zapier
Add a Zapier 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 Zapier 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 “Zapier”.
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 integration URL generated for your account (that contains the API key and API URL).
You will use this key while configuring the integration in Zapier later.Select Turn on integration.
The rules you create for the integration will work only if you turn on the integration.
