Connect Tines to Jira Cloud Platform to create powerful automations with the below authentication guide.
First, get the relevant credentials needed in Jira.
To authenticate Jira for use with Tines, you will need the following:
API token associated with an account
Email of account associated with API token
We recommend creating a Tines service account. That way, actions created and run from Tines will be appropriately identified as from Tines.
Jira domain
Step by step instructions:
Log in to https://id.atlassian.com/manage/api-tokens with the account you would like to associate the API token with.
Click "Create API token"
From the dialog that appears, enter a label (e.g. 'Tines') for your token and click Create.
Copy the API key
Then, create a Jira credential in Tines
Jira Software connect flow (recommended):
Login to your Tines tenant
Navigate to the team that will be using the API and click "Credentials"
Click "+ New Credential" and select "Jira Software" and follow the prompts to connect.
Manual credential creation
This method is not recommended as the Jira Software connect flow creates this credential with much less complexity. However, if you need to create this credential set manually, see the following steps below:
Click "+ New Credential" and select "Text"
Input the values for the Jira credential
Name: Required
Description: Optional
Value: Your API token
Metadata: Enable metadata and add the below metadata:
{
"domain": "your Jira domain",
"username": "the email address of the account that created your API token"
}This will allow you to reference the credential's metadata via the
INFOkey. This is also used in our templates.
Optional
Domains: Ensure this credential can only be used when making HTTP requests to specific domains.
Access: What other teams can also use the credential.
