Event Target for Jira

This event Target receives CloudEvents and invokes a Jira endpoint.

Prerequisite(s)

  • Jira instance or Atlassian cloud tenant
  • User API token

User API token

  1. Open Account settings > Security > Create and Manage API Tokens
  2. Click Create API token and fill out the token name.
  3. Copy the API token and create a secret for the Jira token at TriggerMesh.

Consult the Secrets guide for more information about how to add a secret.

Deploying an Instance of the Target

Open the Bridge creation screen and add a Target of type Jira.

Adding a Jira Target

In the Target creation form, provide a name for the event Target, and add the following information:

  • User: the Jira user account that created the token.
  • URL: base URL for the Jira instance.

After clicking the Save button, the console will self-navigate to the Bridge editor. Proceed by adding the remaining components to the Bridge.

After submitting the Bridge, and allowing for some configuration time, a green check mark on the main Bridges page indicates that the Bridge with a Jira event Target was successfully created.
