Jira Software

Nexla's bi-directional connectors can both send data to and receive data from any data system. This means that once a user has created or gained access to a credential for any data system, building any data flow to ingest data from or send data to a location within that data system requires only a few simple steps.

1. Credentials

This section provides information about and step-by-step instructions for creating a new Jira Software credential in Nexla.

• After selecting the data source/destination type, click in the Authenticate screen. This will open the Add New Credential window.

Configure the Credential

1. Enter a name for the credential in the Credential Name field.

2. Optional: Enter a description for the credential in the Credential Description field.

   Resource Descriptions

   Resource descriptions should provide information about the resource purpose, data freshness, etc. that can help the owner and other users efficiently understand and utilize the resource.

3. Enter or select the following information in the displayed fields:

   • JIRA Software URL – The JIRA API url used to access your account. Ex: https://mycompany.atlassian.net
   • Username – Your username for accessing your JIRA instance.
   • API Token – Your REST API Token for accesssing your JIRA instance.

Save the Credential

1. Once all of the relevant steps in the above sections have been completed, click the button at the bottom of the Add New Credential screen to save the configured credential.

2. The newly added credential will now appear in a tile on the Authenticate screen during data source/destination creation and can be selected for use with a new data source or destination.

2. Data Source

To ingest data from a Jira Software location, follow the instructions in Section 2 of Common Setup for REST API-Based Systems.

3. Data Destination

To send data to a Jira Software location, follow the instructions in Section 3 of Common Setup for Databases and Data Warehouses.
