Integrating Saber Feedback with Jira
Create an issue in Jira when a feedback report is submitted.
Jira Integration is a two-stage process.
Step 1
First you need to enter the following information to authenticate your Jira account.
Jira instance URL
This is the entire URL to your Jira Application, including the https:// at the beginning. It typically ends with .atlassian.net
Username
This is the email address you use to log into Jira.
Important note on usernames: your username must be an email address (yourname@yourcompany.com). Older style Jira usernames (your_name) won’t work properly.
Jira API token
Give Saber Feedback permission to access your Jira account by creating an ‘API token’.
You do this in your Atlassian account settings. Assuming you are signed into https://id.atlassian.com/, you can create an API token here: https://id.atlassian.com/manage/api-tokens.
Alternatively, navigate to the API tokens page by starting at https://id.atlassian.com/ and selecting Security > Create and manage API tokens.
- Click on “Create API token”
- When prompted for a label, call it something memorable such as “Feature Upvote token”
- Click “Create”
The new token will be visible only once. Make sure to copy it to your computer’s clipboard and/or note it down so you can use this token in the next step.
Read Atlassian's help page on creating an API token.
Step 2
Once you’ve filled in all three fields, click Save changes. Assuming the details you provided were correct, you'll be taken to step 2.
