1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To create GitHub issues from Jira Software, we first need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the Pabbly website and selecting the option to sign in or sign up for free if you are a new user.

Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard where you can create workflows. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to begin setting up your integration. This is where the magic of Pabbly Connect happens, allowing you to connect Jira and GitHub seamlessly.

2. Setting Up the Jira Webhook

In this step, we will configure the Jira webhook to send data to Pabbly Connect. First, select Jira as your trigger application and choose ‘Configure Webhooks’ as the trigger event. A webhook URL will be generated for you to use.

• Copy the provided webhook URL from Pabbly Connect.
• Log in to your Jira account and navigate to Settings > System > Webhooks.
• Click on ‘Create a Webhook’ and paste the copied URL.

Make sure to enable the webhook and specify the conditions under which it should trigger, such as when a new issue is created in a specific project. This step is crucial for ensuring that Pabbly Connect receives the right data from Jira.

3. Testing the Webhook with Jira

After setting up the webhook, it’s time to test it. Create a new issue in Jira to trigger the webhook. This action will send a response back to Pabbly Connect with the issue details.

Once the issue is created, return to Pabbly Connect to check if the response has been received. The details of the new issue should appear in the workflow setup, confirming that the integration is working correctly.

4. Creating a GitHub Issue from Jira Data

With the webhook tested and working, we will now set up the action to create a GitHub issue. In Pabbly Connect, select GitHub as your action application and choose ‘Create Issue’ as the action event.

• Connect your GitHub account to Pabbly Connect by authorizing access.
• Map the fields from the Jira issue response to the GitHub issue fields, such as title and description.
• Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create the issue in GitHub.

Once you complete this step, check your GitHub repository to verify that the new issue has been created successfully, demonstrating the power of Pabbly Connect in automating workflows.

5. Summary of the Workflow Process

In summary, we have successfully integrated Jira and GitHub using Pabbly Connect. The process involved setting up a webhook in Jira to listen for new issues, which then triggered the creation of corresponding issues in GitHub.

This integration not only saves time but also ensures that all issues are tracked across both platforms. By leveraging Pabbly Connect, you can automate various tasks and improve your workflow efficiency.
