With the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on installed, you need to configure it to send data to Pabbly Connect. In the add-on, click on ‘Initial Setup’ and paste the webhook URL you copied earlier.

Now that Google Sheets is set up, the next step is to connect Jira with Pabbly Connect. In the action step, select Jira as the application and choose the action event ‘Create Issue’. This allows you to create a new issue in Jira based on the data received from Google Sheets.

Click on ‘Connect’ and then ‘Add New Connection’. You will be prompted to log in to your Jira account. Once logged in, authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Jira account. After successful authentication, you will see a list of projects available in your Jira account.

Select ‘Jira’ as the action application. Choose ‘Create Issue’ as the action event. Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Jira account.

After connecting, select the appropriate project where you want to create the issue. You can then map the fields from Google Sheets to the corresponding fields in Jira, such as issue summary, description, and priority.
