## Overview

Jira is the leading project management and issue tracking platform developed by Atlassian. It's widely used by software development teams, IT departments, and business teams to plan, track, and manage work through customizable workflows.

<Info>
  This page is for **Jira Cloud**, the version Atlassian hosts for you. If you run Jira on your own servers, use the [Jira Data Center connector](/connectors/jira/jira-data-center) instead.
</Info>

### Jira Data Structure

The connector understands Jira's hierarchical data model:

**Projects → Issues → Comments/Attachments**

| Entity             | Description                                                             |
| ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Projects**       | Top-level containers for organizing work (e.g., Engineering, Marketing) |
| **Issues**         | Work items including bugs, tasks, stories, epics, and custom types      |
| **Comments**       | Discussion threads attached to issues                                   |
| **Attachments**    | Files, images, and documents attached to issues                         |
| **Users & Groups** | Team members and their group memberships                                |
| **Project Roles**  | Role-based access control for project permissions                       |

### What Gets Synced

The connector indexes the following content for AI-powered search:

* **Issue Content**: Summary, description (with rich text/ADF support), status, priority, labels
* **Issue Metadata**: Reporter, assignee, created/updated dates, custom fields
* **Comments**: Full comment threads with author information
* **Attachments**: All file types attached to issues (PDFs, images, documents)
* **Permissions**: Project-level and issue-level access controls are preserved

***

## Configuration Guide

The Jira connector supports **two authentication methods**. Both sync the same data — pick whichever fits your rollout.

### Prerequisite: Email Visibility

<Warning>
  <div className="text-lg font-semibold">
    **Each user in your organization must set their email address to be visible** in order for PipesHub to correctly assign permissions and make records visible to them.
  </div>
</Warning>

This prerequisite applies to **both** authentication methods (OAuth and API Token).

**Why email visibility matters.** PipesHub uses email addresses to match Jira users with their permissions. If a user's email is hidden:

* PipesHub cannot identify the user when syncing permissions
* Records will appear invisible to that user even if they have proper access in Jira
* The user won't be able to see any content they should have access to

**How to configure email visibility.** Every user must complete these steps in their Atlassian account:

1. Click your **profile picture** in the top right → select **Account Settings**.

<div className="text-center">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/pipeshub/OV7q-p-MhGhaahZJ/images/connectors/jira/user_profile_settings.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=OV7q-p-MhGhaahZJ&q=85&s=684bcf18097e7960f538acd88f665f82" alt="Access User Profile Settings" className="block mx-auto w-11/12" width="462" height="756" data-path="images/connectors/jira/user_profile_settings.png" />
</div>

2. Select the **Profile and visibility** tab.
3. Scroll down to the **Contact** section.
4. In the **Who can see this?** dropdown for your email address, select either **Anyone** (recommended) or **Your organization**.

<div className="text-center">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/pipeshub/OV7q-p-MhGhaahZJ/images/connectors/jira/email_visibility_setting.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=OV7q-p-MhGhaahZJ&q=85&s=f9d8bdccccebf0c9d2f0213a8b9fa7e4" alt="Set Email Visibility to Organization" className="block mx-auto w-11/12" width="1891" height="986" data-path="images/connectors/jira/email_visibility_setting.png" />
</div>

<Warning>
  **Do not select "Only you and admins"** — this will prevent PipesHub from accessing your email address and matching you to permissions, making all records invisible to you.
</Warning>

📖 **Official documentation:** [Update your profile and visibility settings](https://support.atlassian.com/atlassian-account/docs/update-your-profile-and-visibility-settings/)

<Info>
  This is a **per-user setting** that must be configured by each individual user. Administrators cannot change this setting for other users. We recommend communicating this requirement to your team during the Jira connector rollout.
</Info>

### Choose an authentication method

| Method              | Best for                                                                                                                                          |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **OAuth 2.0 (3LO)** | Multi-user / org-wide rollouts, production — per-user refresh tokens, per-user consent, audit trail. Requires Atlassian Developer Console access. |
| **API Token**       | Single-account setups, quick POCs, or environments where you cannot register an OAuth app. Fastest path to sync.                                  |

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="OAuth 2.0">
    #### Step 1: Access the Atlassian Developer Console

    1. Go to [developer.atlassian.com/console/myapps/](https://developer.atlassian.com/console/myapps/) and sign in with your Atlassian account (must have admin access to your Jira workspace).
    2. You'll see the **My apps** page where you create and manage OAuth 2.0 integrations.

    <div className="text-center">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/pipeshub/OV7q-p-MhGhaahZJ/images/connectors/jira/create_new_app.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=OV7q-p-MhGhaahZJ&q=85&s=23a886c299ada61082de1fade33ac981" alt="Atlassian Developer Console - My Apps" className="block mx-auto w-11/12" width="1576" height="672" data-path="images/connectors/jira/create_new_app.png" />
    </div>

    #### Step 2: Create a new OAuth 2.0 integration

    1. Click **Create** in the top-right corner.
    2. Select **OAuth 2.0 integration** from the dropdown.
    3. Fill in the application details:
       * **Name:** Enter a meaningful name (e.g., `PipesHub Jira Connector`).
       * **Access type:** Select **Resource-level**.
       * Check the box to agree to Atlassian's developer terms.
    4. Click **Create**.

    <div className="text-center">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/pipeshub/Db8oJ9fycW3N0Ebj/images/connectors/jira/create_new_app_form.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=Db8oJ9fycW3N0Ebj&q=85&s=a32a520a8c17b26f57a3a8c81b4fa559" alt="Create OAuth 2.0 Integration Form" className="block mx-auto w-11/12" width="1867" height="937" data-path="images/connectors/jira/create_new_app_form.png" />
    </div>

    <Warning>
      **You must select "Resource-level" access type.** PipesHub does not ask for a site URL — the connector uses the exact site you authorize during the OAuth step. If you choose **Account-level**, authentication will not work.
    </Warning>

    <Info>
      OAuth 2.0 (3LO) integrations use rotating refresh tokens by default, which improves security by limiting token validity and enabling automatic detection of refresh-token reuse.
    </Info>

    #### Step 3: Review the application overview

    After creation, you'll land on the app overview page. It shows:

    * **App ID** — your application's unique identifier
    * **Distribution status** — whether the app is shared publicly
    * **Permissions** — API scopes configured for the app
    * **Authorization** — OAuth 2.0 (3LO) authorization settings

    Use the left sidebar to navigate between **Permissions**, **Authorization**, and **Settings**.

    <div className="text-center">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/pipeshub/28FaxV16yHh2aGik/images/connectors/jira/app_overview.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=28FaxV16yHh2aGik&q=85&s=ea02241170bf293b02ce049988ed595e" alt="Application Overview Page" className="block mx-auto w-11/12" width="1835" height="835" data-path="images/connectors/jira/app_overview.png" />
    </div>

    #### Step 4: Configure OAuth 2.0 authorization

    1. In the left sidebar, click **Authorization**.
    2. Find **OAuth 2.0 (3LO)** in the authorization types list.
    3. Click **Add** to enable OAuth 2.0 authorization for your app.

    <div className="text-center">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/pipeshub/28FaxV16yHh2aGik/images/connectors/jira/add_oauth.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=28FaxV16yHh2aGik&q=85&s=53f071a4652cdfe2957f707ac9c773c3" alt="Add OAuth 2.0 Authorization" className="block mx-auto w-11/12" width="1836" height="582" data-path="images/connectors/jira/add_oauth.png" />
    </div>

    4. **Get the Redirect URL from PipesHub:**
       * In PipesHub, go to **Workspace Settings** → **Connectors**, find **Jira**, and click **+ Setup** for a new instance.
       * The connector panel opens as a right-side drawer. On the **Authenticate Instance** tab, copy the **Redirect URL**.

    <div className="text-center">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/pipeshub/Eh3Iq7lh99sZRasD/images/connectors/jira/jira_config.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=Eh3Iq7lh99sZRasD&q=85&s=0d81c23494cea728685cee61ceac0dc5" alt="PipesHub Jira Authenticate Instance tab — copy the Redirect URL" className="block mx-auto w-11/12" width="1893" height="912" data-path="images/connectors/jira/jira_config.png" />
    </div>

    5. Paste the copied URL into the **Callback URL** field in Atlassian Developer Console.
    6. Click **Save changes**.

    <div className="text-center">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/pipeshub/28FaxV16yHh2aGik/images/connectors/jira/add_callback_url.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=28FaxV16yHh2aGik&q=85&s=f5d033b33e10449a2c32d45ffbf41fac" alt="Add Callback URL in Atlassian" className="block mx-auto w-11/12" width="1853" height="689" data-path="images/connectors/jira/add_callback_url.png" />
    </div>

    <Warning>
      The Callback URL must match exactly between Atlassian Developer Console and PipesHub. Any difference — trailing slash, protocol, casing — causes authentication to fail.
    </Warning>

    #### Step 5: Add API permissions

    1. In the left sidebar, click **Permissions**.
    2. You'll see a list of available Atlassian APIs.
    3. Add scopes for both **User identity API** and **Jira API**.

    <div className="text-center">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/pipeshub/28FaxV16yHh2aGik/images/connectors/jira/add_api_scopes.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=28FaxV16yHh2aGik&q=85&s=e56cc4276cc842541c26c725d5aae71e" alt="Add API Scopes" className="block mx-auto w-11/12" width="1825" height="896" data-path="images/connectors/jira/add_api_scopes.png" />
    </div>

    **User Identity API scopes**

    Click **Add** next to User identity API and select:

    | Scope          | Description                                           |
    | -------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
    | `read:account` | View user profiles (required for user identification) |

    <div className="text-center">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/pipeshub/OV7q-p-MhGhaahZJ/images/connectors/jira/user_identity_scopes.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=OV7q-p-MhGhaahZJ&q=85&s=b46b5ec0ff25d77bd2f7ccd17d0d35bf" alt="User Identity API Scopes" className="block mx-auto w-11/12" width="1818" height="767" data-path="images/connectors/jira/user_identity_scopes.png" />
    </div>

    <Info>
      The `offline_access` scope is automatically included when you configure OAuth 2.0 (3LO). It enables refresh tokens so scheduled synchronization continues when users are not actively logged in.
    </Info>

    **Jira API — Classic scopes**

    Click **Add** next to Jira API. You'll see two tabs: **Classic scopes** and **Granular scopes**. Configure scopes from both.

    First, the **Classic scopes** tab:

    | Scope            | Description                                                            |
    | ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
    | `read:jira-work` | Read Jira project and issue data, search issues, attachments, worklogs |
    | `read:jira-user` | Read Jira user information (usernames, emails, avatars)                |

    <div className="text-center">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/pipeshub/28FaxV16yHh2aGik/images/connectors/jira/classic_scopes.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=28FaxV16yHh2aGik&q=85&s=be63bc8351fd5215509d308487c8acbf" alt="Jira Classic Scopes" className="block mx-auto w-11/12" width="1839" height="896" data-path="images/connectors/jira/classic_scopes.png" />
    </div>

    <Info>
      The connector uses only **read-only** classic scopes. It does not require any write or manage permissions.
    </Info>

    **Jira API — Granular scopes**

    Next, the **Granular scopes** tab. Add these read permissions for fine-grained access:

    | Scope                        | Description                                    |
    | ---------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
    | `read:user:jira`             | View user details                              |
    | `read:group:jira`            | View groups and group members                  |
    | `read:avatar:jira`           | View user and project avatars                  |
    | `read:audit-log:jira`        | Read audit logs (for detecting deleted issues) |
    | `read:application-role:jira` | Read application roles                         |
    | `read:project-role:jira`     | Read project roles and role assignments        |

    <div className="text-center">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/pipeshub/OV7q-p-MhGhaahZJ/images/connectors/jira/granular_scopes.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=OV7q-p-MhGhaahZJ&q=85&s=33bbb4e35a1138bff5dd385d7df83f89" alt="Jira API Granular Scopes" className="block mx-auto w-11/12" width="1835" height="842" data-path="images/connectors/jira/granular_scopes.png" />
    </div>

    <Note>
      Classic scopes (`read:jira-work`, `read:jira-user`) provide the primary data access. Granular scopes enable specific features: user lookup, group resolution, audit-log-based deletion detection, and project role permissions.
    </Note>

    #### Step 6: Copy Client ID and Client Secret

    1. In the left sidebar, click **Settings**.
    2. Scroll to the **Authentication details** section.
    3. Copy:
       * **Client ID** — used as **Application (Client) ID** in PipesHub.
       * **Secret** — used as **Client Secret** in PipesHub. Copy it immediately.

    <div className="text-center">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/pipeshub/28FaxV16yHh2aGik/images/connectors/jira/auth_creds.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=28FaxV16yHh2aGik&q=85&s=463a4ea4d3751adbb62c904f6d50db07" alt="OAuth 2.0 Credentials" className="block mx-auto w-11/12" width="1594" height="862" data-path="images/connectors/jira/auth_creds.png" />
    </div>

    <Warning>
      Store the Client ID and Client Secret securely. The secret can be regenerated if needed, but you'll have to update your PipesHub configuration with the new value.
    </Warning>

    #### Step 7: Authenticate Instance tab — enter credentials

    The connector drawer in PipesHub has three tabs: **Authenticate Instance**, **Authorize**, and **Configure Records**. Start on the **Authenticate Instance** tab.

    1. Confirm the **Redirect URL** matches the Callback URL you saved in Atlassian in Step 4.
    2. If your admin has pre-registered an OAuth app, pick it from the **OAuth app** dropdown. Otherwise leave it blank and enter credentials manually.
    3. Enter:
       * **Application (Client) ID** — from Step 6
       * **Client Secret** — from Step 6
    4. Click **Next** to move to the **Authorize** tab.

    <div className="text-center">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/pipeshub/Db8oJ9fycW3N0Ebj/images/connectors/jira/connector_add_creds.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=Db8oJ9fycW3N0Ebj&q=85&s=2ca02acc20f80fbe8a910bc9f97004b9" alt="Authenticate Instance tab — enter Client ID and Client Secret" className="block mx-auto w-11/12" width="1897" height="916" data-path="images/connectors/jira/connector_add_creds.png" />
    </div>

    #### Step 8: Authorize tab — complete the OAuth flow

    On the **Authorize** tab, all the OAuth authorization work happens. The tab shows an **Authenticate** button to kick off the OAuth handshake.

    <div className="text-center">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/pipeshub/Eh3Iq7lh99sZRasD/images/connectors/jira/connector_authenticate_option.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=Eh3Iq7lh99sZRasD&q=85&s=302ca2d14d046a994902425c18a868b2" alt="PipesHub Authorize tab with the Authenticate button" className="block mx-auto w-11/12" width="1913" height="920" data-path="images/connectors/jira/connector_authenticate_option.png" />
    </div>

    1. Click **Authenticate** to start the OAuth flow. A popup opens to Atlassian's authorization page.
    2. Select your Jira site from the dropdown.

    <div className="text-center">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/pipeshub/OV7q-p-MhGhaahZJ/images/connectors/jira/oauth_page_choose_app.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=OV7q-p-MhGhaahZJ&q=85&s=60be662a2ec780458b8adff124c1f48d" alt="Choose Jira Site" className="block mx-auto w-11/12" width="1795" height="743" data-path="images/connectors/jira/oauth_page_choose_app.png" />
    </div>

    <Warning>
      **Authorize using the same email as your PipesHub account.** Using a different email causes permission issues on the PipesHub platform.
    </Warning>

    3. Review the permissions requested by the connector and click **Accept**.

    <div className="text-center">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/pipeshub/OV7q-p-MhGhaahZJ/images/connectors/jira/oauth_page_accept.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=OV7q-p-MhGhaahZJ&q=85&s=d7d5a48290c61eff5432904d3eea4ff7" alt="Accept OAuth Permissions" className="block mx-auto w-11/12" width="1901" height="904" data-path="images/connectors/jira/oauth_page_accept.png" />
    </div>

    4. The popup closes and returns you to PipesHub. The connector tile shows an **Authenticated** badge with a **Reauthenticate** option.

    5. Click **Next** to move to the **Configure Records** tab.

    #### Step 9: Configure Records tab — sync settings, filters, and indexing

    On the **Configure Records** tab, control how the connector syncs and what gets synced.

    **Sync settings** — configure your synchronization preferences first:

    1. **Sync Strategy** — `Scheduled` or `Manual`.
    2. **Sync Interval** — how often to sync (default: 60 minutes).

    <div className="text-center">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/pipeshub/Eh3Iq7lh99sZRasD/images/connectors/jira/connector_configure_sync_strategy.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=Eh3Iq7lh99sZRasD&q=85&s=dfe7a7659d573d6488ea2b1cf0b2d0e3" alt="Configure Sync Strategy" className="block mx-auto w-11/12" width="1893" height="906" data-path="images/connectors/jira/connector_configure_sync_strategy.png" />
    </div>

    <Note>
      **Scheduled sync** runs automatically at the specified intervals. **Manual sync** requires you to trigger synchronization on-demand.
    </Note>

    **Sync filters** — determine which content is downloaded from Jira. Data excluded by sync filters is never downloaded.

    <div className="text-center">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/pipeshub/Eh3Iq7lh99sZRasD/images/connectors/jira/jira-filters.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=Eh3Iq7lh99sZRasD&q=85&s=d0260e012ca1a07a9d35fd492556de02" alt="Jira Filters Configuration" className="block mx-auto w-11/12" width="1919" height="905" data-path="images/connectors/jira/jira-filters.png" />
    </div>

    Available sync filters:

    1. **Project Keys** — Filter by Jira projects.
       * Operator: `In` (include only) or `Not In` (exclude)
       * Selection: searchable dropdown of all your Jira projects (shows names + keys, e.g., "Engineering (ENG)")
    2. **Modified Date** — Filter by last modification date. Operators: `Is After`, `Is Before`, `Is Between`.
    3. **Created Date** — Filter by creation date. Same operators.

    <Info>
      The project list is dynamically fetched from your Jira workspace. Type to search and filter; select multiple projects as needed.
    </Info>

    **Indexing filters** — control what synced data gets processed for AI search. All data is synced, but only enabled content types are indexed.

    * **Index Issues** (default: enabled) — include issue content (description + comments) in search
    * **Index Issue and Comment Attachments** (default: enabled) — include attachments in search

    <Info>
      Comments are stored as part of the issue content (not as separate records). When **Index Issues** is enabled, both issue descriptions and comments are indexed together.
    </Info>

    **Example configurations:**

    * *Sync only Engineering project:* Project Keys → Operator `In` → select "Engineering"
    * *Exclude archived projects:* Project Keys → Operator `Not In` → select archived projects
    * *Recent issues only:* Modified Date → Operator `Is After` → Date `2024-06-01`
    * *Index issues but not attachments:* disable the **Index Issue and Comment Attachments** toggle

    Click **Save** to save your configuration. PipesHub confirms the instance is ready with a final dialog — **"Instance is configured and ready to sync"** — offering two choices: **I'll do it later** or **Start syncing now**.

    </div>

    Choose **Start syncing now** to kick off the initial sync immediately, or **I'll do it later** to enable the connector without an immediate sync. Monitor the **Indexing Progress** to track sync completion.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="API Token">
    Use this method when you want the fastest setup and only need a single user account to sync Jira data. No Atlassian Developer Console access required.

    #### Step 1: Generate an API token in Atlassian

    1. Sign in to [id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens](https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens).
    2. Click **Create API token**.
    3. Give it a meaningful label (e.g., `PipesHub Jira Connector`), set an expiry if you want, and click **Create**.

    <div className="text-center">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/pipeshub/Eh3Iq7lh99sZRasD/images/connectors/jira/api_token_create.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=Eh3Iq7lh99sZRasD&q=85&s=1f72a019051ade29c074eabd5badb9dc" alt="Atlassian Create API token dialog" className="block mx-auto w-11/12" width="1919" height="863" data-path="images/connectors/jira/api_token_create.png" />
    </div>

    4. Atlassian shows the token **once** — click **Copy** and store it securely.

    <div className="text-center">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/pipeshub/Eh3Iq7lh99sZRasD/images/connectors/jira/api_token_copy.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=Eh3Iq7lh99sZRasD&q=85&s=3d283643286c39990accf6578723570a" alt="Copy the API token — shown once" className="block mx-auto w-11/12" width="1917" height="869" data-path="images/connectors/jira/api_token_copy.png" />
    </div>

    <Warning>
      The API token is shown only once. If you close the dialog without copying it, you'll have to create a new token.
    </Warning>

    <Info>
      The token inherits the permissions of the account that created it. Use an account that can read the Jira projects you want to sync — ideally a dedicated integration user rather than a personal account.
    </Info>

    #### Step 2: Authenticate Instance tab — enter credentials

    1. In PipesHub, go to **Workspace Settings** → **Connectors**, find **Jira**, and click **+ Setup**.
    2. The connector panel opens as a right-side drawer with three tabs: **Authenticate Instance**, **Authorize**, and **Configure Records**.
    3. On the **Authenticate Instance** tab, pick **API Token** in the **Authentication method** dropdown.
    4. Enter:
       * **Base URL** — your Jira site URL (e.g., `https://your-domain.atlassian.net`; no trailing slash)
       * **Email** — your Atlassian account email (the account that created the API token)
       * **API Token** — the token you copied in Step 1
    5. Click **Next**. PipesHub validates the credentials and advances directly to the **Configure Records** tab (the **Authorize** tab is skipped for API Token because the token authenticates on its own).

    <div className="text-center">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/pipeshub/Eh3Iq7lh99sZRasD/images/connectors/jira/connector_api_token_form.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=Eh3Iq7lh99sZRasD&q=85&s=5dc97f2dd110d66dbcf4b5cfe3e094a6" alt="Authenticate Instance tab with API Token method — Base URL, Email, API Token fields" className="block mx-auto w-11/12" width="1896" height="891" data-path="images/connectors/jira/connector_api_token_form.png" />
    </div>

    <Warning>
      The **Email** must match the Atlassian account that owns the API token. Using a different email causes authentication to fail.
    </Warning>

    #### Step 3: Configure Records tab — sync settings, filters, and indexing

    On the **Configure Records** tab, control how the connector syncs and what gets synced.

    **Sync settings** — configure your synchronization preferences first:

    1. **Sync Strategy** — `Scheduled` or `Manual`.
    2. **Sync Interval** — how often to sync (default: 60 minutes).

    <div className="text-center">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/pipeshub/Eh3Iq7lh99sZRasD/images/connectors/jira/connector_configure_sync_strategy.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=Eh3Iq7lh99sZRasD&q=85&s=dfe7a7659d573d6488ea2b1cf0b2d0e3" alt="Configure Sync Strategy" className="block mx-auto w-11/12" width="1893" height="906" data-path="images/connectors/jira/connector_configure_sync_strategy.png" />
    </div>

    **Sync filters** — determine which content is downloaded from Jira. Data excluded by sync filters is never downloaded.

    <div className="text-center">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/pipeshub/Eh3Iq7lh99sZRasD/images/connectors/jira/jira-filters.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=Eh3Iq7lh99sZRasD&q=85&s=d0260e012ca1a07a9d35fd492556de02" alt="Jira Filters Configuration" className="block mx-auto w-11/12" width="1919" height="905" data-path="images/connectors/jira/jira-filters.png" />
    </div>

    Available sync filters:

    1. **Project Keys** — Filter by Jira projects.
       * Operator: `In` (include only) or `Not In` (exclude)
       * Selection: searchable dropdown of all your Jira projects
    2. **Modified Date** — Filter by last modification date. Operators: `Is After`, `Is Before`, `Is Between`.
    3. **Created Date** — Filter by creation date. Same operators.

    **Indexing filters** — control what synced data gets processed for AI search.

    * **Index Issues** (default: enabled) — include issue content (description + comments) in search
    * **Index Issue and Comment Attachments** (default: enabled) — include attachments in search

    Click **Save** to save your configuration. PipesHub confirms the instance is ready with a final dialog — **"Instance is configured and ready to sync"** — offering two choices: **I'll do it later** or **Start syncing now**.

    <div className="text-center">

    </div>

    Choose **Start syncing now** to kick off the initial sync immediately, or **I'll do it later** to enable the connector without an immediate sync.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Troubleshooting" icon="circle-exclamation">
    ### Common issues

    **Invalid client credentials error (OAuth):**

    * Verify Client ID and Client Secret are correct — no extra spaces
    * Check that the OAuth app is active in Atlassian Developer Console
    * Regenerate the secret if necessary and update PipesHub

    **Callback URL mismatch error (OAuth):**

    * Ensure the Redirect URL in PipesHub exactly matches the Callback URL in Atlassian
    * Check for trailing slashes, protocol differences (`http` vs `https`), or casing
    * Update both configurations to use the same URL

    **API token authentication fails:**

    * Confirm the token was copied correctly — no leading/trailing whitespace
    * The token may have been revoked or expired; create a new one at [id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens](https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens)
    * Verify the **Email** field matches the Atlassian account that created the token
    * Verify the **Base URL** matches your Jira site (must include `https://`, no trailing slash, match `*.atlassian.net`)

    **Base URL format issues (API Token):**

    * Must include the protocol: `https://`
    * Must **not** include a trailing slash — use `https://acme.atlassian.net`, not `https://acme.atlassian.net/`
    * Must match the actual Jira Cloud site (usually `*.atlassian.net`)
    * Do not include paths like `/jira` or `/browse/...`

    **Authorization failed (OAuth):**

    * Verify you're signing in with an account that has Jira access
    * Ensure your Jira site is selected during authorization
    * Check that all required API scopes are configured

    **No data syncing:**

    * Verify the connector status shows **Active**
    * Check that the authenticating user (OAuth) or token-owning user (API Token) has access to Jira projects
    * Ensure projects are not restricted or archived
    * Review sync logs for specific error messages

    **Token expired or sync stopped:**

    * OAuth tokens may expire per Atlassian's policies; disable and re-enable the connector to re-authenticate
    * API tokens can be revoked from the Atlassian account page; generate a new one and update the Authenticate Instance tab
    * Check if the OAuth app is still active in Developer Console

    **Permission denied for specific issues:**

    * Verify the authenticating user has read access to the issues
    * Check project permissions in Jira
    * Review issue security schemes that may limit access

    **Missing comments or attachments:**

    * Verify indexing filters are enabled for issues and attachments
    * Check that the user has permission to view comments/attachments
    * Ensure attachment size limits are not exceeded

    <Warning>
      If you modify OAuth application settings in Atlassian Developer Console (Client ID, Secret, Callback URL, or scopes), update the configuration in PipesHub and re-authorize. For API tokens, re-enter the token in the Authenticate Instance tab if you regenerate it.
    </Warning>

## Connector Workflow

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Synchronization Process" icon="sync">
    The Jira connector follows a structured synchronization process to ensure all data is accurately synced and permissions are properly maintained.

    ### Sync overview

    The `run_sync` method executes a complete synchronization cycle in a specific order:

    | Step | Function                     | Data Synced | Purpose                                 |
    | ---- | ---------------------------- | ----------- | --------------------------------------- |
    | 1    | `_fetch_users()`             | Users       | Sync all Jira users with their profiles |
    | 2    | `_sync_user_groups()`        | Groups      | Sync groups and user-group memberships  |
    | 3    | `_fetch_projects()`          | Projects    | Fetch projects (filtered if configured) |
    | 4    | `_sync_project_roles()`      | Roles       | Sync project role assignments           |
    | 5    | `_sync_project_lead_roles()` | Lead Roles  | Assign project lead permissions         |
    | 6    | `_sync_project_issues()`     | Issues      | Sync issues, comments, and attachments  |
    | 7    | `_handle_issue_deletions()`  | Deletions   | Detect and remove deleted issues        |

    ### Full sync vs incremental sync

    The connector automatically determines whether to perform a full or incremental sync:

    **Full sync** occurs when:

    * First-time synchronization (no sync checkpoint exists)
    * Sync filters have been modified since last sync
    * Manual full sync is triggered

    **Incremental sync** occurs when:

    * A valid sync checkpoint exists
    * Filters haven't changed
    * Uses JQL queries with `updated >= "last_sync_time"` to fetch only changes

    ### User & group synchronization

    1. **User fetch** — retrieves all users from Jira with their account IDs, emails, and display names
    2. **Group sync** — fetches all groups and their member lists
    3. **Membership mapping** — creates user-to-group relationships for permission resolution

    ### Project synchronization

    1. **Project fetch** — retrieves projects (filtered by project keys if configured)
    2. **Permission scheme** — extracts project permission schemes for access control
    3. **Role assignment** — syncs project-specific roles (Admin, Developer, Viewer, etc.)
    4. **Lead roles** — assigns project lead permissions to designated users

    ### Issue synchronization

    For each project, the connector:

    1. **Builds JQL query** — constructs query with date filters and project scope
    2. **Batched fetching** — retrieves issues in batches (default: 100 per request)
    3. **Content processing** — parses issue description (ADF format → Markdown with embedded images); extracts metadata (status, priority, labels, etc.)
    4. **BlockGroup structure** — creates hierarchical content structure:
       * **Description BlockGroup** (index=0): contains issue description with inline attachments
       * **Comment Thread BlockGroups**: each thread gets its own BlockGroup with `parent_index=0`
       * **Comment Blocks**: individual comments stored as Blocks within their thread BlockGroup
    5. **Attachment processing** — maps attachments to their correct location (description or specific comments)
    6. **Permission assignment** — applies project and issue-level permissions

    <Note>
      Comments are stored as **Blocks** within the issue's BlocksContainer (not as separate records). This enables efficient threaded comment organization and ensures comments are deleted automatically when the parent issue is removed.
    </Note>

    ### Deletion detection

    The connector uses Jira's **Audit Log API** to detect deleted issues:

    1. Queries audit log for `ISSUE_DELETE` events since last sync
    2. Identifies deleted issue keys from audit records
    3. Removes issue records from the index
    4. Comments are automatically deleted with the issue (stored as Blocks within the issue)

    ### Checkpoint management

    After each successful sync:

    * Stores the latest issue update timestamp as checkpoint
    * Records current filter configuration to detect changes
    * Per-project checkpoints enable resumable syncs on failures

## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Which authentication method should I choose?">
    |                       | OAuth 2.0                                  | API Token                              |
    | --------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------- |
    | **Best for**          | Multi-user / org-wide rollouts, production | Single-account setups, quick POCs      |
    | **Credentials model** | Per-user consent, rotating refresh tokens  | Single token, long-lived until revoked |
    | **Prerequisites**     | Atlassian Developer Console admin access   | Any Atlassian account                  |

    Choose **OAuth** for production and anything that needs per-user attribution. Choose **API Token** when you cannot register a developer-console app or just want to get syncing quickly. Both methods sync the same data.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What's the difference between Jira Connector and Jira Toolset?">
    | Aspect          | Jira Connector                          | Jira Toolset                                |
    | --------------- | --------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
    | **Purpose**     | Sync and index Jira data for search     | Enable agents to perform actions in Jira    |
    | **Data Flow**   | One-way (import data into PipesHub)     | Two-way (read and write via API)            |
    | **When to Use** | Query/search issues, projects, comments | Create issues, update tickets, add comments |

    **Example:** Use **Jira Connector** to search and retrieve existing ticket information. Use **Jira Toolset** to let agents create new issues or update ticket status.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Queries not returning results. What could be wrong?">
    Check these in order:

    1. **PipesHub email mismatch** — the email used to authenticate the Jira connector must match your PipesHub account email. For OAuth, this is the email you signed in with during consent; for API Token, it's the **Email** field on the Authenticate Instance tab.
       * **Fix:** reconfigure the connector and authenticate using the same email as your PipesHub account.

    2. **Email visibility not set** — if your Atlassian email visibility is set to *Only you and admins*, PipesHub can't match you to Jira permissions and no records will be visible.
       * **Fix:** set it to **Anyone** or **Your organization** (see the *Prerequisite: Email Visibility* section above).

    3. **Verify in All Records** — go to **All Records** in PipesHub and confirm the Jira issues you expect are actually present. If they're missing, the sync hasn't reached them yet — check sync status in **Settings → Connectors**.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is it possible to index only specific Jira projects?">
    Yes. On the **Configure Records** tab, use the **Project Keys** filter with the `In` operator and pick the projects you want to include. Or use `Not In` to exclude specific projects.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
