Configuration Guide
The Jira toolset supports two authentication methods. In both, an admin first configures the shared instance under Workspace Settings → Actions, then each user connects their personal account under Your actions.- OAuth 2.0
- API Token
Step 1: Access the Atlassian Developer Console
- Go to developer.atlassian.com/console/myapps/ and sign in with your Atlassian account (must have admin access to your Jira workspace).

Step 2: Create an OAuth 2.0 integration
- Click Create in the top-right corner.
- Select OAuth 2.0 integration.
- Enter a name (e.g.,
PipesHub Jira Toolset) and accept the developer terms. - Click Create.

Step 3: Get the Redirect URI from PipesHub
Before configuring the Callback URL in Atlassian, copy the Redirect URI from PipesHub.- In PipesHub, go to Workspace Settings → Actions.
- Find Jira in the list and click + Setup for a new instance.
- Copy the Redirect URI shown in the dialog.

Step 4: Configure the Callback URL in Atlassian
- In Atlassian Developer Console, click Authorization in the left sidebar.
- Click Add under OAuth 2.0 (3LO).
- Paste the Redirect URI from PipesHub into the Callback URL field.
- Click Save changes.

Step 5: Add required scopes
- In the left sidebar, click Permissions.
- Add scopes for both User identity API and Jira API.



Step 6: Copy Client ID and Client Secret
- In the left sidebar, click Settings.
- Under Authentication details, copy:
- Client ID — used as Client ID in PipesHub.
- Secret — used as Client Secret in PipesHub.

Step 7: Admin — configure the toolset in Actions
- In PipesHub, return to Workspace Settings → Actions, find Jira, and reopen the setup dialog.
- Confirm the Redirect URI matches the Callback URL you saved in Atlassian in Step 4.
- Enter:
- Instance Name (e.g.,
Jira Production) - Client ID — from Step 6
- Client Secret — from Step 6
- Atlassian Site URL — your Jira site URL (e.g.,
https://your-domain.atlassian.net; no trailing slash)
- Instance Name (e.g.,
- Click Create.

Atlassian Site URL is an org-level field — it points to the specific Jira Cloud site this toolset instance will act on. Client ID and Client Secret are the org’s OAuth app credentials. Per-user tokens are issued by Atlassian when each user authenticates in the next step.
Step 8: Authenticate the toolset
Authentication uses the same OAuth flow in either location:- Admins can authenticate the shared instance directly under Workspace Settings → Actions.
- Users can authenticate their own personal instance under Your actions (in the Personal section of the sidebar).
- On the Jira tile (in Actions or Your actions), click Authenticate with OAuth.
- A popup opens to Atlassian’s authorization page — select your Jira site from the dropdown.

- Review the permissions and click Accept.

- The popup closes and the Jira tile shows Authenticated status.
Step 9: Add Jira to an agent
- Go to the Home page.
- Next to Agents, click + to create a new agent.
- Give the agent a name, drag the Jira toolset onto the canvas, connect it to the Agent Core node with your model and chat input/output, then create the agent.

FAQ
Which authentication method should I choose?
Which authentication method should I choose?
Choose OAuth for the simplest per-user experience. Choose API Token when you cannot register an Atlassian OAuth app or when each user wants to manage their own token (for example, to set tighter scopes or expiry).
What's the difference between Jira Connector and Jira Toolset?
What's the difference between Jira Connector and Jira Toolset?
Example: Use Jira Connector to search and retrieve existing ticket information. Use Jira Toolset to let agents create new issues or update ticket status.
When searching issues, always include a time range (e.g., “from the last 30 days” or “updated this week”) to get accurate results.
Usage Tips
How do I create an issue?Simply ask your agent to “create a Jira ticket” and provide the project key, title, and issue type (Task, Bug, or Story). You can also specify assignee, priority, and labels. How do I search for issues?
Ask to “find Jira issues” with specific criteria. The agent will use JQL syntax automatically. For example: “show me all in-progress issues in project PA from the last week” How do I assign issues?
You can assign by name (e.g., “assign to John Smith”) or by email. The agent will look up the correct account ID automatically. How do I update issue status?
Ask to “move issue PA-123 to In Progress” or “mark PA-456 as Done”. Common statuses include “To Do”, “In Progress”, and “Done”.
