This article gives an overview of the available blocks in the Jira connector in Qlik Application Automation. It will also go over some basic examples of retrieving issues by a specified project and creating an issue within a Jira account.
This connector supports CRUD operations(read, create, update, delete) for the following modules in Jira:
There are also a few generic blocks that could help to cover the other modules :
- Raw API List Request
- Raw API Get Request
- Raw API Create Request
- Raw API Update Request
- Raw API Delete Request
Authentication for this connector is based on the oAuth2 Protocol.
Let's now go over a few basic examples of how to use the Jira connector:
1. How to list issues from a specific project from a Jira account
