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
- Create an automation;
- From the left menu, select the Jira connector;

- Use the 'Search for blocks' input to search for the 'List issues by project' block;

- Drag and drop the block into the automation and link it to the start block;

- On the right side of the screen, click on the 'Project' input field, click on the 'do lookup' option, then choose the project.

- From the left menu, search for the 'Output' block;

- Drag and drop the 'output' block into the automation and link it to the 'List issues by project' block;

- Run the automation. This will output a paginated list of issues available in the specified project.
2. To create a new issue:
- The first two steps are similar as before;
- Use the 'Search for blocks' input to search for the "Create issue' block;
- Drag and drop the block into the automation and link it to the start block;

- On the right side of the screen, use the input fields to fill in the issue information.

- Run the automation. This will create a new issue in your Jira account and output this information.
