You need admin access to your Sleekplan workspace to connect an integration, and permission to install apps in your Jira site (a Jira administrator). This article covers Jira Cloud. Jira Data Center is a separate integration.
Connect Jira to your workspace
Connecting takes three parts: start from Sleekplan, install the app in the Atlassian Marketplace, then finish the connection from Jira’s app configuration screen.Open your integrations
Go to Settings → Integrations. Find Jira in the All integrations list and select Connect.
Install the app from the Atlassian Marketplace
Sleekplan opens the Sleekplan app listing on the Atlassian Marketplace in a new tab. Select Get it now, and sign in to Jira if prompted.
Complete the connection from Jira
After the app installs, open its configuration screen in Jira and select Complete Installation.
You can connect more than one Sleekplan workspace to the same Jira installation. Reopen the app’s configuration screen in Jira and select Connect another product to link an additional workspace.
Map Jira statuses to Sleekplan statuses
Status sync is driven by a mapping you control: each Jira status points to one Sleekplan status. When a linked issue or post changes status, the matching side is moved to the mapped status.Open the Jira settings
On Settings → Integrations, find Jira under Connected and select Manage.
Match each Jira status to a Sleekplan status
The dialog lists every status from your Jira site. For each one, choose the Sleekplan status you want to keep it in sync with. To leave a Jira status out of the sync, choose None.
Link a feedback post to a Jira issue
Once Jira is connected, a Jira panel appears on each feedback post in the admin. Use it to link the post to an existing issue or to create a new one. Open a post from the Feedback list to see the panel.Link an existing issue
In the Jira panel, type a search term into Search for an issue and submit. You can search by words in the issue summary, or paste a full issue key such asPROJECT-123. Pick the issue you want from the results to link it.
When you link an issue, Sleekplan adds a comment on the Jira issue with a link back to the Sleekplan post, so the connection is visible from both tools.
Create a new issue
If no issue exists yet, select Create new issue. Fill in a Title and Description, choose the Project the issue should live in, and pick its Issue type. Select Create. Sleekplan creates the issue in Jira, links it to the post, and adds a comment on the new issue pointing back to the post.Unlink an issue
To break the link, open the Jira panel on the post and select Unlink issue. The post and issue stop syncing, and Sleekplan leaves a comment on the Jira issue noting that it was unlinked.How the two-way sync works
After a post is linked and your status mapping is saved:- Sleekplan to Jira: when you change a linked post’s status, Sleekplan moves the Jira issue to the status you mapped it to (if a matching transition is available on that issue).
- Jira to Sleekplan: when the linked Jira issue changes status, Sleekplan updates the post to the mapped status.
Disconnect Jira
To stop syncing, go to Settings → Integrations, select Manage on the Jira row, then Disconnect. This removes the connection and stops all syncing for that workspace. Uninstalling the Sleekplan app from your Jira site disconnects every workspace linked to that installation.Related
