1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Integration

To create issues in Jira from Teamwork tasks, the first step involves setting up Pabbly Connect. Begin by logging into your Pabbly Connect account and navigating to the dashboard. If you don’t have an account yet, you can create one in just a few minutes and receive 100 free automation tasks every month.

Once logged in, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You will then be prompted to name your workflow. For this integration, you might name it ‘Teamwork to Jira Automation’. Click on create to proceed, and you’ll see options for setting up the trigger and action for your automation.

2. Trigger Setup in Pabbly Connect

In this section, we will set up the trigger for our integration using Pabbly Connect. Select the trigger application as Teamwork and the event as ‘New Task’. This event will initiate the workflow whenever a new task is created in Teamwork.

• Select ‘Teamwork’ as the trigger application.
• Choose ‘New Task’ as the trigger event.
• Copy the provided webhook URL for further configuration.

Next, navigate to your Teamwork application. In the top right corner, access the settings and find the ‘Webhooks’ option. Toggle the webhook enabled button to ‘on’ and add a new webhook. Paste the copied URL into the endpoint URL field, select ‘task.created’ for the event, and set the content type to JSON. Finally, click on ‘Add Webhook’ to save your settings.

3. Testing the Connection in Pabbly Connect

After setting up the webhook in Teamwork, it’s time to test the connection using Pabbly Connect. Create a test task in Teamwork to ensure that the data is captured correctly in Pabbly Connect. When you create this task, it will trigger the webhook and send the data back to your Pabbly workflow.

Once the task is created, return to Pabbly Connect and check the response section. You should see the task details such as project ID, task name, and priority. This confirms that the connection is working properly.

4. Setting Up the Action to Create Issues in Jira

Now that we have the trigger set up, we need to configure the action in Pabbly Connect to create an issue in Jira. Click on the action step and select Jira as the application. Choose the ‘Create Issue’ action event.

• Connect your Jira account by authorizing Pabbly Connect.
• Select the appropriate project in Jira where the issue should be created.
• Map the task details from Teamwork to the corresponding fields in Jira (e.g., summary, description, priority).

After mapping the fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create the issue in Jira. You should see the new issue appear in your Jira project, confirming that the integration is successful.

5. Finalizing Your Automation in Pabbly Connect

With both the trigger and action set up, your automation is nearly complete. You can create multiple routes in Pabbly Connect if you have more projects in Teamwork and Jira. For example, clone the previous route and adjust the project IDs and names accordingly.

Once you finalize all routes, click on ‘Done’ to save your workflow. From now on, every time a new task is created in Teamwork, an issue will be automatically generated in Jira, streamlining your project management process.
