1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Jira and Stackby Integration

To begin automating the creation of Jira issues from Stackby, you need to access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows you to set up integrations effortlessly without any coding skills. Start by logging into your Pabbly Connect account. If you do not have an account yet, you can create one for free and enjoy 100 automation tasks every month.

Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard of Pabbly Connect. From here, you can initiate the automation process by creating a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and give it an appropriate name, such as ‘Create Issues in Jira from Stackby Automatically.’ This name will help you identify the workflow easily in the future.

2. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

The next step in your integration process involves setting up the trigger in Pabbly Connect. The trigger event will be the addition of a new row in Stackby, which indicates that a new issue has been created. Click on the trigger application field and search for ‘Stackby.’ Once selected, you will need to choose the trigger event, which is ‘New Row.’

• Select ‘Stackby’ as the trigger application.
• Choose ‘New Row’ as the trigger event.
• Connect your Stackby account by adding your API key.

To connect Stackby, you must retrieve your API key from your Stackby account settings. This key allows Pabbly Connect to access your Stackby data. After entering the API key, you can save the connection and continue to set up your workflow.

3. Capturing Data from Stackby into Pabbly Connect

After successfully connecting your Stackby account, the next step involves capturing the data from the newly created row. In this step, you will need to specify the workspace, stack name, and table name in Stackby. Choose the appropriate workspace and stack where your issues are being recorded.

Click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button to fetch the data from Stackby. You should see the data populated in the response section of Pabbly Connect. This data will include the issue summary, description, priority, and date, which you will later use to create the Jira issue.

4. Setting Up the Action to Create Jira Issues

Now that you have captured the necessary data from Stackby, it’s time to set up the action step in Pabbly Connect. Click on the action application field and search for ‘Jira Software.’ Select it and choose the action event as ‘Create Issue.’ This step will allow you to create a new issue in Jira based on the data received from Stackby.

Connect your Jira account by clicking on ‘Add New Connection.’ You will need to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Jira account. After successfully logging in and granting permission, you will return to the workflow setup. Here, you will need to provide the base URL for your Jira instance, which you can find in your Jira dashboard.

• Enter the base URL from your Jira dashboard.
• Select the project where the issue will be created.
• Map the issue details from Stackby to the corresponding fields in Jira.

After mapping the fields such as summary, description, priority, and assignee, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create the issue in Jira. If everything is set up correctly, you will see a confirmation of the new issue creation.

5. Finalizing the Integration and Testing

With the action step configured, your integration between Stackby and Jira via Pabbly Connect is almost complete. The last step is to test the entire workflow. After creating a new row in Stackby with the issue details, check Jira to ensure that the new issue appears accurately.

This automation will save you time and effort by eliminating the need for manual data entry. Once set up, Pabbly Connect will automatically create Jira issues whenever a new row is added in Stackby. You can continue to use this integration to enhance productivity and streamline your project management processes.

In summary, you have successfully set up an automated workflow using Pabbly Connect to create Jira issues from Stackby entries. You only need to enter issue details in Stackby, and the integration will handle the rest.
