To automate tasks in Jira using Simply, you will start by selecting Jira as your trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Choose the trigger event that corresponds to your needs, such as ‘New Issue Created’. This will allow Pabbly Connect to listen for new issues in Jira.

Once the trigger is set, you will need to configure a webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect into your Jira settings. This URL will send data back to Pabbly Connect whenever a new issue is created. Follow these steps:

• Go to your Jira project settings and find the Webhooks section.
• Create a new webhook and paste the URL from Pabbly Connect.
• Set the trigger events that will activate this webhook, such as issue creation.

After completing these steps, test the integration by creating a new issue in Jira to ensure that data is sent to Pabbly Connect successfully.

For Slack, select the action event ‘Send Channel Message’ and specify the channel where you want notifications to be sent. For Discord, you can similarly set up a notification message to be sent to a specific channel. Ensure that you have the necessary permissions and tokens to connect these applications.

Configure the message format to include relevant issue details. Test the notifications by creating a new issue in Jira.
