1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Jira and Monday.com Integration

To automate the creation of items in Monday.com from new Jira issues, you will first need to set up Pabbly Connect. Start by signing up for an account on the Pabbly Connect website, where you can access free automation tasks each month.

Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard and click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow something descriptive, such as ‘Jira Issues to Monday.com’, and click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed.

2. Selecting Trigger Application: Jira

In this step, you will configure the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Since the integration is initiated by new issues created in Jira, select Jira as your trigger application.

Next, choose the trigger event as ‘Configure Webhooks’. After selecting this option, Pabbly Connect will provide you with a webhook URL. This URL is crucial as it will enable the connection between Jira and Pabbly Connect.

• Select ‘Jira Software’ as the trigger application.
• Choose ‘Configure Webhooks’ as the trigger event.
• Copy the provided webhook URL for use in Jira.

Now, head over to your Jira dashboard to set up the webhook using the copied URL. This connection will allow Pabbly Connect to receive data whenever a new issue is created in Jira.

3. Creating a Webhook in Jira

To create a webhook in Jira, navigate to the settings icon in the top right corner of your Jira dashboard. From the settings menu, select ‘System’, then scroll down to find the ‘Webhooks’ option under the Advanced tab. Click on ‘Create a Webhook’. using Pabbly Connect

In the webhook configuration, provide a name for the webhook, such as ‘Jira to Monday.com’, and ensure that the status is set to enabled. Paste the previously copied webhook URL into the URL field. You can also specify a JQL query if you only want to trigger the webhook for specific issues.

• Enter a name for your webhook.
• Ensure the webhook status is enabled.
• Paste the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect.

After completing these fields, click on ‘Create’ to finalize the webhook setup. Your Jira is now connected to Pabbly Connect, ready to send data when a new issue is created.

4. Testing the Webhook Connection

With the webhook created, it’s time to test the connection. Go back to your Jira project and create a new issue. Fill in the required fields, such as project name, issue type, status, summary, and description, then click ‘Create’. using Pabbly Connect

Once the issue is created, return to Pabbly Connect to see if the data has been captured. You should see the details of the created issue displayed in Pabbly Connect, confirming that the webhook is functioning correctly.

Create a new issue in Jira with all necessary details. Check the Pabbly Connect dashboard for captured data. Ensure that all fields are correctly populated.

This successful test indicates that whenever a new issue is created in Jira, Pabbly Connect will receive the data, allowing you to proceed with the next steps of the integration.

5. Creating Items in Monday.com Using Pabbly Connect

Now that the Jira webhook is set up and tested, you will configure the action step in Pabbly Connect to create an item in Monday.com. Select Monday.com as your action application and choose ‘Create Item’ as the action event.

To connect Monday.com, you will need to provide your API key. Navigate to your Monday.com account, click on your profile icon, and select ‘Administration’. In the Administration settings, find the API section and copy the version 2 token.

Select ‘Monday.com’ as the action application. Choose ‘Create Item’ as the action event. Paste your API key from Monday.com.

After connecting, you will need to select the board and group where the item will be created. Map the fields from the Jira issue to the corresponding fields in Monday.com, such as the item name, due date, and any other relevant information. Finally, test the action to confirm that the item is created successfully in Monday.com.
