To begin integrating Jira issues as tasks in Teamwork Projects, first access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows seamless automation between applications without any coding skills required.

Start by visiting the Pabbly website and navigate to the products section. Click on Pabbly Connect and sign up for a free account. After signing in, you will be directed to the dashboard where you can create your workflows.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once logged into Pabbly Connect, you will need to create a new workflow. Click on the plus sign to initiate the workflow creation process. Name your workflow something like ‘Jira to Teamwork Integration’ to keep it organized.

• Click on ‘Create Workflow’.
• Select Jira as the trigger application.
• Choose the trigger event to be ‘New Issue’.

After naming your workflow, you will see a trigger window. Here, select Jira Software as the application and configure the trigger event. This setup will ensure that every new issue created in Jira will automatically trigger the creation of a task in Teamwork Projects.

3. Setting Up the Webhook in Jira

To connect Jira with Pabbly Connect, you need to set up a webhook. Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect and navigate to your Jira account settings.

In Jira, go to the ‘System’ settings, then find the ‘Webhooks’ section. Here, create a new webhook by clicking the plus sign. Enter a name for it, such as ‘Teamwork Integration’, and paste the copied webhook URL. Make sure to enable the webhook and specify it to trigger when a new issue is created.

4. Mapping Data from Jira to Teamwork

Once the webhook is set up, return to Pabbly Connect to capture the webhook response. Create a test issue in Jira to trigger the webhook and watch as the data is captured in Pabbly Connect.

Next, set up the action step in Pabbly Connect by selecting Teamwork as the application and choosing ‘Create Task’ as the action event. Map the fields from the captured Jira issue to the corresponding fields in Teamwork. For example, map the issue title to the task title and the issue description to the task description.

• Select the project in Teamwork where the task should be created.
• Choose the task list for the new task.
• Assign the task to a team member.

After mapping the required fields, save the configuration and send a test request to verify that the task is created successfully in Teamwork Projects.

5. Testing the Integration

With everything set up, it’s time to test the integration between Jira and Teamwork Projects using Pabbly Connect. Create another issue in your Jira project to see if a new task is automatically created in Teamwork.

Refresh your Teamwork account to check for the new task. You should see the task with the title and description pulled directly from the Jira issue you created. This confirms that the integration is working correctly and that tasks are being created automatically based on Jira issues.

By utilizing Pabbly Connect, you’ve successfully automated the process of transferring tasks from Jira to Teamwork Projects, enhancing your team’s productivity and workflow management.
