To automate the process of adding items in VivifyScrum when a new issue is created in Jira, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Go to the Pabbly website and log in or sign up for a free account to get started.

Once logged in, navigate to the top right corner and click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You will be prompted to name your workflow, for example, ‘Jira to VivifyScrum’. This is the starting point for your automation process.

2. Setting Up the Jira Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will set up a trigger in Pabbly Connect to capture new issues created in Jira. Select ‘Jira Service Management’ as your trigger application and choose the event ‘New Issue Created’.

• Select ‘New Issue Created’ from the list of trigger events.
• Copy the generated webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.
• Follow the instructions to set up this webhook in your Jira account.

After you have copied the webhook URL, log into your Jira Service Management account, navigate to ‘Project Settings’, and select ‘Automation’. From there, create a rule that triggers when a new issue is created.

3. Configuring Automation in Jira

To complete the integration, you need to configure the automation rule in Jira. In the automation settings, select ‘Create Rule’ and then choose ‘Issue Created’ from the list of triggers.

Next, add an action to send a web request. Paste the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect in the designated field. Ensure that you select the format as ‘Issue Data Jira’ for the web request body.

4. Setting Up the Action in VivifyScrum

Now that your Jira trigger is set up, it’s time to configure the action in Pabbly Connect to create an item in VivifyScrum. Select ‘VivifyScrum’ as your action application and choose ‘Create Item’ as the action event.

To connect to VivifyScrum, you will need your API key. Log into your VivifyScrum account, navigate to the ‘Integrations’ tab, and copy your API key. Paste this key back into Pabbly Connect to establish the connection.

• Map necessary fields such as Board Code, Name, and Description from the Jira issue.
• Select the priority and type for the item being created.

After mapping the required fields, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure the integration works as expected.

5. Testing the Integration Setup

After configuring both Jira and VivifyScrum in Pabbly Connect, it’s crucial to test the integration. Create a dummy issue in Jira to see if it triggers the automation.

Once you create an issue, return to Pabbly Connect to check if the webhook captured the response correctly. You should see the details of the newly created issue reflected in Pabbly.

If the test is successful, navigate to your VivifyScrum account to verify that the new item has been created with the correct information. This confirms that your integration between Jira and VivifyScrum using Pabbly Connect is working effectively.

Conclusion

Integrating Jira with VivifyScrum using Pabbly Connect allows for seamless automation of task management. By following the steps outlined, you can ensure that new issues in Jira are automatically reflected as items in VivifyScrum, enhancing your team’s workflow and productivity.
