1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To create Jira issues with new Notion database items, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by typing the URL Pabbly.com/connect into your browser. This will take you to the landing page of Pabbly Connect.

On the right side, you will see options to sign in or sign up for free. If you are a new user, click on the sign-up option, which takes less than two minutes. Existing users should simply sign in to access their dashboard.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once logged into Pabbly Connect, navigate to the applications page and click on the “Create Workflow” button. Name your workflow something descriptive, such as ‘Create Jira Issues With New Notion Database Items,’ and click on the create button.

In this step, you will set up triggers and actions. The trigger application will be Notion, and the action application will be Jira. This means that every time a new database item is created in Notion, a corresponding issue will be created in Jira.

3. Setting Up the Trigger for Notion

To configure the trigger, select Notion as your trigger application in Pabbly Connect. The trigger event should be set to ‘New Database Item.’ This trigger checks for new data every eight hours.

Click on the connect button and choose to add a new connection to Notion. You will need to allow Pabbly Connect access to your Notion workspace. Select the pages you want to connect and grant the necessary permissions. After successful authorization, select the database ID you want to work with.

• Type the URL Pabbly.com/connect in your browser.
• Sign in or sign up for Pabbly Connect.
• Create a new workflow and name it appropriately.

After selecting the database ID, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure that the connection is successful and you can retrieve the necessary data.

4. Configuring the Action for Jira

Next, it’s time to set up the action application, which is Jira. In Pabbly Connect, select Jira as the action application and choose the action event as ‘Create Issue.’ Click on connect, and again, you will need to add a new connection to Jira.

Once connected, you must map the fields from Notion to Jira. This includes selecting the project, issue type, summary, description, and other relevant fields. Mapping ensures that every new workflow pulls the latest data from Notion instead of using static entries.

• Select the project you are working on in Jira.
• Map the issue type, summary, and description from the Notion database.
• Assign the issue to the appropriate team member.

After filling in all the necessary information, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create the issue in Jira. You should see a confirmation that the issue has been successfully created.

5. Verifying the Integration Process

After completing the setup in Pabbly Connect, it’s essential to verify that the integration works correctly. Check your Jira account to see if the issues are being created as expected when new items are added to your Notion database.

Remember, the trigger in Pabbly Connect has a polling time of eight hours, meaning it will check for new items every eight hours. This ensures that your Jira issues are updated regularly based on your Notion entries.

If you have any questions or need further assistance, you can refer to the Pabbly Connect documentation or community forums for support.
