1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Jira and Google Hangouts

To begin sending notifications from Jira to Google Hangouts, the first step is to set up Pabbly Connect. Log into your Pabbly Connect account to access the dashboard. You can create a free account that offers 100 automation tasks each month, making it easy to get started.

Once logged in, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow something descriptive, such as ‘Send Jira Issues Notifications on Google Hangouts’. Click the ‘Create’ button to proceed, and you will see the interface where you can configure your trigger and action.

2. Configuring the Jira Trigger in Pabbly Connect

The next step is to set the trigger for your automation. In the Pabbly Connect dashboard, select the Jira application as your trigger. Choose the ‘Configure Webhooks’ option to generate a webhook URL. using Pabbly Connect

• Select ‘Jira Software’ from the application list.
• Copy the generated webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.
• Go to your Jira dashboard and navigate to the settings.

In Jira settings, click on ‘System’ and then scroll down to find the ‘Webhooks’ option under the Advanced section. Create a new webhook by pasting the copied URL and enable it for issue-related events. This setup allows Pabbly Connect to receive notifications when new issues are created in Jira.

3. Creating a Test Issue in Jira

After configuring the webhook, you need to create a test issue in Jira to ensure that Pabbly Connect captures the data correctly. Click on the ‘Create’ button in Jira and fill in the necessary details for the issue, such as the issue type and summary. using Pabbly Connect

Make sure to select the issue type as ‘Bug’ since that is what we configured in the JQL query for the webhook. Once the issue is created, Pabbly Connect will capture this information through the webhook, allowing you to proceed to the next step of integration.

4. Integrating Google Hangouts with Pabbly Connect

With the Jira trigger set up and a test issue created, the next step is to integrate Google Hangouts. In Pabbly Connect, search for Google Hangouts and select it as your action application. Choose the action event as ‘Create Message’. using Pabbly Connect

• Connect your Google Hangouts account by providing the necessary permissions.
• Get the chat webhook URL from your Google Hangouts space settings.
• Paste the webhook URL in the designated field in Pabbly Connect.

Next, compose the message that will be sent to your team. You can include dynamic fields from the Jira issue, such as the title and description, by mapping them from the data received in the previous steps. This ensures that every new issue created in Jira sends an automatic notification to your Google Hangouts team chat.

5. Testing the Automation

After setting up the message configuration, it’s time to test the automation. Click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button in Pabbly Connect. This will send a test message to your specified Google Hangouts space. using Pabbly Connect

Verify that the message appears in your Hangouts chat. The message should include the relevant details from the Jira issue, confirming that the integration is working correctly. Once verified, your automation is complete, and you can now enjoy seamless notifications from Jira to Google Hangouts without manual intervention.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can effectively use Pabbly Connect to automate the process of sending Jira issue notifications directly to Google Hangouts. This integration not only saves time but also enhances team collaboration. Set up your automation today and streamline your workflow!
