1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Jira and Nifty Integration

To begin the integration process, access Pabbly Connect by visiting Pabbly.com/connect. Once on the dashboard, sign in or create a free account if you are a new user. Pabbly Connect allows you to automate tasks between different applications seamlessly.

After signing in, click on the blue button labeled ‘Create Workflow’. Name your workflow something descriptive, such as ‘Sync Jira Software and Nifty’. This name will help you identify the automation later. Next, you will see two boxes labeled Trigger and Action, which are essential for setting up your automation.

2. Triggering New Jira Issues in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will set up the trigger for new issues created in Jira. Select Jira as your trigger application in Pabbly Connect. The goal here is to capture details every time a new issue is created in Jira, which will then be sent to Nifty.

• Copy the Webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.
• Go to your Jira dashboard and click on the settings icon.
• Navigate to ‘System’ and find the ‘Webhooks’ option.
• Create a new webhook and paste the copied URL into the designated field.

Ensure the webhook is enabled and select the event type as ‘Issue Created’. This setup allows Pabbly Connect to receive data whenever a new issue is created in Jira. After saving, you will need to create a test issue in Jira to check if the integration is working correctly.

3. Creating a Task in Nifty from Jira Issues

Now that you have set up the trigger in Jira, it’s time to create a task in Nifty using the data captured by Pabbly Connect. For this, select Nifty as the action application. This process involves mapping the data from Jira to the required fields in Nifty.

To do this, you will need to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Nifty account. Once connected, you will be prompted to fill in the task details. Map the fields from the Jira issue to the corresponding fields in Nifty, such as task name, description, and project ID.

• Task Name: Map it to the issue title from Jira.
• Description: Use the issue description from Jira.
• Project ID: Select the appropriate project in Nifty.

Once all fields are mapped, save the configuration in Pabbly Connect. This ensures that every new issue created in Jira will automatically generate a corresponding task in Nifty.

4. Finalizing the Integration and Testing

With both Jira and Nifty configured in Pabbly Connect, it’s time to finalize the integration. Make sure all mappings are correct and that the connection is authorized. You can perform a test by creating a new issue in Jira and checking if the task appears in Nifty.

After creating a test issue, refresh your Nifty project to see if the task has been created. The task should reflect the details captured from the Jira issue, including the title, description, and due date. If everything works correctly, your automation is now live!

Remember, once this automation is set up, you won’t need to do anything manually. Pabbly Connect will handle the synchronization between Jira and Nifty automatically, saving you time and ensuring consistency.
