Linking Jira Tickets

Connect your Jira instance to Unwrap's Linked Actions to seamlessly bridge customer feedback with development work.

Required Permissions

To connect Jira with Unwrap, the account used for authentication must have the "Administer Jira" global permission. This permission allows Unwrap to use Jira's features to keep tickets synced, ensuring a seamless experience across both platforms.

Setting Up Your Jira Connection

Step 1: Generate an API Token

  1. Go to https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens
  2. Click "Create API token"
  3. Give your token a descriptive name (e.g., "Unwrap Integration")
  4. Copy the generated token - you'll need this for authentication

Step 2: Connect in Unwrap

  1. Navigate to your Organizations page
  2. Find the Jira integration and click "Connect"
  3. Enter your Jira domain, email, and the API token from Step 1

Troubleshooting Authentication Issues

Re-authenticating Your Connection

If you need to update your Jira connection (for example, if the original account holder has left your company):

  1. Go to your Organizations page
  2. Click the "Connected" button next to your Jira integration
  3. Update your credentials with a new account that has the "Administer Jira" permission
  4. Use the "Validate" button to test the new connection

Common Issues

  • 403 Forbidden Error: This typically means the connected account doesn't have the "Administer Jira" permission
  • Authentication Failed: The account may no longer exist or the API token may have expired
