Rapticore Integrates with the customer’s JIRA instance using an API Token.

📘

Rapticore only integrates with Jira on Atlassian’s Cloud.

For more information, refer to our Jira integration reference.

Setup

Setup involves:

1. Creating an API Token in Jira
2. Configuring Rapticore to integrate with Jira
3. Selecting Jira projects to use in Rapticore

Jira privileges

The user associated with the API Token should have access to Jira projects where the customer wants backlog items created.

📘

As a best practice, Rapticore recommends that the integration user is tied to a service user.
