Our integration with the project tracking tool, Jira, enables feedback items to be automatically or manually pushed to a specific project. This means you can easily push bugs or feature requests identified by your users to the teams responsible for solving them.
Pushing feedback to your Jira project can also be very helpful for filling your Kanban board and prioritizing stories.
Note: At the moment, this integration can only be set up for GetFeedback Digital for Websites and for the Feedback retrieved by your Feedback buttons.
This guide consists of:
- Requesting an Atlassian API token

How to manually push Feedback from GetFeedback Digital to Jira
When you have selected manual push, you can find the Jira integration on every feedback details page (that belongs to the button you have activated the integration for). Click the "Jira" link like displayed in the image below and a bug will be issued in Jira for this feedback item. All necessary data will be included in the ticket. 
Note: Each Feedback item can be pushed to Jira once. Feedback items that were pushed to Jira can be recognized by a green checkmark.
You can always edit your integration later to change the configuration or to disable/enable the integration. Don't hesitate to reach out to our support team if you run into any questions or issues.
Integration with Jira on-premise/self-hosted instances
If you are using Jira on-premise you will need to provide access to the GetFeedback Digital servers in order to make the integration work. In many cases, your JIRA on-premise instance will be cut-off from the internet and will only be available when you are connected to the company network e.g. you can only access it when connected with the company VPN or when you are at the office.
To allow the GetFeedback Digital servers to connect to your Jira instance you will need to allowlist the IP addresses of the GetFeedback Digital Server. The GetFeedback Digital Server uses 3 IP addresses. You'll likely need to contact your network administrator to have these IP addresses allowlisted. Please contact your GetFeedback Digital contact person for the exact IP addresses and Ports that need to be allowlisted.
Troubleshooting
When setting up the integration you'll need to watch out for a couple of things. First, you'll need to make sure that you fill out all the fields correctly. In the screenshot below we highlight how each of the fields needs to be filled out. It's important that all the fields are filled out correctly since having the incorrect values can result in either the authentication for the integration being rejected or the push of the feedback being rejected.
Example
Awesome, if all went well you've just set up an integration between your Jira instance and you GetFeedback Digital feedback button. To give you a basic idea of how the integration will look like we've added two screenshots below. One show you how the manually pushing of feedback within GetFeedback Digital will look like and one screenshot show you how feedback will look in your Jira environment that has been pushed to a Jira business project. The pushing of feedback works for both business- as well as software projects.
Tip: When setting up the integration you have several options for pushing feedback. In order to achieve the right amount of granularity in the pushed feedback, make sure you select a method for pushing feedback to Jira that fits the needs of your organization.
