Connect Jira

When a support ticket points to a bug or feature request, Jira is where the work gets done. Connecting Jira lets you link tickets to issues, spin up new issues straight from a ticket, and keep everyone informed as engineering makes progress.

Connect your Jira instance

Setup uses Jira's secure sign-in, so you never share your password with TixTalk.

  • Go to Settings → Integrations and find the Jira integration.
  • Click Connect Jira and authorize access to your Jira site.
  • Once authorized, you're returned to settings showing you're connected, along with your Jira site address.
  • Use Test Connection at any time to confirm the integration is working. If it fails, choose Re-authorize to reconnect.
  • Link and create issues from a ticket

    You work with Jira right from the ticket detail page — no context switching required.

  • Open a ticket and search your Jira issues by keyword to find an existing one.
  • Link the matching issue to the ticket to connect the two.
  • To raise something new, create a Jira issue from the ticket: pick a project and issue type, then set the summary, description, priority, labels, and components as needed.
  • Need more than one? Create several issues from a single ticket in one batch.
  • To remove a connection, simply unlink the issue from the ticket.
  • Keep everything in sync

    Once linked, TixTalk and Jira stay aligned so nobody has to double-check both tools.

  • Status updates flow between Jira and TixTalk, so a linked ticket reflects where the engineering work stands.
  • Use Sync on a ticket to refresh its linked issues on demand.
  • View all issues linked to a ticket in one place to track related engineering work at a glance.
  • With progress visible on the ticket, agents can keep customers informed without chasing the engineering team.
  • Connecting Jira closes the loop between support and engineering, so customer-reported problems turn into tracked, resolvable work.
