Info

Sync is available only on Jira Service Management’s Premium and Enterprise plans.

Keep your issues and alerts always in sync

Sync is the most efficient bi-directional sync mechanism on Jira. It automates syncing updates between your issues (incidents, service requests, etc.) and your alerts, saving your team the redundant effort of keeping things updated. No more copy-pasting information or constant updates of fields. Instead, simply set up sync rules once and manage them whenever needed.

Just like in Integrations, you can configure syncs to:

  • Create and process alerts based on issue/request events

    For example: Create an alert when an incident of P3 priority is created in your service project.

  • Update issues based on alert events

    For example: Add a comment to the incident when the alert is acknowledged.

  • Create and update issues/requests when alerts are created by integrations or other syncs

    For example: Create an incident in your service project when an alert of P1 priority with ‘service failure’ in its message is created by another sync.

Set up sync rules

You can view and create sync rules at two different places in Jira Service Management - in your team and the Jira siteyou’re logged into. The difference is that you’ll be able to view syncs of all teams on your Jira site’s Sync page, while a team’s Sync page will show you only syncs of the team.

Before you can add a sync, make sure you’ve launched Operations for the teams you want to create a sync for. Learn how to launch Operations for your team
