Connect & Configure
Before you start building with Jira, you need to configure the integration.
Navigate to Workspace → Automations in your app.
Click Create to build a new automation.
You can also prompt EVE to build the automation for you.
Add a Jira trigger / action/step.
Click Connect in the sidebar on the right and authorize Taskade.
If you have multiple projects, select the project you want to connect.
Configure and enable the automation (or continue adding steps).
Your Jira data is now available to automations and agents.
Jira Triggers
Use Jira triggers to automate your app's development logic, respond to issue changes in real time, and create seamless project workflows.
Trigger | Description |
New Issue | Triggers when a new issue is created in your Jira project |
Issue Updated | Triggers when an issue is modified or its status changes |
Jira Actions
Build comprehensive project workflows with Jira actions. Create issues, update statuses, and search with JQL using automations or AI agents.
Action | Description |
Create Issue | Create a new issue in a specified project |
Update Issue | Modify an existing issue's fields, status, or assignee |
Search Issues (JQL) | Find issues using Jira Query Language |
Use Jira with AI Agents
Your AI agents can call Jira actions as tools during conversations, allowing them to look up issues, retrieve sprint data, and respond with live project information.
Configure Jira Tool
Connect Jira to your workspace (see above).
Open your agent → Tools tab.
Enable Automation Actions or add Jira as a custom tool.
The agent will call Jira actions automatically when relevant during chat.
Prompt Examples
Your AI agents can use Jira actions as tools during conversations:
User: "Show me all open bugs in the AUTH project."
Agent → jira.search("project = AUTH AND type = Bug AND status != Done") → 7 issues found
Agent: "There are 7 open bugs in AUTH. The highest priority is AUTH-234: Login timeout on mobile."

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I connect multiple Jira projects?
Yes. Connect each project separately in your workspace automations.
What authentication method does Jira use?
Taskade connects to Jira via OAuth 2.0 (Atlassian Cloud) or API token (Jira Server/Data Center).
Is there a rate limit?
Taskade respects Jira's API rate limits. High-volume projects may want to use scheduled triggers instead of real-time triggers to stay within limits.
