The integration with Jira allows ITFin to import project tasks and employee time-tracking data. If needed, multiple Jira accounts can be connected (e.g., if a client provides access to their Jira account for developer tracking while internal operational tasks are reported and monitored through your own Jira account).

Before enabling the integration, creating the necessary projects and assigning agreements to employees is essential. Otherwise, tracked hours will be imported without being associated with a specific user in ITFin. Synchronization occurs daily for the past two weeks. If the association is added after the integration is connected, some tracking data may not be imported into the system unless synchronization is triggered manually.

Step-by-Step Setup

Step 1. Create a Jira user with the necessary permissions to access projects (browse projects), the user list (browse users), and data. Alternatively, select an existing user with the required access.

Step 2. In ITFin, navigate to Projects > Integrations and add a new Source (Jira Software).

When clicking + Add Integration, the system will open a panel where you can either select an existing Source to create an integration within it or create a new Source using a new API key. This allows you to connect either a different tracking system or the same one.

For self-hosted Jira, you need to enter a login (email) and password.

For Jira Cloud, you need to provide a login (email) and an API key.

If you are using Tempo, enable the corresponding option and add the API key generated in Tempo.

Step 3. Configure project integration within the added Source.

You need to specify the following fields:

Field 
Description
External Project*
Select a project from the connected source
Start Date*
The date from which data will begin to be imported into ITFin
End Date
The end date of the integration (after this date, work logs and tasks will no longer be imported)
Project*
Select the corresponding project in ITFin

How to generate an API key in Jira?

An admin role is not required to generate an API key in Jira; you only need access to projects, tasks, and relevant data.

Step 1: Go to your profile settings in Jira.
