Jira Cloud
📋 Setting up automated task creation in Jira Cloud
Introduction
This one-time setup per workspace allows everyone in your Aikido organization to create issues directly in Jira Cloud.
Following use cases are supported :
Automated Ticket Creation: Automatically create and push tickets to specified Jira projects for seamless tracking of security issues.
Manual Ticket Addition: Manually add security issue tickets to Jira, ensuring targeted attention for critical vulnerabilities.
Note: If the authorisation is linked to a person, we recommend using service accounts.

Navigate to Integration Settings within the Aikido app.
In the 'Task Trackers' section, select 'Jira Issues'
A prompt will request authorization for Jira.
​Login into your Jira account

Once authorized, Aikido is successfully connected to Jira, enhancing your task management capabilities 🚀
