Our Jira v2 app allows you to create Jira issues from the helpdesk and link tickets with issues.

To install this app:

1) Go to Admin > Apps > Apps > Select 'Jira v2' > Click 'JIRA V2' > Install App.

2) In the next screen you will have to configure several options:

• Use your own keys or click 'Generate Keys' to have Deskpro generate a pair for you. They are generated when you load the interface.

• Fill the 'Jira instance url' field with the root url to your JIRA server for example: https://your-company.atlassian.net if you are using the cloud version.

• The JIRA Client ID will be a code used to identify Deskpro in your JIRA instance. You can define a custom and identifiable name.

• IMPORTANT - You cannot hit Update Settings. We will return to this screen later in the configuration.

3) Now in your Jira installation (either Cloud or on-premises), using the gear icon at the top right, select 'Products' from the dropdown, then in the far left-hand colummn select 'Application Links'. Enter your helpdesk URL and click 'Create new link'.

4) If you receive a warning the url being invalid although you enter it correctly, it's safe to click 'Continue' and ignore it.

5) Fill in the fields as shown in the image below and make sure you enable 'Create incoming link' then click 'Continue'.

• The 'Application Name' can be a name picked by you to identify the application
• Check the option 'Create incoming link' and click continue

6) In the new popup, enter the required details

• Paste the 'Jira client ID' as you defined in Deskpro configuration
• Type a 'Consumer Name', it's just an identifiable string
• Paste the 'Public Key' obtained in Deskpro configuration and click Continue.

7) Go back to Deskpro to the final configuration of JIRA

• Make sure the 'Consumer Key' that you added in Jira into the 'JIRA Consumer Key' matches the Jira client ID in Deskpro.
• Click 'Update Settings' and give your consent in the pop-up that appears to authorize the connection between the app and Jira.
• Note: You may need to enable/allow pop-ups if this does not appear.

Congratulations! You can now start linking existing Jira issues in tickets, or adding new Jira issues directly within Deskpro.
