About Advanced Microsoft Teams Jira Connector (DC/Server)

Advanced Microsoft Teams Jira Connectorintegrates Jira with Microsoft Teams. This integration was designed to enhance collaboration and productivity by providing seamless communication and information sharing between Jira and Microsoft Teams.

The connector enables to:

• track and manage Jira issues from Microsoft Teams;

• receive real-time notifications about Jira issues updates;

• set up alerts and scheduled reports about issues in status, not transitioned issues, project reports and many more;

• provide feedback and ask questions without leaving Teams;

• search Jira issues and embed cards into Microsoft Teams chats.

You can use Advanced Microsoft Teams Jira Connector in two ways:

• 2-way integration provides data flow in both directions. Users can access and interact with Jita issues directly from within the Microsoft Teams platform, and vice versa. Getting benefits from 2-way integration requires simple installation of our companion app Move Work Forward with Jira administrator. More details here.

Please note, using 2-way integration increases security surface of attack, because you need to open up your Jira of external communication. You can reduce the area of attack but allowing only Move Work Forward systems to connect to your Jira.

• 1-way integration provides data flows only one way from Jira to Microsoft Teams and you cannot interact with Jita issues in Microsoft Teams. To use 1-way integration you have to generate an Webhook URL for a particular Microsoft Teams channel.
