About Advanced Microsoft Teams Connector for Jira (DC/Server)

Advanced Microsoft Teams Connector for Jiraintegrates 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 users 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 Connector for Jira in two ways:

• 2-way integration provides data flow in both directions. Users can access and interact with Jira 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 can be found 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 by allowing only Move Work Forward systems to connect to your Jira.

• 1-way integration allows data to flow only one way from Jira to Microsoft Teams, without enabling interaction with Jira issues directly form Teams.. To use 1-way integration you must generate a Workflow webhook URL for a particular Microsoft Teams channel.
