Get Started

Advanced Microsoft Teams Connector for Jira helps your team stay connected, informed, and productive by bringing Jira into Microsoft Teams. Whether you're a Jira admin, a project owner, or an individual contributor, this guide will help you make the most of the integration.

What You Can Do

With this connector, you can:

• Track and manage Jira work items without leaving Microsoft Teams.

• Get real-time updates in Teams channels or 1-on-1 chats.

• Take action on work items directly from notification cards (comment, assign, change status).

• Search for Jira work items and share them as rich cards.

• Create new Teams channels from Jira work items (2-way only).

1-Way vs 2-Way Integration

• 2-Way Integration enables full interactivity between Jira and Microsoft Teams. You can receive notifications and take immediate action (like commenting, logging work, or changing work item status) from within Teams. It also includes features like personal notifications, search, and the Jira tab for viewing and editing work items.

Requires the Move Work Forward with Jira app installed in Microsoft Teams.

• 1-Way Integration allows Jira to send updates to Microsoft Teams channels via webhooks. It's a simpler setup, but you won’t be able to interact with Jira work items from Teams or receive personal notifications.
