Jira

Automatically create Jira issues when incidents are opened, synchronize status transitions, and mirror timeline comments between Batida and Jira.

Setup

  1. Go to Settings > Integrations > Jira in the Batida dashboard.
  2. Enter your Jira site URL (e.g., https://your-team.atlassian.net).
  3. Generate an API token from Atlassian account settings.
  4. Enter the API token along with your Jira email address.
  5. Select the default project and issue type (Bug, Task, or Incident).
  6. Click Save & Verify.
Site URL:  https://your-team.atlassian.net
Email:     you@company.com
API Token: ATATT3xFfGF0...

API token vs password

Atlassian no longer accepts passwords for API authentication. You must use an API token generated from your Atlassian account.

Auto-create issues

When an incident is opened in Batida, a Jira issue is automatically created with the following mapping:

Batida fieldJira field
Incident titleIssue summary
DescriptionIssue description
SeverityPriority (critical = Highest, high = High, ...)
Assigned responderAssignee (matched by email)
TeamProject component or label

The Jira issue key (e.g., OPS-142) is stored on the incident record and displayed in the Batida UI.

Status synchronization

Status transitions are synced bidirectionally:

  • Batida to Jira: When an incident status changes in Batida (investigating, identified, monitoring, resolved), the Jira issue transitions through a configured workflow. Default mapping:

    Batida statusJira transition
    OpenedTo Do -> In Progress
    IdentifiedIn Progress -> In Review
    ResolvedIn Review -> Done
  • Jira to Batida: When a Jira issue is transitioned to Done, the linked incident in Batida is automatically marked as resolved.

Custom workflow mapping

You can customize the status mapping under Settings > Integrations > Jira > Workflow Mapping to match your Jira project's workflow states.

Timeline comments

Every comment added to the incident timeline in Batida is posted as a comment on the linked Jira issue. The comment includes the author's name, timestamp, and the comment body.

Troubleshooting

  • "Invalid authentication": Verify your API token and email. Regenerate the token if needed.
  • Issues not created: Check that the selected project key is valid and the issue type exists in that project.
  • Status sync not working: Confirm the workflow transition names match your Jira project configuration. Use the workflow mapping screen to adjust.
