How the Zendesk-Jira Sync Works

How the Zendesk-Jira Sync Works

Technical Simplicity Behind Powerful Business Integration

The Automated Workflow Process:

  1. Trigger: New ticket created in Zendesk activates the workflow via webhook
  2. Creation: Workflow automatically generates a corresponding Jira issue
  3. Linking: Jira issue key is stored in a custom Zendesk ticket field
  4. Synchronization: New comments on the Zendesk ticket are pushed to the Jira issue
  5. Continuity: The relationship persists throughout the ticket's lifecycle

Technical Requirements: Simple setup with webhook configuration in Zendesk, custom field creation, and connection to your Jira instance—no coding required.
