Jira

Connecting Hawkeye to your Jira account lets you track issues and project activities in real time.

With this integration, you can view data like issue statuses, project progress, and sprint metrics on the Hawkeye dashboard.

To connect Jira with Hawkeye, you will need a Jira API Token and your Jira Instance URL.

Step 1: Setup Jira Integration

To retrieve the required credentials, follow these steps to set up a Jira API Token:

  1. Navigate to Atlassian API token page: Log into your Atlassian account and go to the API tokens page. This is where you can generate and manage API tokens.
