Atlassian

Connecting Hawkeye to your Atlassian 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 Atlassian with Hawkeye, you will need a JiAtlassianra API Token and your Atlassian Instance URL.
