Outbound Syncs

You can sync outbound to the following objects:

Issues

You can use the Create or Upsert sync strategies to create and/or edit Jira issues.

When linking to other objects like Assignee, Project, Reporter, Issue Type etc, the Jira API uses various combinations of id, name, key to reference these. The Omnata field mapper will name the target fields accordingly. For example, mapping to "Assignee Account ID" from a column containing an account id will link the appropriate assignee. Similarly, mapping to "Issue Type Name" from a column containing the name of a valid issue type, will link to that issue type.

Service Desk Organizations

Service Desk Organizations in Jira, are uniquely identified by name. This means that any existing Organizations will be matched, avoiding duplicates or errors.

Any Organization Detail field can be mapped to as well, these will be applied whenever the values change.
