Connect Google Calendar and Jira Software Server to unlock the power of automation

To begin integrating Google Calendar with Jira Software Server, you need to set up an automation tool or use APIs that allow for communication between the two platforms. If you're using our services, you'd start by setting up triggers in Google Calendar that can initiate actions such as creating or updating issues in your Jira projects.

You can set up triggers in Google Calendar based on events such as the creation, modification, or deletion of calendar events. These triggers can then be linked to actions in Jira, like opening a new task or updating an existing project's status.

Yes, you can create automations where changes in Jira, like transitions of issues from one status to another, trigger updates on corresponding events in your Google Calendar. This ensures your calendar reflects the latest project timelines and deadlines.

For integration, you'll need sufficient permissions on both platforms. On Google Calendar, you may need access to create and modify events. In Jira Software Server, you'd require permission to access projects and make issue-related changes.

First, verify that the API keys and authentication credentials used for the integration are correct. Also check network connectivity and ensure that any firewall settings are not blocking the communication between these services. Refer to our troubleshooting guide for specific error codes and solutions.

Certain limitations exist like synchronization delay which is typically a few minutes depending on server load. Additionally, not all data types from Google Calendar may seamlessly map into fields available within Jira issues.

If a calendar event linked to a Jira task is deleted, you can configure whether this action should delete the related task in Jira as well or simply remove links while keeping both elements independent post-deletion.
