What is required to integrate Jira Software Cloud with Request Tracker (RT)?
To integrate Jira Software Cloud with Request Tracker, you'll need active accounts on both platforms. Connect these accounts through our integration interface, where you can set specific triggers and actions that map fields and events between Jira and RT.
How can I automatically create a ticket in RT when an issue is created in Jira?

What types of triggers are supported when integrating Jira with RT?
We support various triggers from Jira such as issue creation, status update, comment added, or priority change. These triggers can initiate actions like creating or updating tickets in Request Tracker.
How do I keep my team informed of changes happening between these two platforms?
Ensure that both systems are synchronized by setting up alerts that send notifications to your team whenever certain triggers occur. This could be achieved through automated emails or instant messaging alerts.
What should I do if the integration fails to sync data between the two platforms?
First, check that all account integrations are properly authenticated. Review the configuration of your triggers and actions to ensure they match your workflow requirements. If issues persist, contact our support team for assistance.
Is it possible to customize which fields are mapped between Jira and RT?
Yes, during the integration setup process you have options to select which fields from your issues or tickets you wish to map across systems. This allows customization tailored to specific project needs.
