JIRA

JIRA is a powerful issues and project tracker used by a lot of agile teams. Buddybuild can be configured to automatically open a JIRA issue for each piece of feedback and crash report you receive on your app.

In the left navigation, select Integrations, then JIRA Issues.

Click on the Allow button.

Select your JIRA project and issue type

Next, configure JIRA for Feedback and Crash Reports. You can automatically create issues, and set the default project, type and reporter for new issues.

Note

Permission to modify reporter By default, users without administrator privileges cannot modify the reporter when creating an issue. If you want to use another reporter, please make sure that the JIRA account you used on buddybuild has the permission to do so — if not, you can let the JIRA board administrator set the permission for you in project settings.

That’s it! Buddybuild is now connected to your JIRA. We automatically create an issue for every piece of feedback you receive.
