Jira
Use the Jira integration to create new issues inside your Jira sprints.
One of the most common workflow integrations is the user’s ability to create issues on a Jira board during a workflow run based on a conditional node or any other specific requirements.
Jira in a Spot Connect workflow enables Ops engineers to track issues in their operations.
