How to integrate Supabase with Jira for issue tracking?

Integrate Supabase with Jira

Connecting Supabase with Jira for tracking issues can really help in managing project tasks. Just remember, this isn't a built-in feature, so you might need some custom solutions or third-party apps. Also, you'll need to use Jira's API, which means you'll need an Atlassian account.

Step 1: Obtain Jira API Key

First, you need to get the Jira API Key. Log in to your Jira account and head over to the API Tokens section. Create a new API token and save it somewhere safe because Jira won't save it for you.

Step 2: Set up Supabase

  • In the Supabase dashboard, find the 'Settings' tab and click on 'API'.
  • Here you'll see the RESTful API's endpoint and headers.
  • Note down the URL and service role key. You'll need these to create a webhook post request on Jira.

Step 3: Script to Connect Jira and Supabase

Now, let's write a script to connect Supabase and Jira. You might need some JavaScript knowledge for this. The script will use the API keys and endpoints to send a post request from Jira to Supabase whenever a new issue is created on Jira.

  • Here's a simple script to do this:
const fetch = require("node-fetch");
const SupabaseKey = 'your-supabase-key';
const SupabaseUrl = 'your-supabase-url';

exports.handler = async (event) => {
    const body = JSON.parse(event.body);
    if(body.webhookEvent === 'jira:issue_created' ){
       var response = await fetch(SupabaseUrl, {
        method: 'POST',
        headers: { 
          // Include your Supabase service role key in the header
          'apikey': SupabaseKey,
          'Content-Type': 'application/json' 
          },
        body: JSON.stringify(body),
      })
      return response;
    }
}

Step 4: Set Up Webhook in Jira

After setting up the functions, go to Jira and set up a webhook. The webhook will trigger whenever an issue is created, sending data to Supabase.

Here's how to do it:

  • In Jira, go to 'System' > 'Advanced' > 'WebHooks'.
  • Click 'Create a WebHook'.
  • Fill in the details. The 'Status' category in Jira should match 'Issue' and the 'Events' category should be set to 'created'.
  • Enter the NGROK or Vercel endpoint (you got this while setting up the events) in the 'URL' field.

Step 5: Test the Integration

Finally, test the integration by creating a new issue in Jira. If everything's set up correctly, the new issue should show up in the Supabase database, confirming the integration works.
