# Jira

We support Jira as an alerting destination.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Create a Jira API token**

1. Create an API token [here](https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens)
2. Set the maximum **expiration date** of 365 days
3. Set **scopes**:
   1. `read:jira-user`
   2. `read:jira-work`
   3. `write:jira-work`
4. Select **create** and save the API token securely
   {% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Setup Jira Integration**

Under Policy Maker, select the Jira integration and input the following:

1. **User Email:** the e-mail associated with the API token
2. **Api Key**: the API token saved in the previous step
3. **Base Url:** the URL for your Jira tenant, e.g., `https://customerName.atlassian.net`
   {% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Add Jira notifications as an action**

1. Create or edit a policy, and **Add automated actions**
2. Add an action to **Create a Jira ticket**
3. Provide the **Project Key**, **Issue Type**, **Assignee**, **Reporter**, and any **custom fields**. Ensure that the user has access to the project and that the fields exist for the Project and Issue Type.
   {% endstep %}
   {% endstepper %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
It is recommended to add Jira notifications after a policy has been created and the initial violations populated. A ticket is created per violation, so ensure that policies are sufficiently scoped.
{% endhint %}
