    Note: When setting up, make sure to use the credentials associated with the account designated for creating JIRA tickets through HackerOne. For example, if using a service account, ensure you've logged out of your personal Atlassian account before proceeding.

  13. Click Next to finalize the setup between HackerOne and your Jira instance.

  14. Configure which Jira project and issue type you'd like to escalate HackerOne reports to in the Jira project and issue type window and click Next.

  15. Select the HackerOne fields you want to map to the corresponding Jira fields. Alternatively, enter any text using integration variables. Click Next.

    1. Note: only supported Jira field types are shown.

    2. Note: alternatively you can manually set the mapping to a single field or combination of fields from the integration variables.
      For example: {{triage_summary}} \\ Link: {{report_link}} \\ Date: {{submission_date}} \\ Reporter: {{reporter_name}} \\ Weakness: {{weakness}} Would create a combination of the triage summary, a link to the report the submission date, the reporter name, and the weakness of their report and map that to a single field.

  16. (Optional) Select the Jira Priorities you want to map to the corresponding HackerOne Severities. This enables the right priority to be set when escalating a HackerOne report to Jira.

  17. (Optional) Select which actions in HackerOne you'd like to post to Jira in the Select HackerOne to Jira events window. You can choose from:

    1. Comments: When someone comments on a report, post an update on the associated Jira issue.

    2. State changes: When someone changes the state of a report, post an update on the associated Jira issue.

    3. Rewards: When someone awards or suggests a bounty and/or bonus, post an update on the associated Jira issue.

    5. Assignee changed: Post an internal comment when an issue changes assignee.

    6. Comment added: Post an internal comment when someone comments on an issue.

  19. (Optional) Once you complete this integration, a Jira webhook will be automatically created in your Jira instance. If there is no webhook created, you can use this Webhook URL to create a webhook manually with the Issue Updated and Comment Created events.

  20. Click Finish. Once the screen disappears, click Enable to enable the integration.

You're all set! Now that you've finished setting up the Jira integration, you can create Jira issues right from your HackerOne report.

Multiple integrations

If you have multiple HackerOne programs, you can integrate them to the same Jira instance. Follow steps 11-19 for each subsequent program you need to add an integration for.

Note: You only need to follow steps 11-20 for your other programs because the application link has already been created when integrating with your first program, and only 1 application link is needed to set up a Jira integration.

Multiple Jira instances per program

This feature is available for Enterprise programs only. If you want to integrate the same program to multiple Jira instances, you can follow all the steps above for each integration.
