How to specify multiple Jenkins jobs url in JIRA webhook

Ashok.T.R.

Hi , i have multiple jenkins job, each one is associated with JIRA issue status change.

(ex) "Dev deployment" jenkins job configured as if i change status of an JIRA issue from "TO DO" to "Dev deployment" , "Dev deployment" jenkins job has to be triggered through JIRA webhook.

Like that i have multiple jenkins jobs for each status changes in JIRA issue. 

My question is how to mention the jenkins jobs url in JIRA webhooks?

(ex) i mentioned https://JENKINSURL/jira-trigger-webhook-receiver/ in JIRA webhook.

can't i use the same url in webhooks for all my jenkins jobs?

Hello @Ashok.T.R. ,

If I understand correctly, you are asking if you can configure multiple URLs in the same Webhook in Jira. If this is the case then the answer is no: you can only have one URL per Webhook in Jira.

 

However, even if I am not that familiar with Jenkins, I don't think having the possibility to set multiple URLs in a Webhook will be of any help in your case since you need to trigger different jobs for different transitions, like explained below:

• For each Jenkins job to be called, the URL would be something like: http(s)://username:api_token@Jenkins_URL/job/job_name/build?token=TOKEN
• Therefore in Jira you will have a Webhook for each job you have to trigger in Jenkins (as already mentioned, you can configure only 1 URL per Webhook)
• So, in your workflow, any transition that should trigger a job in Jenkins will have a post function that will call the respective Webhook for that job.

Having multiple URLs in the same Webhook instead, would trigger all the jobs for each transition.
