Jira action triggers a Github action

Victoria Lee_r1iw3g

I'm wondering if there is a way for a change in status on jira issue to trigger a github action, like merging a pull request.

I know you can use webhooks to send PR information to linked jira issues and change the issue status, I'm wondering if the reverse can be done. Can jira send information back to github?

Hello @Victoria Lee ,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

If I understand correctly you would like to trigger a github action automatically, when an issue in Jira changes status.

Now, if my understanding is correct, you should be able to achieve this by creating an Automation Rule (either global or specific to a project) that on the desired status change will send a REST API request to, for example, the GitHub Pull Request API (allows you to list, view, edit, create, and even merge pull requests. Comments on pull requests can be managed via the Issue Comments API).

For further details and examples please see:

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
Dario

Hi Dario

have a question, do i need to setup a webhook to send payload to GitHub Repo from JIRA?

Hi @Hemant Goel ,

As I have written in my comment before you need to use an Automation Rule:

[...] you should be able to achieve this by creating an Automation Rule (either global or specific to a project) that on the desired status change will send a REST API request to, for example, the GitHub Pull Request API [...]

This is because, as you can read in below feature request, Jira Webhooks do not support authentication:

thanks @Dario B

appreciate your quick response. I got your point but when i set up an action, i do get only option as Submit Web Request and that only asks for WebHooks. I tried to provide RestAPI URL which works locally with me, but in Jira i always get 404 response. Is there any other action i should try for RestAPI.
