How to find serviceDeskId and requestTypeId

Rahsal P A

Hi team,

I am really new to Jira and using Jira Service Management. 

I am trying to create an incident from ServiceNow using REST API. For that, I have used the below body.

{
"serviceDeskId": "3",
"requestTypeId": "3",
"requestFieldValues": {
"summary": "Request raised via service REST API",
"description": "test."
}
}

 

I am not sure what put in serviceDeskId and requestTypeId. Where do I can find those IDs.

Thanks in advance.

The quick and easy way to do it is go visit the portal you want to use and look at the urls.

For example, if I go to a portal, and click on a request to raise, I land on a url like:

https://somewhere.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/10/group/229/create/664

The numbers in there are:

• 10:  The portal / servicedesk
• 229: The group the request is coming in by (only used by navigation, you don't care about that in REST)
• 664: The id of the request type I've clicked on

So, you would need:

{
"serviceDeskId": "10",
"requestTypeId": "664",

You can get these ids by looking at the project/portal admin as well, but this "start a request" url is quicker
