Automating csv import

Question

Has anyone tried automating the process of importing issues with a csv file? I mean the part where we have to manually select a CSV file to be imported and interact with the CSV import wizard.

If so what language is recommemded to interact with jira ?

Hi, @Jack Brickey

i got the same question, and i cant use API.
The source already send CSV by mail, and dont want to change the way they work
and they dont have API.

So the only way to do it automatically is to ask them to put the CSV in a folder, and tell Jira to take the CSV and import it (its a small file with updates on issue)

Is it a way to do it ?

Your best option here would be to use the APIs and create the interface that you need. Here is a reference- https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/1000.824.0/
