Logging work from Jira in Personio

Question

I set up an automation which is called every time someone logs work.

I use a web request https://api.personio.de/v1/auth to Personio's API to receive a token. With this token I can use https://api.personio.de/v1/company/employees to get the employees id using Jira's smart value {{initiator.emailAddress}}.

I send a third web request to receive a new token. So far so good ...

With the forth request and the new token I want to use POST and https://api.personio.de/v1/company/attendances to log the time. Here I get the response from Personio {"success":false,"error":{"message":"personio.core.api.exceptions.api.forbidden.http.exception","code":0}}

Can anyone help?

Hi @Moritz Dittrich
Hi @Jacopo Pellegrino

there is a Jira Cloud App (JPsync Time Tracking and Personio Connector for Jira) that covers the topic of time tracking and transfer to personio. So it is no longer necessary to build an automation workaround. You can find the app here:

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1236124?tab=overview&hosting=cloud

Here are the facts in brief:

* Simple and transparent time entry dialog
* Direct transfer of this data to Personio
* Definition and validation of working time rules
* Insight into Personio absences in Jira
* Monthly reporting for employees and project managers and their accounting tasks
* Data protection! Data is stored exclusively in Personio and Atlassian Jira Cloud. No other third-party system.

regards

Daniel

Hi Moritz,

I'm having some issues with the employees endpoint but I could make the attendance one work with the setup below:

Headers: Authorization, accept, content-type

Method post

Web Request body:

{
  "attendances":[
    {
      "employee":{{ids.get(initiator.emailAddress)}},
      "date":"{{now.jiraDate}}",
      "start_time":"{{worklog.started.convertToTimeZone("Europe/Rome").format("HH:mm")}}",
      "end_time":"{{worklog.started.convertToTimeZone("Europe/Rome").plusSeconds(worklog.timeSpentSeconds).format("HH:mm")}}",
      "break":0,
      "project_id":{{projects.get(issue.Personio Project)}},
      "comment":"{{worklog.comment}}"
    }
  ]
}

I hope it helps!
