Hi Ashwanipal,

In Jira you can trigger a webhook on a workflow post-function. So if your Jira issue transitions between two workflow statuses (say from Open to In Progress), you can have it trigger a build in Jenkins.

We have some great documentation about creating webhooks and triggering them during a workflow post-function. There's also a plugin you can install in Jenkins that should help make the configuration easier on the Jenkins side.

I'd also be doing you a disservice to not also point you at our own CI product that integrates super well with Jira. It's called Bamboo and there's a ton of other nice features in addition to the seamless Jira integration. Check it out and see if it would be useful for you!

Cheers,
Daniel
