How to Integrate Jira with Tableau without plugins?

[Alex Kulichkov]

Hello, 

We have a requirement to integrate Jira and Tableau. Unfortunately we can't use plug ins.

Does anyone know how to integrate using RestAPI or any other method? We can integrate tableau directly with Jira database, but its not the road we want to follow, since we only want to expose 1-2 projects for this integration.

Thanks in advance!

Alex

If you don't mind experimenting with apps a bit, you could try Issue Templates - it does the thing that you described, and much more in addition. The app is compatible with both Server and Cloud, and there's a 1-month free trial to test it and see if it suits you.

Here's the webinar I hosted last month which shows Issue Templates' possibilities: https://goo.gl/y3swEa

If you have any questions about it, feel free to write me back :)

Thanks Dzmitry. I have gone through the webinar and all my requirements are satisfied.

I'm happy to hear this! :)

You can still contact me for general info on the app, and if something doesn't work the way you expected, please drop a line at contact@intenso.support, and we'll help you ASAP.

Dear @Sam,

I have created a simple PHP command line script for one of my customers, that reads "Summary" and "Description" from a CSV file and pushes inside Jira via REST API. With this you can create theoretically thousands of issues in a couple of seconds.

If you are a little familiar with scripting and interested, I can tell you how to do.

So long

Thank you Thomas, please provide me with the scripting.

Dear @Sam,

all the basics are described in the article of Daniel Radigan. What you have just to do is, adapt it to your needs. The code can be downloaded at the end of the article.

A command line PHP interpreter is also required. An official Windows version is found here (and other versions at php.net).

Finally you need to add a php.ini file to the folder of PHP, to tell PHP where to find the file php_curl.dll

extension=<path\to\php\ext>php_curl.dll

Dare to ask, if you need more help. And tell me about your success story.

So long

Thomas

Thank you so much Thomas.
