Creating Jira Issues Via Nintex Workflow

[Raymond Gramke]

I am attempting to use the Web Request action in Nintex Workflow 365 to automatically create a new Jira issue whenever a new SharePoint list item is created. To configure the action in Nintex, I must supply:

• The URL, which I have entered as https://mycompanyjiralocation/rest/api/2/issue
• The Method (GET, POST, PUT, SOAP 1.1, SOAP 1.2, Other), which I have selected POST
• The Body, which I am using JSON as follows
  • {
    "fields": {
    "project":
    {
    "key": "MyCompanysProjectKey"
    },
    "summary": "REST to test.",
    "description": "Creating of an issue using project keys and issue type names using the REST API",
    "issuetype": {
    "name": "Story"
    }
    }
    }
• A username, which I have entered my own log-in username
• A password, which I have entered my own log-in password

I get an HTTP 200 response with HTML that has a title "Sign in to your account". Is this an authentication issue? I've read about Jira's Basic Authentication, but because Nintex is a cloud based service, I don't have a way of running the "curl" commands the Jira documentation talks about.

Has anyone used Nintex to create Jira issues? Any ideas on what I can do to make this work?
