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?
