How do I get JIRA to post a link to the issue on the github PR

[Jacob Sanderson]

I want to set up an automation in Jira so that when it is connected to a github PR, it creates a comment on that pull request that presents a link back to the issue. Currently I can only get to the github PR via the Jira automatically, but not vice versa. How would I go about setting this up? My organization has well over 100 repos so I can't just set it up individually for each repository.

Hi Jacob,

I can confirm the ScriptRunner Connect tool could help achieve this requirement.

ScriptRunner Connect is a web-based integration tool located here that allows you to connect your Atlassian instance to other tools in your organisation that have an HTTP based API, such as GitHub.

Using this tool, you can create an integration that listens for the event when a Jira issue is connected to a Pull Request that creates a link to the PR on the related Jira issue.

If you would like to receive a demo of how the ScriptRunner Connect tool works, I can confirm that you can request one using this link.

I hope this information helps.

Regards,

Kristian
