What needs to be configured in Jira to trigger the Jenkins pipeline job? Do you need a webhook or is it internally handled by the Plugin and its configurations?

Hi @Veena 

Welcome to the community.

There are multiple plugins in the Jenkins ecosystem that could support a webhook based integration, but in my experience having that work reliable has been tricky to say the least.

That is the reason I developed the Jenkins Integration for Jira app for Jira in combination with the Jira-Integration plugin for Jenkins. To support integrating the two bi-directionally with support for triggering builds manually and through a workflow post function.

You can give it a spin, and we cal also schedule a demo if you like.

And since a week you can also add Compass to this integration using the new Jenkins for Compass app.

Cheers,
Mark
