You’ve installed Discord for Jira - nice job! 🎉 Next up, let’s connect your Jira project to a Discord server, so Jiri (your new bot friend) can start keeping everyone in the loop.
Before You Jump In
Make sure you’ve got:
- ✅ A Discord account, logged into your browser.
- ✅ Permissions to invite bots to your Discord server. Check here if unsure.
- ✅ Jira Project Admin rights. If you created the project yourself, you’re automatically the admin.
All set? Let’s roll!
Step-by-Step: Connecting Your Jira Project to Discord
- Navigate to your Jira Project:
- Open your Jira project (we’ll use our “JiraCraft Game Development” project as an example).
- Click the three dots (…) next to your project’s name and select Project settings.
- Under Apps, click Discord.
- Time to Connect:
- You’ll see a shiny Connect Now button. Go ahead - click it!
- Authorize the Jiri Bot in Discord:
- You’ll be redirected to Discord (don’t worry, you’ll be back soon).
- Select the Discord server you want to link to this Jira project from the dropdown.
- Click Authorize to grant the required permissions to Jiri.
🔒 Quick tip: Jiri needs permissions like sending messages and creating threads to work properly - no funny business, promise!
- Confirm the Connection:
- After authorization, you’ll return to Jira.
- Your Discord server should now appear under the connected servers list - success!
Quick Troubleshooting
🤔 Don’t see your Discord server listed?
