This page will guide you through the steps for adding a new

Connection.

After authorizing your

Jira instance with your Salesforce

account by adding an application link,

the next step would be to add a new

Connection, which

connects your

Jira instance to your Salesforce account.

Adding a

new Connection

1. Go to the Connection Configuration Interface.
    
2. In the Add new Cloud/System Connection section underneath the connections list, type in a name for your new connection.
   Select "Salesforce

1. " as the External System Type.
   Click Add.

2. The next screen is titled Add New Connection.
   Here you will need to select an application link for the connection.
   Choose your desired application link from the drop-down menu.
   In the following example screen, we are using the "Salesforce" application link (which we created previously).
   Click Add.

What's Next?

You can now start:

• Adding a remote issue link
• Adding a remote object link

Or, if you want to add a remote system reference, the next step you are required to do is to create mappings and mappings schemes for the connection you just created.

There are several options to accomplish this:

• Automatically create a default mapping and mapping scheme using the Configuration Wizard
• Create your own mapping and then your own mapping scheme
