Bind a space to a connection (Jira Cloud)

This guide helps you bind a Jira Project to a Salesforce Connection.

You need to bind a Jira Space (previously called Project) to a connection before you can associate Jira work items with Salesforce records and synchronize the two.

Before you start

Make sure you have:

• Administrator rights in Jira - only administrators can set up the integration

• Set up a connection to Salesforce (Jira Cloud).

Follow the steps to set up integration in Salesforce

1. Select Apps from the left sidebar in Jira.

2. Next to Connector for Salesforce, click Menu () > App settings.

   Open

   

    

3. Under Connector for Salesforce, select Bindings.

4. On the Bindings screen, click +Add Binding in the top right corner.
   If this is your first connection, the Bind your Jira project with Salesforce panel appears, providing a brief explanation of the step and a link to more information. You can also click +Add binding here to open the New Binding dialog.

   Open

   

   The New Binding dialog appears.

   Open

   

5. For Project, select a Jira Space you want to bind and the Connection you want to bind it to.

6. Click Add.
   Connector begins automatically importing compact layouts. When finished, you are directed to the Mapping Configuration page to check your Mapping settings. For more information, see Configuring Entity Mappings and Field Mappings.
