Create events

This guide details how to create calendar events directly from Jira issues using the Issue Events app.

Steps

1. Navigate to the specific Jira issue you want to create an event for.

2. Within the issue details, locate and open Issue Events. The Create event tab opens.

3. Here, you can configure the details of your event:

   Open

   

• Event title – Give your event a clear and descriptive title. By default, the title is fetched from the issue’s title, but you can change it.

• Google calendar – Select a calendar from the list of calendars with Write access for the Google Account that has been integrated. The default calendar for this user is pre-selected; if changed, the default calendar for this project will be updated.

• From/To – Set the starting and ending date and time for your event.

• All day – Select this checkbox if the event spans an entire day. This will disable the time input options and Time zone selection.

• Repeating settings – Define a recurring pattern for your event (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly) if needed.

• Time zone – If the Use calendar default timezone checkbox is selected, the app will not specify the time zone when passing the information to the Google Calendar service, and the default calendar's time zone will be used.
  If unchecked, you will be able to specify the time zone.

Open

Checked

• Add guests – Invite relevant participants by entering their email addresses or searching for Jira users.

• Event description – By default, the app will add an Issue link to the description of the Jira issue.

  • Add custom description – If this is checked, you will be able to add custom text to the description.

  • Add custom fields to description – Any information stored in your custom fields can be added to the calendar. If this checkbox is selected, the custom fields specified in your personal settings will be added to the event description.

4. Click Create.
