Sending Current Sprint data to Salesforce

Sending Current Sprint data to Salesforce

Problem

The Connector for Salesforce & Jira currently does not support mapping the native Sprint field in Jira.
As a result, teams cannot directly sync Sprint details into Salesforce, which limits visibility of Agile metrics in Salesforce dashboards and reports.

Workaround

You can create a custom field in Jira to capture the Current Sprint and then use Jira Automation to populate it. Once this field is updated automatically, it can be mapped into Salesforce.

Steps to implement:

  1. Create a custom field in Jira called "Current Sprint" (or any name of your choice).

  2. Create an automation rule in Jira to automatically update this field with the active Sprint.

Automation setup:

  1. Create a Variable in your automation rule to capture the sprint details.
    Use the following smart value:
    ~{{#sprint}}{{state}}:{{name}}~{{/}}

    1. This will return a list of all Sprints with their state and name.

  2. Extract only the active Sprint name using Regex.
    Set the value of your "Current Sprint" field with the following expression:
    {{sprintValue.match(".(~active:.~).*").remove("~active:").remove("~")}}

    1. This expression finds the active Sprint, removes unnecessary formatting, and leaves only the Sprint name.

  3. Save and publish the automation.

Your custom field will now always display the name of the currently active Sprint.

Notes

  • Only the active Sprint will be captured — closed or future Sprints are ignored.

  • This ensures Salesforce always receives the most recent Sprint name to be mapped via the Connector.

  • Remember to map the "Current Sprint" custom field (not the native Jira Sprint field) into Salesforce.
