Description

To use the Tempo CLI with a Jira Cloud instance, you will need to add a tempoToken parameter to your customized start script or directly on a Tempo CLI action. The value of the parameter should be a token generated for the instance being accessed following the procedure below. You need CLI 8.7 or above to use the Tempo CLI with a Cloud instance.

A Tempo API token is unique to an instance and is distinct from Atlassian API tokens which work across Cloud instances.
