Automation

Introduction

HubSpot for Jira’s automation framework seamlessly connects your CRM and issue-tracking systems. By defining reusable “action rules” and embedding them within HubSpot workflows or Jira automation rules, you can:

  • Eliminate manual hand-offs between sales/support and engineering teams

  • Maintain data consistency across platforms

  • Accelerate response times and improve SLAs

  • Ensure auditability via automated logs of object creation, linking, and status changes

1. HubSpot → Jira Workflows

Create Jira issues automatically from HubSpot events (e.g., new contacts, deal stage changes) by calling a pre-configured action rule.

Key Benefits

  • Instant issue creation: Trigger Jira tickets the moment a HubSpot record meets your criteria—no manual ticket logging required.

  • Consistent data mapping: Enforce required fields (Summary, Issue Type, Project) and map custom properties to guarantee complete, accurate tickets.

  • Scalable, reusable rules: Define action rules once in Jira and reference them in multiple HubSpot workflows for standardized operations.

  • Reduced error rates: Built-in validation warnings prevent runtime failures due to unmapped required fields.

2. Jira → HubSpot Automation

Sync Jira events back into HubSpot by creating, linking, or unlinking CRM objects in response to Jira triggers.

Key Benefits

  • Bi-directional integration: Keep your CRM updated with issue statuses, comments, or custom data from Jira.

  • Object linking: Automatically associate Jira issues with HubSpot contacts, companies, deals, or tickets to maintain context throughout the customer journey.

  • Flexible action types: Choose to create new CRM records, find and link existing ones, or clean up stale links.

  • Secure, tokenized calls: Uses an authorization token unique to each action rule for secure web-hook requests.

By leveraging these two automation flows, teams can achieve a truly synchronized hub between sales, support, and engineering—speeding up issue resolution, reducing manual effort, and maintaining a 360° view of customer interactions.
