Using HubSpot for Jira
Day-to-day questions about working with HubSpot for Jira: what the app can read and change on each side, who needs which account, and how records are linked, unlinked and reported on.
What the app can read, create and change
Can I edit Jira work item properties from HubSpot?
Yes, you are able to see and edit Jira work item properties in HubSpot, as long as they have been selected during the setup of the connection.
Can I edit HubSpot object properties from Jira?
No, users cannot edit HubSpot properties in the current version of HubSpot CRM for Jira.
Can I create HubSpot objects from Jira?
Yes, users are able to create HubSpot objects within Jira (if they have been given this permission during the setup of the connection).
How does the integration handle updates to linked records in HubSpot or Jira?
HubSpot data shown in Jira is read from HubSpot, so changes made in HubSpot appear against the linked work item. The app does not write changes back onto an existing HubSpot record: from Jira it can read records and create new ones, but not update them. Jira work items are different, and can be both created and updated from HubSpot.
Does HubSpot CRM for Jira support custom properties?

How are user permissions managed between Jira and HubSpot with this integration?
User permissions need to be configured within the connection process. Determining what data is accessible or modifiable.
Linking and unlinking records
How do I manually link a Jira work item to a HubSpot record?

Configuration options are available in the integration settings within Jira, where administrators can select which HubSpot record types (contacts, companies, deals, tickets) are available for linking with Jira work items.
Can I view HubSpot contact details directly from a Jira work item?

Display and setup
Can I use your app (Jira work item card) together with a customized sidebar in HubSpot?

Verify the integration's configuration and authentication, check for any connection issues between Jira and HubSpot, and consult the troubleshooting section of the user guide for specific instructions.
Where can I find step-by-step instructions for initial setup and common tasks using the integration?

Reporting
Is it possible to generate reports in Jira based on data from linked HubSpot records?
