Linking HubSpot Objects In Jira Issues

1. Linking HubSpot Objects (Contacts, Companies, Deals, or Tickets)

NOTE: Linking a Jira Issue to HubSpot can be done from all Jira Projects, and these projects will be visible within the issue window when accessing it in HubSpot; however, when
creating a Jira issue from HubSpot, you can only select a Jira Project which has been linked with HubSpot in the configuration process.

To include HubSpot CRM objects into any of your Jira issues, you need to open your Jira issue.
Click on the HubSpot CRM for Jira button ...



The HubSpot CRM for Jira section will appear within the Jira issue.
Click on the Link HubSpot Object button ...

2. Choose Object Type

HubSpot CRM for Jira allows you to query data by four types of objects:

  • Contact
  • Company
  • Deal
  • Ticket



Once you have selected which object you want to use, you will be able to search for the specific contact, company, deal, or ticket of choice:

When you search for a term to find Hubspot contacts, we'll search in the following fields: first name, last name, email, phone number and associated company name


You can link multiple objects by selecting them and then clicking on "Add selected to Issue"

or you can link one object by simply clicking on the link button under "Actions"


3. Accessing the HubSpot object in the Jira Issue

Once an object has been successfully linked, you can see it within the Jira issue, along with the HubSpot fields selected during the configuration process.  
To change which of the selected fields you want to see, click on the "Manage Fields" drop-down and select/unselect the desired fields.
If you want to add more objects or other objects, click on Link HubSpot Object to add additional data. 

The Save View button allows each Jira user to save their selection of fields in the "Manage Fields" drop-down menu.

Clicking on the linked object will open HubSpot CRM in a new window.

 

To remove unwanted objects, simply check the box next to the object and click "Remove selected from issue".



Notifications within HubSpot, from Jira:

When linking multiple HubSpot objects simultaneously within a Jira issue, you decide which HubSpot object owners get notified about linking the Jira issue to their object.  

Within the Jira issue, you will find a toggle that allows you to trigger notifications to specific HubSpot object owners.

  1. Notify the first object owner - only the owner of the first object selected will be notified in Hubspot.
  2. Notify all object owners - all object owners receive a notification in Hubspot.
  3. Notify nobody

Please note: HubSpot object owners will only get a notification within HubSpot once an object has been linked successfully.
Once objects are linked within a Jira issue, there is a two-minute waiting period before notifications are displayed in HubSpot. 



Notifications within Jira, from HubSpot:

The following actions within HubSpot will trigger notifications in Jira:

- Linking an object to a Jira issue
- Creating a new Jira issue from a HubSpot object
- Changing the assignee of a Jira issue within HubSpot
- Commenting on a Jira issue from HubSpot 

Please note: Your Jira issue owners will only receive a notification within Jira once one of the above-mentioned actions is logged on an issue that is assigned to them.
Once these actions are logged, there is a two-minute waiting period before notifications are displayed in Jira.
