# Jira

> Export issues to Jira and manage them from the AI Chat Assistant

The Jira integration allows you to manually export QA.tech issues to your Jira board. Issues are **not automatically synced** - you choose which issues to send to Jira.

<Note>
  **Prerequisites:** QA.tech automatically detects issues during test runs. You need at least one detected issue before you can export. See [Issues](/core-concepts/issues) to learn what types of issues are detected.
</Note>

## Setup

<Steps>
  <Step title="Connect to Jira">
    Go to **Settings → Integrations** in your project settings. Click **"Manage Connections"** at the top, then add the Jira integration. Follow the OAuth flow to grant QA.tech access to your Jira instance.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure the Project">
    Return to **Settings → Integrations** and click on the Jira integration. Select the **Jira project** and **issue type** where you want exported issues to appear, then click **"Save Jira Integration"**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Exporting Issues

Once configured, you can export any QA.tech issue to Jira:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Issues">
    Click **Issues** in the sidebar to see detected issues.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select an Issue">
    Click on an issue to view its details.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Export">
    In the **Link** section, click **"Create ticket"**. The issue will be created in your configured Jira project.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What Gets Exported

When you export an issue, Jira receives:

* **Summary:** The issue title from QA.tech
* **Description:** Full issue details including type, first seen date, and help information
* **Labels:** `qatech` label for easy filtering
* **Link:** Direct URL back to the issue in QA.tech

<Tip>
  Exported issues include a direct link back to QA.tech, so your team can easily access test results and occurrence details.
</Tip>

## Using Jira in Chat

Once your Jira connection is set up, the [AI Chat Assistant](/core-concepts/ai-chat-assistant) can search your Jira tickets and create new ones directly from the chat interface.

You can ask the assistant to:

* **Search tickets** by keyword or topic
* **Fetch a specific ticket** by its key
* **List recent tickets** from your connected Jira project
* **Filter by issue type** such as Epic, Bug, Story, or Task
* **Create new tickets** with a title and description in your configured Jira project

> "Find Jira tickets about authentication failures"

> "Pull up PROJ-108"

> "Show me recent bugs in Jira"

> "Create a Jira ticket titled 'Add rate limiting to public API' describing the need for request throttling on unauthenticated endpoints"

<Note>
  If you have both Jira and Linear connected, the assistant will ask which tracker you want to use before searching or creating tickets.
