This project demonstrates a straightforward method to integrate JIRA with GitHub. Any changes made to a JIRA ticket, such as transitioning its status, will automatically trigger GitHub actions.

Features ✨

Seamless Integration: Effortlessly connect JIRA with GitHub to streamline your workflow.
Automated Triggering: Automatically trigger GitHub actions in response to any changes made to a JIRA ticket.
Real-Time Updates: Stay up-to-date with real-time notifications in GitHub when a JIRA ticket’s status is transitioned.
Enhanced Collaboration: Facilitate collaboration between development and project management teams by integrating JIRA and GitHub seamlessly.
Efficient Workflow: Simplify your workflow by automating processes and reducing manual interventions between JIRA and GitHub.

Setup Instructions 🚧

Create PAT token under GITHUB account Goto Profile –> Developer settings –> PAT (with workflow access) and copy the PAT token and store it securely for now.
Now let’s create the JIRA automation (Requires access to project automation) Goto JIRA project –> settings –> Automation –> Click create Rule (let’s choose when issue is transitioned from in-progress to Done)
Add the action as send web request.
Configure the web request URL, the format of the github repository to invoke the workflow is below:
```
https://api.github.com/repos/[github-user]/[REPO]/actions/workflows/[WORKFLOW_ID]/dispatches
```
- How to get the WORKFLOW_ID? hit the below URL in browser and you will get the workflow id
```
https://api.github.com/repos/[github-user]/[REPO]/actions/workflows
```

Configure the other settings of the JIRA Automation:

Set HTTP Method as POST
Web Request body as Custom with the following content (i.e. we are sending JIRA key number to the GITHUB request as my git repo workflow expects input)
```
  {
  "ref":"main",
  "inputs":{
      "issue_key": "{{ issue.key }}"
      }
  }
```

Configure the headers section:

key	value	Hidden
Authorization	Bearer «PAT FROM GITHUB»	✅
Accept	application/vnd.github+json
X-GitHub-Api-Version	2022-11-28

You can test validate by clicking on validate button, however you will need to set the “issue_key” to some hardcoded value, as you are manually triggering the automation.
```
  "issue_key": "TEST"
```
you should see status code as 204

Remember to revert the issue_key, so that actual JIRA key is sent to GITHUB instead of test.
Save the automation
