In this video, we guide you through the complete process of integrating Jira with GitHub using ZigiOps – a powerful no-code data integration platform. Whether you're operating on-premises or in a cloud/iPaaS environment, ZigiOps provides a seamless, fast, and secure deployment with no need for coding or extra system modifications.

What you’ll learn in this video:

Step 1 – Installing ZigiOps

Get started by installing ZigiOps, a standalone data integration tool that works in both cloud and on-prem environments. Cloud users can log in instantly via the iPaaS portal, while on-prem installations complete in under 15 minutes—no need for extra plugins or dependencies.

Step 2 – Logging into ZigiOps

After installation, log into the ZigiOps integration platform using your credentials. Once inside, the dashboard displays key data including health status, integration metrics, licenses, and live transaction logs across systems.

Step 3 – Connecting to GitHub

Using the Connected Systems menu, add GitHub as your first system. Fill in the following fields:

• Server URL (e.g., https://api.github.com)

• Username

• API Key

• Proxy settings (optional)

ZigiOps will validate the connection and fetch metadata, ensuring your data integration tool is ready for configuration.

Step 4 – Connecting to Jira

Next, connect Jira as the second (destination) system. Click Add New System, search for Jira, and enter the necessary credentials:

• Server URL (e.g., https://jira.example.com)

• Username

• Password or API Token

• Proxy settings (if needed)

Once authenticated, ZigiOps fetches the Jira schema and makes its fields available for mapping and customization

Step 5 – Using Integration Templates or Custom Setups

ZigiOps offers two options for configuring the Jira–GitHub integration:

1. Use a pre-built integration template for quick setup.

2. Create a custom integration tailored to your use case.

In this video, we demonstrate the custom option, starting with defining Jira as the source system and GitHub as the target.

Step 6 – Defining Entities and Actions

ZigiOps dynamically reads available data schemas, making it easy to select entities like Jira tasks and GitHub issues. You'll then define what ZigiOps should do:

• Create GitHub issues from new Jira tasks

• Update GitHub issues when Jira tasks change

• Update Jira tasks when changes are made in GitHub

Step 7 – Trigger Setup and Field Mapping

Set up conditions to trigger actions such as:

• Creating GitHub issues when a new Jira task is created

• Updating existing issues based on Jira task modifications

• Automatically closing the Jira task once the GitHub issue is resolved

Use ZigiOps’ field mapping capabilities to precisely control which data is transferred and how it's formatted.

Advanced Mapping & Real-Time Synchronization

ZigiOps ensures bi-directional synchronization between Jira and GitHub. This means any updates in GitHub—such as status changes or added comments—are immediately reflected in Jira, and vice versa. Attachments, issue links, and logs are all included, eliminating manual entry and reducing errors.

This makes ZigiOps a reliable and scalable data integration platform for modern DevOps and IT teams.

Whether you're a system administrator, project manager, or developer, this guide will help you automate your workflows and unify communication between Jira and GitHub — all without writing a single line of code.
