Seamlessly integrating service and development processes: Service and development, two worlds collide. Different systems for controlling activities. Missing interfaces. Misinformation and loss of information. We know this from our own experience and, as specialists in the integration of systems, experience it time and again with our customers.
Teamworkx OTRS Integration for Jira
Improving collaboration between service and development is one of the particular challenges facing developing companies. In many cases, the automatic transfer of processes can already achieve significant efficiency by avoiding media disruptions.
The use of OTRS in the service / helpdesk or Jira in development (especially of software) is particularly popular. With the app consisting of two components, catworkx provides an integration module with which processes can not only be automatically transferred from one system to another, but also synchronized as a result of processing, whereby the transfer of comments and attachments plays a special role here.
Automatic creation of Jira issues from OTRS
Creation of the Jira issue with the selected (configured user) reporter via configurable status change or via explicit transfer action, triggered by a button click
Automatic attachment of the issue ID to the OTRS ticket
Automatic attachment of all attachments up to the maximum attachment size of Jira
Automatic filling of standard and user-defined fields based on field mapping
Functional field mapping possible via own additional scripts
Creating OTRS tickets from Jira
