Jira Connection Setup

Finding Your Jira API Token

To connect Toolstream to your Jira instance, you need to create an API token. This is more secure than using your account password.

Steps:

1. Navigate to Atlassian Account Security:

   • Log in to your Atlassian account.
   • Go to your API tokens page directly: https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens

2. Create a New API Token:

   • Click Create API token.
   • In the dialog that appears, give your token a memorable Label, for example, toolstream-dev.
   • Click Create.

3. Copy the Token:

   • Click Copy to copy the token to your clipboard.
   • Important: This is the only time you will be able to view the full token. Make sure to paste it into a secure location or directly into the Toolstream connection field.

4. Paste into Toolstream:

   • Go back to the Toolstream connection page.
   • Paste the copied token into the Jira API Token field.
