Connect your app to Jira

about 5 minBuildingchecked 2d agoOfficial page
The short version

Connect your Jira Cloud account to Lovable to build apps that search, create, and update issues. Your app performs all actions using the connected Atlassian account without needing an API token.

Anyone tracking project work in Jira who wants to build custom forms, sprint dashboards, or triage tools directly in Lovable.

Do this, in order

  1. 1

    Open Connectors in your Lovable dashboard and select Jira.

    This starts the setup wizard for adding a Jira integration.

  2. 2

    Click Connect to open the configuration form.

    This loads the settings for connection details, site configuration, and sharing permissions.

  3. 3

    Enter your Jira Cloud site address (such as yourcompany.atlassian.net) under Configure connection.

    Lovable needs your exact site address to request access, and this address cannot be changed once created.

  4. 4

    Review the permission scopes and set who can use the connection under Sharing.

    This controls what data your app can read or modify and decides if teammates can link their projects to it.

  5. 5

    Click Connect at the bottom of the form to open the Atlassian authorization screen.

    Lovable requires you to sign in to Atlassian and grant access via secure login.

  6. 6

    Select the exact same site you typed into Lovable and click Accept on the Atlassian consent screen.

    Choosing a different site will cause the connection to fail immediately.

  7. 7

    Open your Lovable project chat and ask Lovable to link your Jira connection and build your feature.

    This enables your project to interact with your Jira data according to your prompt instructions.

Paste this into your project

Use Jira to build a bug report intake form. Let users fill out an issue summary, detailed description, priority level, and steps to reproduce. When submitted, create a new issue in our Jira project and display a confirmation message with the newly created issue key.

Words decoded

JQL
Jira Query Language, a search syntax used to filter and find specific tickets and issues.
Scope
A specific permission granted to an app, defining whether it can read, create, or delete certain data.
Sprint
A fixed time period, usually one or two weeks, during which a team completes a set list of tasks.

Where people get stuck

  • Selecting a different site on the Atlassian consent screen than the one you entered in Lovable will cause the setup to fail.
  • Jira Server and Jira Data Center are not supported; you must use a Jira Cloud site ending in atlassian.net.
  • Every issue or comment created through your app lists the connected Atlassian account as the creator, not the individual end user.
  • The connection will expire and require clicking Reconnect if it goes unused for 90 days.
  • You cannot edit the site address of an existing connection; you must create a new connection if your site URL changes.
