How to connect Jira Software and Mattermost
- Step 1: Create a new workflow
- Step 2: Add and configure nodes
- Step 3: Connect
- Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
- Step 5: Test and activate your workflow
Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step
In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.
Step 2: Add and configure Jira Software and Mattermost nodes
You can find Jira Software and Mattermost in the nodes panel. Drag them onto your workflow canvas, selecting their actions. Click each node, choose a credential, and authenticate to grant n8n access. Configure Jira Software and Mattermost nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.
Step 3: Connect Jira Software and Mattermost
A connection establishes a link between Jira Software and Mattermost (or vice versa) to route data through the workflow. Data flows from the output of one node to the input of another. You can have single or multiple connections for each node.
Step 4: Customize and extend your Jira Software and Mattermost integration
Use n8n's core nodes such as If, Split Out, Merge, and others to transform and manipulate data. Write custom JavaScript or Python in the Code node and run it as a step in your workflow. Connect Jira Software and Mattermost with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.
Step 5: Test and activate your Jira Software and Mattermost workflow
Save and run the workflow to see if everything works as expected. Based on your configuration, data should flow from Jira Software to Mattermost or vice versa. Easily debug your workflow: you can check past executions to isolate and fix the mistake. Once you've tested everything, make sure to save your workflow and activate it.
Popular Jira Software and Mattermost workflows
Manage custom incident response in PagerDuty and Jira
This workflow automatically follows the steps in a custom incident response playbook and manages incidents in PagerDuty, Jira tickets, and notifies the on-call team in Mattermost.
This workflow consists of three sub-workflows, each automating specific steps in the playbook. Read more about this use case and learn how to set up the workflows step-by-step in the blog tutorial How to automate every step of an incident response workflow.
Prerequisites
A PagerDuty account and credentials
A Mattermost account and credentials
A Jira account and credentials
Nodes
Webhook nodes trigger the workflows when an incident is created in PagerDuty, and when the incidedent is acknowledged and resolved.
Mattermost nodes create an auxiliary channel for the on-call team to discuss the incident with buttons to acknowledge the incident and mark it as resolved.
PagerDuty nodes update the status of the incident.
Jira nodes create an issue about the incident and update its status when it's resolved.
Incident Response Workflow - Part 3
This workflow is the third of three. You can find the other workflkows here:
Incident Response Workflow - Part 1
Incident Response Workflow - Part 2
Incident Response Workflow - Part 3
We have the following nodes in the workflow:
Webhook node: This trigger node listens to the event when the Resolve button is clicked.
PagerDuty node: This node changes the status of the incident report from Acknowledged to Resolved in PagerDuty.
Jira Software node: This node moves the incident issue to Done.
Mattermost node: This node publishes a message in the auxiliary channel mentioning that the incident has been marked as resolved in PagerDuty and Jira.
Mattermost node: This node publishes a message in the specified Incidents channel that the incident has been resolved by the on-call team.
