Real-time data sync with full control, no coding required

Custom sync rules

Use intuitive rules (conditions or filters) to determine exactly what data to sync, such as ticket priority, group, issue type, sprint, and more.

Deep field configurability

Configure your data flow field by field. Map any native or custom fields — including Freshservice ticket fields and Jira custom fields — and define flow direction for each, with item matching to prevent duplicates.

Full relationship support

Sync hierarchies and lookup fields across tools, keeping linked tickets, parent issues, epics, and stories fully intact across Freshservice and Jira.

Historical data sync

Sync historical records from any point in time, across even the largest datasets. Unito is purpose-built for enterprise-scale alignment across all your tools.

Comment & attachment support

Sync comments and attachments across Freshservice and Jira — including public replies and private notes — so support engineers and product engineers always have full context, wherever they work.

Live data transformation

Transform data in real time with transformers to combine fields, convert HTML to text, extract values, or apply custom string logic through JSON settings.

Get IT-Ops incidents onto the engineering sprint

A Freshservice ticket points at a backend bug. The on-call engineer needs it on the Jira sprint board so it counts toward velocity, with priority intact. Unito links the ticket and the Jira issue. Updates flow both ways.

Carry ticket priority into the engineering backlog

Ticket priority maps to the Jira priority field. Group, requester, and short description travel with the issue. Engineering sees helpdesk context without opening Freshservice.

Keep public replies and private notes apart

Public replies sync to Jira comments. Private notes stay internal or sync as restricted Jira comments. Flow rules control direction; customer language stays clean.

Close the ticket when engineering ships

When the Jira issue moves to Done, the linked Freshservice ticket reflects status. Resolution notes flow back so the support engineer can close the loop with the requester.

Frequently asked questions about Freshservice and Jira

How do I set up the Freshservice + Jira integration?

Connect Freshservice and Jira to Unito, choose which service requests and Jira work items to sync, then map fields and set the sync direction. For the full walkthrough, see our Freshservice + Jira integration guide.

Does this work with Jira Data Center, or only Jira Cloud?

Yes. Unito syncs Freshservice with Jira Cloud, Jira Server and Jira Data Center. For self-hosted Jira, expose the instance over HTTPS through a firewall port, reverse proxy or on-premise agent. Self-hosted Jira is a premium integration on Enterprise plans; Basic and Pro customers contact Unito.

Can Freshservice tickets create Jira issues automatically?

Yes. Flow rules trigger a Jira issue when a ticket meets conditions like priority, group, or category. The ticket and issue stay linked for ongoing two-way updates.

Do Freshservice private notes stay private when synced to Jira?

Yes. Flow rules decide whether private notes sync. They can be excluded entirely or surface as restricted Jira comments visible only to project members.

Is this true bidirectional sync or one-way automation?

Bidirectional. Summary, status, assignee and priority on Jira work items sync two-way. Flow direction (which tool creates items) and per-field direction are set separately, so even a one-way flow can update fields both ways. For most connectors, only new comments sync, not edits.

Do I need to migrate from Freshservice to Jira, or from Jira to Freshservice?

No. Unito keeps Freshservice service requests and Jira tasks, stories and epics in bidirectional sync, comments and attachments included, so each team stays in its own tool instead of moving data across.

What access does setup need, and does it require a developer?

No developer or code is needed; setup is point-and-click. Connecting Jira takes administrator permissions on the Jira account. After that, project-level admin rights are enough to build each flow.
