How teams connect Jira and Jira Service Management

Pick the setup closest to yours. Each one works with any native or custom work item type on either Jira site.

  • Bugs
    Items sync both ways between Jira and Jira Service Management
    Incidents

    Escalate incidents to engineering

    When an incident is found in one Jira Service Management site, create a matching bug in a separate Jira site and keep them in sync.

    Status, priority and comments sync both ways, so after an acquisition the IT service desk follows the fix on its site while engineers work the bug on theirs.

  • Stories
    Items sync both ways between Jira and Jira Service Management
    Problems

    Send root-cause work to engineering

    When a problem is found in one Jira Service Management site, create a matching story in a separate Jira site and keep them in sync.

    Status, assignee and description sync both ways, so IT in one business unit sees who owns the root-cause fix in the other unit's Jira and when it ships.

    Incidents

    Escalate incidents with their related tasks

    When an incident is found in one Jira Service Management site, create a matching bug in a separate Jira site and keep them in sync.

    The incident's subtasks land under the matching bug, so engineers on the other Jira site pick up every step the service desk already logged.

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 status, assignee, labels and more.

Deep field configurability

Configure your data flow field by field. Map any native or custom field and define flow direction for each.

Full relationship support

Sync hierarchies and related items across tools, keeping linked objects, dependencies, and parent-child relationships intact.

Historical data sync

Your sync doesn't rely on live triggers. Unito rules apply to any object in your tools and can include historical data.

Comment & attachment support

Sync comments across tools with control over private and public visibility, and sync attachments for visibility.

Live data transformation

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

Enterprise-grade sync without the complexity

Unlike iPaaS tools, Unito handles data workflows between Jira Service Management and Jira at any scale — with easy rules, intuitive field mapping, and deep configurability tailored for cross-team collaboration between Support and Product teams.

Abstracted complexity

Connect Jira Service Management and Jira with an intuitive, out-of-the-box solution that allows full configurability of your integration. Unito doesn't require custom logic, scripting, or dev-led setup.
Abstracted complexity

Lower total cost of ownership

Most iPaaS tools drive up cost with long rollouts and heavy upkeep. Unito lowers TCO with fast time to value, and no specialized headcount to maintain or scale flows.

Frequently asked questions about Jira and Jira Service Management

Can a new Jira Service Management ticket automatically create a Jira work item?

Yes. Unito’s rule-based flows let a Jira Service Management ticket or incident create a matching Jira work item automatically, and edits made on either side sync back in real time and two ways.

Do comments stay in sync between Jira Service Management and Jira?

Yes. Unito syncs comments across both tools and gives you control over private and public visibility, so Support and engineering see the right context without exposing internal notes.

Can Unito sync custom fields between the two tools?

Yes. Unito maps native and custom fields field by field, with support for custom fields via API. You set the flow direction for each, so the data lands exactly where each team needs it.

Do I need engineers to maintain the integration?

No. Unito is fully no-code, so the Support or Product team that owns the flow can build, adjust, and maintain it through rules and field mapping without scripting or developer involvement.
