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 incident priority, assignment group, Jira issue type, sprint, component, and more.

Deep field configurability

Configure your data flow field by field. Map any native or custom fields — including ServiceNow table 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 incidents, parent records, Jira epics, stories, and sub-tasks fully intact across ServiceNow 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 ServiceNow and Jira — including public comments and private work notes — so IT service and engineering teams 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.

Enterprise-grade sync without the enterprise-grade complexity

Enterprise integration tools handle incident-to-engineering workflows at scale, but they demand certification, scripting, and multi-week rollouts. Unito handles the same workflows between Jira and ServiceNow with rules anyone on the team can configure.

Abstracted complexity

Connect Jira and ServiceNow with an intuitive, out-of-the-box solution that allows for full configurability of your integration. No custom logic, scripting, or engineering-led setup required.
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 integrations. Customers report saving 30–40 ServiceNow licences by giving engineering teams visibility through Jira instead.
Lower total cost of ownership

Scalability and resilience

Maintain real-time data consistency across datasets of any size. Unito's auto-scaling, intelligent API throttling and automatic recovery ensure uptime even during peak loads and tool downtimes.

Get ServiceNow incidents onto the Jira sprint.

A P2 incident in ServiceNow points at a memory leak. The on-call engineer needs to pick it up in Jira so it lands on the sprint board. Unito links them both ways. Priority, assignment group, and SLA context travel with the issue.

Bring incident priority onto the Jira sprint

ServiceNow incident priority maps to Jira priority. Severity, assignment group, requester, and short description carry into the issue so engineers triage with full context.

Sync public comments, keep work notes internal

Public comments sync to the Jira issue thread. Work notes stay in ServiceNow or sync as internal-only. Flow rules control direction; language stays clean.

Resolve ServiceNow incidents on Jira issue close

When the Jira issue moves to Done, status and resolution flow back to the incident. The SLA clock stops where it should. Support reaches the requester from ServiceNow.

Advanced syncing use cases for Jira ServiceNow workflows

Bridge incident response and engineering

A ServiceNow incident and its incident tasks sync into a matching Jira issue and sub-tasks. Priority, assignment group, and severity carry into the issue. Public comments sync to the issue thread; work notes stay in ServiceNow or surface as internal-only.

Land service requests on the sprint

A service request, its requested items, and catalog tasks sync into a Jira epic with linked stories and sub-tasks. Status, assignee, and due date flow both ways so engineering works the request in their sprint while requesters track progress in ServiceNow.

Carry change-request approvals into Jira

A change request becomes a linked Jira issue with change schedule, risk assessment, and approval state as custom fields. Engineering works the change in the sprint. ServiceNow reflects implementation status as engineering progresses.

Frequently asked questions about Jira and ServiceNow

Does syncing Jira with ServiceNow require an Integration Hub licence?

No. Unito connects to ServiceNow through the standard REST API. Integration Hub is not required to sync incidents, change requests, or service requests with Jira.

Do ServiceNow work notes stay private when synced to Jira?

Yes. Flow rules decide whether work notes sync and where they land. Public comments sync to the Jira issue thread. Work notes can be excluded or surface as internal-only.

Does the sync support Jira Cloud, Data Center, and Server?

Yes. Unito connects ServiceNow with Jira Cloud, Jira Data Center, and Jira Server through the REST API. Field mapping and flow direction work the same across all three.

Does ServiceNow incident priority carry into Jira automatically?

Yes. ServiceNow priority maps directly to Jira priority. Severity, assignment group, and SLA target carry as custom fields so engineering can triage without losing service context.
