Escalate customer bugs to engineering without leaks.

Customer-facing teams field bug reports in Zendesk. Engineering needs them on the Jira board with the customer reproducer attached, while the diagnostic back-and-forth stays internal. Unito routes it that way by default.

Turn customer tickets into Jira issues

A Zendesk ticket scoped for engineering creates a linked Jira issue. Severity maps to priority. Public reply, requester, and tags travel with the issue. Engineering picks it up in sprint.

Keep customer replies clean, diagnosis internal

Public Zendesk replies sync as Jira comments visible in resolution notes. Internal notes stay internal or sync as restricted Jira comments visible only to engineering.

Resolve customer tickets when engineering ships

When the Jira issue moves to Done, the Zendesk ticket reflects status. Resolution notes flow back. The CSAT survey fires on close, no copy-paste between tools.

Frequently asked questions about Jira and Zendesk

Can Zendesk tickets create Jira issues automatically?

Yes. Flow rules trigger a Jira issue when a Zendesk ticket meets conditions like severity, brand, or any custom field. The ticket and issue stay linked for two-way updates.

Do internal Zendesk notes stay private when synced to Jira?

Yes. Flow rules decide which comments cross over. Internal notes can stay only in Zendesk or sync as restricted Jira comments visible only to project members.

Can Zendesk severity map to Jira priority?

Yes. Severity values map to Jira priority. The mapping is configurable per flow. Sync direction is configurable so either tool can own the field.

Does the sync work with Jira Service Management or just Jira Software?

Both. Unito syncs Zendesk with Jira Software (project boards, sprints) and with Jira Service Management. The same flow rules apply to either Jira project type.
